Fire lure optimization

Ok I did kind of an exhaustive (or just exhausting :)) study on fire lure.

The results are... only put 10 points in for 1-3 star mobs.

How I tested it:

fought leafguards, pathwatchers, branchtwisters, fellbrothers, meadowmounts, and unicorns in stonevale. All mobs were weighted equally.

I averaged 184 damage without lure then 326 with lvl 20 lure. Difference is 142 damage

I averaged 176 without lure then 306 with lvl 10 lure. Difference is 130 damage.

( different averages without lure most likeley because meadowmount was lvl 72 for first test and 74 for second test)

So if you could put the 10 points somewhere else to do more damage than 12 per tick, do so ;).

I put the 10 in firecloak and should be getting an extra like 50 per tick.

Thx to all who's posts encouraged me to try lower points in lures. Even with your advice it hurt to make the switch, so I can safley say I never would have done it without you all!

I think I have officially moved to otherworld because of this, I can get the kills now easy enough.

Thanks for taking the time to test this.

Currently I have 20/20 on fire lure, my thought was because I'm mostly fire dps having maxed out lure would increase all fire abilities. After seeing your data the difference from 10/20 and 20/20 is negligible. Now where can I put these extra ability points...my ice dmg is pretty weak :)

Your welcome. It really depends on how much resistance the mob has. Too much Lure is just a waste of points and there is evidence that taking their resistance negative actually hurts you.
Currently having an 8 lure I still do over 500 damage to level 100-104 red trees. Kelpies have more resistance so I am considering increasing it for I am fighting them more often now. It really depends on what you are fighting.

Nice, keep me posted in what you find, even if it is more of an artistic observation rather than scientific heh.

Ya it was mostly you and Solana that pushed me over the edge to try lower lure of fire.
