So now lets compare, if the combo gives extra 10-30% of overall dam, that would make(for a dex mage) for around 50 dam extra. Whereas the dps hits at a rate of 280 per sec. And not to mention if u reserve ice as a last option or backup safe, you'll have an extra additional few hundred dam. Example: Frostbite shoots and hits with 300 dam. <better than the 'pathetic' 40 dam of hot flash> And frost is also useful for dex mages to kite while spamming heal after both sides have spammed their combos. Thats when the dps comes in handy. And 65 armor?? C'mon thats hilarious.
