After the hotfix, I noticed it brought a small problem with it. LB used to 'jump' to 2 other targets with Inferno Blast, and also ignite and whatnot was spreaded to those 2 targets.
But after the hotfix, inferno blast now spreads to 3 aditional targets. So, we have 4 targets with Ignite, Combustion etc, but here is the problem, it still only spreads LB among 3 targets.
And here comes the problem, spreading with Inferno Blast often takes (I'm not sure if it is always the case with 4 or more targets) Living Bomb with it, and my target just lost Living bomb, and thus lost Pyromaniac.
It is not a big dps loss, but it means you lose a gcd once in a while, as you might prefer LB on your target rather then the adds. Ofcourse you can just change targets, but thats only viable if the target has a large health pool.
Without pyromaniac, it IS a big dps loss.. but you don't lose it when spreading. It also lasts 2~ sec longer then LB.
*Dec 15* Just doing it right now.. Pyromaniac seems to be spreading to that extra, with ignite/combustion/pyro.. Living Bomb stays on your primary + 2 secondary.
Living Bomb will leave your "primary" target only if you manually laid out 2 other living bombs.
I did numerous testing after the hotfix to see what was going on with the discrepancy between the number of targets LB and our other dots would jump to. I wanted to see if the target limit for LB was silently buffed, or if there were any problems with it leaving the primary target. Neither was the case. In every test the LB remained on the primary target, and spread to 2 additional targets (total of 3 targets). Other dots spread to 3 additional targets (total of 4 targets).
The only odd thing I saw happening during the tests is that the pyromaniac debuff spread like the pyro, ignite, and combustion dots. So, despite LB only being on 3 targets, your pyromaniac debuff will be on 4 targets after an IB spread.
