Nether Tempest and Prismatic Crystal

[granatfarfar]

Hi fellow mages, was just wondering if anyone else have had this happen to them.
When I dot the boss with NT and then pop PC and put NT on that as well the dot stays on the boss. So in this case I have 2 x NT dots up, if you are having the same results is this intended or is it a bug? what do you guys think?

Intended afaik.

Better question is, why not use supernova with PC. The burst is unholy.

Probably a bug just due to how things react to PC. It can't be seen as a target, interacted, targeted, affected and so on by anyone or anything but the mage so the game doesn't recognize you having 2 NT's up because the 2nd is on the crystal.

If this is true a boss fight that begin with heroism should yield a lot more damage within the crystal duratin than with Supernova and equal burst in the other cases. But honestly i haven't noticed that at all, because when i pop PC the place around the boss becomes so flashy that i can hardly tell that my NT on the boss is still up and rolling regardless that i had casted a second one on the crystal

Well the reason is because I actually like the gameplay with NT better, something to keep track on while not in burn phase, I tend to find arcane a bit boring with SN. I also think it synergizes well with PC since they both have a 12 sec duration so i will get the full dmg out of my NT, and now with 2 x NT up at the same time wont that out dps then SN as well?

I cannot reproduce that behavior. Casting NT on a different target including PC removes NT from the previous target for me. And at least from what I know from the testing of it, the combination of NT+PC is balance around that behavior.

Can't say for sure I always get this behavior but I have noticed it on several occasion during HM boss fights. Will test this once I get home to see if I can find any pattern.

Now when I have had a chance to take a closer look it would seem that my tidy plates have been lying, the plates says the buff is active but it's not, so just a addon bug. so just ignore this thread.
