Thanks for clarification, @Nekorin, @Angelized.
Another question tho: since they are using the new concept of “physical but also fire element”, would this +1k damage be multiplied into skill factors, due to being physical damage, or would it be a flat +1k damage to every skill, as it always been with every magic-elemental damage in the game?
The most appealing idea to me for going Taoist 2 is having Creeping Death lvl 10. At lvl 5 it gives a total of 2460% skill factor in 20 hits, but at lvl 10 it gives 6000% skill factor in 40 hits. Having 3 overheats, each one with that much skill factor, makes Taoist 2 a stupidly strong boss killer class.
Let’s also remember it deals 40 hits. Which means stuff like Blessing or Transmit Pranah gets calculated 40 times per overheat.
I would compare Taoist 2 with Lancer 2. Both are ultimate boss burst dps classes. Lancer 2 gets 7000%+ skill factor with crush debuff and Quintain’s new attrib. Lancer however will get capped at the 777k damage cap pretty easily, as Quintain’s damage is considered only 1 hit (fake multi-hit). Taoist doesn’t have that problem, but will lose a lot of dps if boss moves away from Creeping Death talismans.
