What is the spell with highest base damage ?
|
It's all in the title ^^ i've been wondering what spells to cast with my CoC and came to the conclusion that the best spells to cast are the ones with the highest base damage, even though they scale poorly (i'm talking glacial cascade here ^^) or have high mana cost or low cast speed since all those problems doesn't exist with CoC. Using arc atm. Arc is awesome.

Flameblast is the highest base damage at 10 stages followed by discharge with a high amount of charges.
Good CoC spells with high base damage include: arctic breath(got huge buff recently), fireball, EK, firestorm, discharge,arc. Last edited by kasub#2910 on Aug 4, 2014, 1:14:46 PM

Honestly I would choose the one with the less eye candy... I learned the hard way LOL...

" +1 I used fireball, ice spear and EK in my CoC setup. Arctic breath and discharge means no party will take you and even solo it sucks when you hit big packs. |

+1 for the eye candy thing x) that's why i don't use Asctic breath enven though it has ridiculou damage. i'm gonna use arc and fireball.

If you can, wait a couple weeks until we're told about all the changes that will be made. You'll likely have to go through all this analysis again. If you're just min/maxing for the fun of it, carry on.

Cast on crit is so overused...

" Yeah! And thats why devs should remove it and all the fun with it. Or they have stated that less used gems will be power buffed for the comming mini expansion. Last edited by Bjarmfark#0724 on Aug 4, 2014, 2:25:05 PM

" Well i (and most CoC build i think) have very few modifiers to spells from the tree so only the base damage of spells will change something in their rating for me, nowing that, i just made an excel tab about it x), Flame surge>Arctic Breath>fireball>EK>Arc. the other spells are really lower than that in terms of damage and i don't include firestorm in this because it's quite hard to estimate it's damage : the base damage of a single fireball is low obviously but there's a lot of fireballs. That's a 1,5k dps with a lvl 20 gem and you can't go higher than that with CoC because the falling rate of the balls is 0.1 sec and no more. |

" In theory, flamesurge has highest dps potential but target needs to be burning first. I think you're underestimating firestorm's potential. With 20% quality you can get a rate of .08, or roughly 16/cast (or 12/sec). Agreed that it's hard to calculate dps of firestorm but in practice it's really, really damaging especially vs large targets when most fireballs hit. Depending on supports you can do upwards 50k dps with coc firestorm easy. 100k is reasonable if done correctly. |
