I don’t know what is the best way to handle it internally, but I really believe something needs to be done.
I had a bit more time, I’ll expand on the issue, and why it is problematic.
First of all, I have built a little something with the WLogs API in order to get more significant data on EQ usage. I have randomly fetched a log in every 100 logs between rank 1 and 5000 (60th percentile).
The source code is available on GitHub, and the results are in the repo, the average damage of EQ + Seismic Lightning is 15% of overall damage, roughly half of what AMR predicts.
This has some important consequences when it comes to optimization, in particular the choice of legendaries. Indeed, the damage that AMR attributes to EQ is actually done by Chain Lightning.
WLogs makes it very clear that two legendaries are way better on this fight, Sephuz Secret + Al’Akir Acrimony.
The lack of damage attributed to CL leads to a situation where using 640 Uncertain Reminded (Not Available) sims higher than 970 Al’Akir Acrimony (Not Available).
While it is easy to overcome this effect by locking Al’Akir, I think there is important effects on the desired stat distribution (for example, Mastery has no effect on EQ, but Chain Lightning damage scales with Mastery)
Thanks for reading. I remain available for anything you may need to improve this damage distribution
