Been thinking sbout this for a while now. Blizz have stated, can't remember when (pretty recently though), that they thought Destro was a bit behind and are looking at buffing it slightly. Surely a very simple and easy way for them to buff the spec would be to allow Immolate to crit. Although the DPS increase wouldn't be massive it would be an increase non-the-less (napkin math to follow...)
For example if your Immolate currently ticks for 2k, and Blizz implemented a talent for it to crit for 100% damage, you'd be looking at, assuming every tick crit, a 666.66 (very fitting number!) dps increase.
- 5 ticks at 4k = (5 x 4) - (5 x 2) = 10k
- Immolate's length in seconds = 15
= 666.66 dps
Obviously these are rough numbers and is assuming every tick crits, which would never happen, but its a dps increase non-the-less and it would also benefit Demo spec, as long as the talent was reachable by both specs, plus as a bonus it wouldn't really have an effect on PVP! Any thoughts on this?
