To add to the description… The pole does tick 3 times per second while the mob is eating it… So it comes up with a decently high matks. But… the cooldown is so massive it has fairly low matks per min / Dmg per min because of it.
I think diev and chronos probably help… But deivs and chronos help for everything else as well. As some people are comparing… Flesh cannon pulls out 16 hits with a 20sec CD… While Pole is the duration doing x3 ticks + 10 tick after if you get the mob to stand in it.
When I did the math for that… ages ago it came out as less then stellar. Still ok since it’s a rank7 class and has great flat matk but not really awesome. But it’s been awhile and I would want to confirm it with new video incase of changes and some real stats. But I’m lazy.
And there hasn’t been any exodus away from Wiz/Ele/Lock so I assume it’s still pulling it’s weight as the DPS best when compared to feather.
Edit: I would add if it goes off same code as Pryo’s flame pillar without doing a lot of science appears to be uncapped AoE like most ground target spells. So it’s probably decent for that alone since most packs in ET are packs of 20 large mobs…
