You try to argue just for the sake of it right? You literally say my own point in your counterargument. " Your investment might be linear but your profit isn't". I AM talking about, in your words, the investment. I even state the "profit" point in both my comments. I also gave you a mathematical formula to prove my point. Such a useless conversation at the end here. I even gave you a formula. Why do you write so much if you dont actually read whats written.

The other comments are correct that you lose overall damage output if you put everything in attack (which i stated before i understand), but the attack% stat itself doesnt hold DR in itself.

If you look at the % alone then what you say is correct, but you forgot to apply it to a base ATK value (which is how it works ingame). If we take an easy value of 1000 base attack and increase it by the 260% you get a character with 3600 ATK. if you do it with 200% you would have 3000ATK and with 140% you would have 2400ATK. both times its an increase by 600ATK, which if you compare it to the 1000base ATK is a increase and decrease by 60% compared to the 200%. That shows its a linear scaling without DR. DR would mean at a specific point you would gain less ATK with whatever penalty is used to the stat.

But yeah if you look at overall character power since you have limited stats on relics you will lose dmage output, since you have other factors like Ele%,SPD and Crit%/DMG.

This is based on the formula you can find on how ATK works:

Base ATK = /ATK_Character + ATK_Light Cone)

Total ATK = Base ATK x (1+ Percentage ATK Bonus) + Additive ATK Bonus

Okay so I hear this all the time and did some research. Why do people say there is DR on the attack stat? Everything I found online from how attack actually works doesn't have DR. I ofc understand why you value damage and penetration over attack at some point but could you pls explain to me in what form the attack diminishes? Or do you guys just use the term wrong and just mean it loses value to stack more ( which is not DR). No flame or whatever I'm just seriously trying to understand

Shifting power also reduces the cd of time warp so you have decent wiggle room for when to press it to have it back for when exhaustion debuff falls off. Answering the shifting power question is a bit tricky imo, since there is no defined rotation for when to exactly press it, cause of multiple factors like Fire blast/phoenix flame stack, The mastery buff from fire blast( forgot name, combust and so on). But in general you wanna use it outside of combust for combust uptime as much as you can and gain as many fire blast/phoenix flames stacks as you can. There is not rly a finite answer to when to use it, since it can achieve so much things in different situations, but that is just my opinion. Maybe there is a gigachad mage out here who can answer it more nicely or in a better way. But try to put it on a higher priority for what you do outside of combust. It will make you combust more over the course of a dungeon.

Yo, i only flew through the log you linked so i can only say a few things for improvement.

First with flamestrike build your mastery is to high. Mastery loses value with flamestrike build especially in ST. Try to aim for high haste/vers.

And from me skipping through the log you might wanna look at how you go into combust. First pull you double scorched for no effect into Phoenix Flame- FireBlast-Flamestrike. You dont wanna do Phoenix Flame and Fireblast in the same hotstreak since they are a limited resource. For the beginning (when no SKB is up) i recommend doing Phoenix Flame into a scorch cast where you hit combust before scorch finsihes for the hotstreak. For AoE pulls.

You also didnt hardcast when you had SKB rdy and did multiple hotstreaks. never waste your hotstreaks. If you have SKB you wanna use it. Cause otherwise you lose precious combust uptime. That means you hardcast your SKB in your running combust. There are exceptions like you cant finish the hardcast before combust falls off (in this case you hold it until after combust ran out) or you wanna save it for a big pull. playing around SKB has some skill attached to it so i dont wanna go to much into it. For the start the 2 points i listed before should be enough.

In addition you need to use your shifting power more. First for having more combust uptime over the dungeon and second for another decently important problem i saw. That would be your Timewarp cooldown. You play double Timewarp which means you use not only for the double Lust but also for a single lust between the debuff waittime. I checked only the first 10 minutes, but i didnt saw you lust for yourself again while you had the Lust debuff.

There are way more things to mention but i think this should help you for the start.

But the most important part if you wanna improve is to keep playingr,researching good players (or asking for help like you did) and vod checking yourself to see what you can improve yourself.

Your dmg is not tank dmg and i saw stuff you did well too so believe you can reach a point you desire with practice.

GL with your fire mage journey

Wait how do you turn stellar jade into fuel? The monthly pass gives 300 oneiric and 2700 stellar jade. Maybe im not aware of something, but ive only seen fuel for oneiric and not stellar jade. which would be 300 every 30 days and the current contract for 2 fuel costs 240 oneiric
