Elemental Detonation adornment is broken

[Kram337]

<p>Please fix the proc rate on the Elemental Det red adornment. It says it procs on 15% of crit spell/combat arts and it does more like 0.004%</p><p>I did a TOFS:UH zone and did 3,333 critical hits. The rune proc'd 16 times. So yeah, please fix it! If it were really procing 15% it should have landed nearly 500 times</p>

<p>The proc only triggers when a mob is killed. Negating any damage really on single target mobs.</p>

[Kram337]

<p>Oh man, thanks for the clarification. What a useless adornment. Guess I'll grab one of hte good ones instead. Thanks for the heads up man</p>

<p>It's good when you have alot of mobs at same time.</p>

<p>it was better when it critted...</p>

<p>All damage war-runes are useless anyway, Avoid: Torrent of Toxins, Rime, Bane of kromzek, Elementel Detonation. Although Rime strike is ossom, so get that</p>

in cod pl run, i do about 2k hits. with elemental detonation procing twice for about 16 hits, and < 3% of my parse. all mobs die in about 5 seconds of rounding them up. elemental detonation doesnt even carry its own weight in pl. i use unleashed now for that slot <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> nobody wants the rune. its a waste of space at this point, even in massive aoe fights. i wish it did something cool on those super aoe fights. ideally, it should cripple vethilot into an early grave. no such luck. he puts his face on the exploding mob and gets buffed.

I still find it pretty fun for power leveling. When you use it's ability to pull mobs through the walls to keep chain pulls going, it pretty much keeps you killing through an entire zone.</p><p>It's just too bad that's all it's really good for.</p>

<p>it should crit again... :/</p>

<p>one of the best war runes for pl'ing (well, the best, really).  Great rune.  Has a lot more utility than some.  There are some truly garbage ones that are useless though, sigh.</p>

how is an aoe death proc rune doing < 67% of total parse on a mass aoe genocide pull? its shocking to hear someone defend that, especially when the rune is without doubt completely worthless against single target. 0% chance of ANY damage, only does something when it doesnt matter anymore and cant hit anything. how much of warlock parse is not direct damage? this rune is asanine if its isnt silly OP in gigantic aoe fights. should be renamed to "Red Slot Removal Cream".

<p>Elemental detonation was a funny item in early DOV since it allowed you to top the ring public quest.</p><p>What happened is that the main mob deaht was not recorded, or that recorded lagged. So the proc was applied many many times to the already dead giant. If you were giving the last hit with that item, elemental detonation could make 80% of your parse and put you largely on the top.</p>

<p>That rune really is fun. Especially when it doubled the amount of boss replacements that spawned from the splitting boss in EoW! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Beside funny moments like that and the people involved whining that they had to replace their rune/weapon or get lost .. I never really understood it's use outside of powerleveling.</p>
