Enhanced Pyrotechnics

So it's a passive old version of combustion?

[Zanaku]

super super old Combustion lol

The perks are supposed to come in random order so I would like more people to verify this when they get a beta key.

Also, have you tested if it stacks or is it just a 5% buff and that's it? Since the text doesn't say that it's stackable, I would guess that it is not.

[Anetulan]

I thought it was supposed to be a stacking buff, but I could be mistaken.

It stacks to 5 times.

Yeah, going off the tooltip you'd assume not.

It stacks to 5 times.

Correct, it can stack up to 5 times currently.

[Polarthief]

It only stacks to 5? Wow that's stupid.

Doesn't really help when your crit rate is ~15%. 40% crit is still not all that often and can RNG-fuck you quite a bit. Should stack up to at least 10. It's not like Fireball ever had a high DPET >_>;

I just was testing with the Warlords template gear, 21.91% crit and I couldn't get past more than 5 non crits. Even then I only hit 5 stacks a couple times.

What level is this and what's the iLevel of the gear? Guessing 90 with quest level gear? If so, that's inflated due to being 90.

Edit: Oh wait, Critical Mass is still in the game at 1.3x; thought they scrapped that. Assuming it's affected by Critical Mass, that's not too bad I guess (32.5% increase). Still, won't help for T17 when bad luck kicks in.

Edit2: Curious if Crit Suppression is still in for WoD.

Level 92, ilvl 506. Yes, Critical Mass is still in the game (1.3).

It's designed to help fire suck slightly less with no gear and then be an unnoticable perk in the last tier. Not completely OP from the get go.

It is. Still -1% charsheet per level above you. Do all calculations after it.

So you never got past 5 stacks because you ended up always critting, or because it caps at 5?

Bit of both, once I hit 5 stacks I crit the next one.

[onemanaleft]

does this apply to critical mass? so for example would 4 stacks give 20% fireball crit or 26%?

[Lumineus]

Critical Mass only increases your crit chance from gear, so no.

[Danaos]

It would be pretty heard to test this, we would need someone record their critrates while at static amount of stacks, but you can't foretell if the next cast hits critical or not, so the actual stack size varies all the time. ^^"

[Shangalar]

Not particularly hard, just remove all of your gear and you can test without interference.

If you have the chance, can you test if CM and enhance pyrotechnics interact at all?
