Caged Horror as fire

Unread postby Naiyano Thu Sep 08, 2016 11:45 am

I got the mythic Caged Horror trinket from Lord Kur'talos Ravencrest yesterday evening and noticed some odd behaviour later that i can't explain. I searched the web and this forum for information how this trinket works, but couldn't find anything.

So this is what happend to me. I went to a worldquest in suramar and saw a guy who just pulled 3 mobs. Each of them had about 1 million hp. I decided to tag them with a phoenix flame as i walked by and this trinket basically oneshotted these mobs at the very same moment and did 2,2 million dmg.

So basic math says it does 227414 dmg when it procs to all enemies in the line. Assuming it can crit and all mobs stood in this line a proc would have done 1364484 critical dmg. Still not remotely close to 2,2mio. It had to be a double proc in the same second. Does this trinket don't have an inner cd or something? Can anyone link me some theorycrafting that i might have not found yet or give me some insight on how it works or what i might have missed? Thanks a lot.

I believe it is either missing an ICD or it can double proc on multiple targets. Had this occur to me couple of times as well.

Leaving this here until someone can confirm/deny.

Yea I did with my warlock like 18 mil dmg on a trash pack in vault of the wardens (trinket did like 95% of the dmg) ~ 10 sec.

So i assume it also procs from ignite ticks. Pretty strong trinket for trash and even for boss fights if you get lucky. Although i expect a fix very soon.

Edit: I will log tonight if i get the chance und take a deeper lock into it.

I only have the heroic version, but it seems to have the same range as the Eye Beam that DH's get. Almost an identical animation I no doubt believe it was a re-hash, but with a much, much shorter duration. I've been very happy with it's proc rate.

The range is definitely shorter than our max range, but still has some distance, ~30 yd if I had to guess. I rarely see it miss due to range, more often it misses because it doesn't extend beyond the target mob so it won't hit anything behind it and the width of the beam is fairly narrow.

Super super shitty proc rate.
I cant agree, I feel the proc rate is unstable but I have seen it proc multiple times in a row more than once (it seems that when LB or ignite is on many targets it will go off more often than not), single target it seems to be luck of the draw (compared to other trinkets you are correct).

It's boosted by rune of power making for some pretty insane procs. Can account for anywhere 5% of damage to 50% often 7%-10% on bosses. Also, open world it often just takes 50% of a mobs health. I have a mythic 840 version and plan to use it on anything aoe unless it get's nerf'd.

The radius is probably too small to work well in some cases.
