Do ES vambracers stack?

[jarlerop]

Just wondering if they stack with eg winged death?

[maestrom]

Yes. But not with any of the earlier bees-line dots.

Thanks, this makes root rotting a bit more viable i guess.

Kinda.

ES + Epic + Winged Death + Breath of Ro = ~325 damage/tick in dots.

If you have to you can.

Breath of Ro, Winged Death and ES only last 1 minute though and have altogether Plus 9 seconds for epic (spread across 3 minutes so... 3 seconds per minute) ~19-21 seconds per minute spent casting and not medding. Even if you have great timing you're gonna miss at least 2 ticks per minute casting and not medding. So with perfect casting you can med 8 ticks/minute. Throw in root breaks and such you'll find that you OOM pretty quickly trying to root rot lots of mobs. If you're in a situation where you cannot charm or kite, then yes you CAN root rot. But if you want to root rot as a leveling tactic you should play a shaman or a necro.

Can anyone confirm that the druid epic ticks for 30 ticks at level 60 for a total of 30*55 = 1650 damage?

[Daldaen]

Confirmed. It's the same at level 50 also.

Thanks!

Is there also a snare component that is just not listed on the wiki?

[Daldaen]

Also a snare component yes. I think it's weaker % movement debuff than Ensnare and Bonds. So you cannot cast epic if you already have those spells on if memory serves.

If you had to design a different effect for druid epic, what would you pick?

It seems like a mediocre dot that gets blocked by a < lvl 30 spell that lots of druids automatically drop on every mob they fight is less than inspiring.

[Daldaen]

That effect is pretty solid.

The epic replaces snare. No reason to Ensnare a mob you were going to epic dot. The epic lands better than snare does on resistant mobs anyways.

Other than something like a clicky heal, I can't think of a better clicky for Druid that would be useful in most all scenarios.
