    Tempest vs Empowered stormlash

    I see a lot of guides using one over the other. Which ones the best?

    well i haven't seen any guide suggesting Empowered Stormlash, maybe in raids my bet is that tempest will win in 90% situations

    Ha. Noxxic recommends it.

    Please, never visit that site again.

    Then take Tempest.

    I've tried both and to be honest the extra Stormstrike is too good to give up.

    I haven't been able to check but does Stormlash work in the same way as Blessing of Might where it'll transfer the empowered damage to you?

    Works in the same way, the only difference is its RNG who its on.

    It currently DOES NOT show the damage for you in Skada/Recount.

    It DOES show it in logs.

    stormlash is better for fights where you might have a hard time with uptime on the boss, but tempest is generally better

    I remember there being some theorycrafters saying that empowered stormlash may be better in a raid setting but I haven't seen anything concrete.

    In theory it could be if you make a number of assumptions. You assume RNG is in your favor and it doesnt jump to the shitters in your group. YOu assume that you wouldnt be able to take advantage of Tempest ie youre out of range a fair bit - in which case why would the other people be in range?

    Its a passive option that is out of your control. Whereas there is an element of RNG to Tempest, you are in control of it from there.

    It also gets weaker the further you progress into your artifact, whereas Stormstrike and Tempest gets stronger.

    The Icy Veins pre-patch guide initially suggested taking Empowered Stormlash, too, but they changed it just before Legion went live.

    I'm not saying Noxxic is good, because it's not, but Empowered Stormlash isn't exactly a trash talent.

    They're probably referring to when ESL was better in the pre patch when we didn't generate dick for maelstrom. Once you get both of the SS talents from the artifact weapon, I just can't see ESL touching tempest.

    If youve got basic artifact abilities and you know how to press Stormstrike. Its worse than Tempest.

    He asked what was best not if its not trash tier.

    I have had some new findings on this therefore I wanted to reopen the case.

    Using AMR I recently discovered ES sims higher.
