Has anyone tested Guardian’s Thunder vs Lightning Facet on Mosaic Assassin?
On paper it looks like Guardian’s Thunder might actually be stronger than a 5/5 Lightning Facet, but I can’t really find any real testing or opinions about it.
For reference:
Lightning Facet (perfect):
• +5% lightning skill damage
• −5% enemy lightning resistance
Guardian’s Thunder can roll:
• +5–10% lightning skill damage
• −5–10% enemy lightning resistance
• adds lightning damage + some MF/XP bonuses. ()
So logically a 10/10 roll is basically like two facets in one socket (at least for the lightning modifiers).
Since Mosaic Assassin gets a lot of lightning damage from Phoenix Strike, I’m wondering if a high roll Guardian’s Thunder in something like Griffon’s or Shako would actually outperform a perfect facet.
But I can’t find any DPS tests or real build discussions about this yet.
Has anyone tested this in practice or done any calculations?
Dude, how should it NOT outperform a perfect facet? What are you talking about?
