Crit dmg bonus vs crit chance wand for oracle coc comet and other questions

When I was playing it, I opted for living bomb on Spellslinger. Comet X2 only works if your spark /triggering spell does good damage to gain lots of CoC energy.

Crit stuff depends on if you're crit capped or not after new wand + tree modifications.

Crit chance on wand is better simply because you can get crit damage elsewhere. T1 crit damage is worth 3-4 small passives? It's really poor value.

living bomb will be better because its about 2-2.5x damage of 1 comet and u will spend half the mana of using compared to using 2 comets. but living bomb does not work on COC if u are 1 shotting everything for some reason, i think thats a bug. I couldnt use living bomb because all mobs get 1 shot and i only see it on bosses. if living bomb is proccing for u everytime in maps then u should definitely use it

Crit chance simply because the number is much higher. Extra damage matters if you have inc on specific elements. And finally I personally prefer to just socket one comet without living bomb. Works well for me.

As others said crit chance on wand is better mainly because you can get more crit dmg in other spots.

You get most out of gain as extra lightning if you’re using archmage (which you should) then gain as cold is next. Fire as extra is still okay to have just not as much as the others.

I wouldn’t do double comet unless you’re generating a significant amount of energy. Even then, 2 comets is twice the cost of 1. I prefer casting 1 comet 2 times vs 2 comets at once. If you really want to see “more” comets, just use spell cascade.

Having living bomb in the coc is purely for convenience of generating fire infusions. It’s good if you don’t want to manually cost or use spellslinger.

Also highly recommend you fit in COEA into the build as well for more comets and dmg output.

Here’s my build if you wanted ideas.
