How do Spells like Witch Brew scale with the Toughnes changes?
And does the Deffspec on my Withch Elf make sense anymore ? Cause I love it but sounds like with 400<str I have a huge dmg loss now....but im more tanky now with nearly 800 toughnes?
Looking at total changes over the two patches.
You (high toughness, low str, WB+kisses) vs different setups:
You vs low str- you gained defense, since toughness mitigates more cause of no cap.
You vs high str- mostly no difference, except your absorbs are somewhat less effective (dmg is mitigated by armor/resists after absorbs and not before, but WE doesn't has too much of either anyway).
You vs high armor/low toughness+absorb (say classic WP setup)- you gained significant dmg with your nonproc attacks and some with your proc attacks, since dmg is mitigated by armor/resists after absorb and not before.
You vs high toughness+absorb- depends on how much toughness, you might have lost lot of dmg with nonproc attacks (somewhat mitigated by procs doing a little more dmg cause of being mitigated by resists after and not before absorbs).
You vs high armor+high toughness (turtle tank mostly)- significant dmg loss with nonproc attacks, up to those 1 after mitigation hits. Proc dmg from other hand works fine.
You vs high armor+high toughness+absorb (again, mostly turtle tank)- depends on values of armor and toughness on target, but you did likely gained dmg with nonproc attacks for absorb bypass (after you start doing health dmg, nonproc dmg will be less to much less effective, per above).
