Unfortunately, as of the time of posting, Twisted Crusade is not scaling properly for several specializations.
Legion Remix: Infinite Artifact Weapons
Twisted Crusade and Felspike Scaling
The damage from the Twisted Crusade artifact ability comes from 2 main sources:
- Reign of Chaos, the main ability the Dreadlord casts on their targets;
- Felspike, the final ability in the Fel Artifact Tree, which sacrifices your Dreadlord into a felspike for massive damage.
Looking into a quick damage breakdown, both Reign of Chaos and Felspike are doing a lot of damage, as seen here on a quick 30s breakdown on a Vengeance Demon Hunter:
Now, let’s look at a caster specialization, like a Destruction Warlock with a similar item level. The Dreadlord is doing drastically lower damage with both spells, within a similar uptime.
So far, we’ve confirmed this to be the case for all Mage, Priest and Warlock specializations, as well as Elemental Shaman.
What Specialization to Use for Now?
For players playing the specializations affected by this scaling bug, we recommend going the Nature tree, or the top row of your artifact. The Nature Tree is already considered stronger than the Fel tree by quite a few specializations, but some of the abilities are quite interesting and make up for the lack of Dreadlord damage:
- Waking Frenzy grants a stacking 2% Damage and Healing buff whenever you cast an ability for 10 seconds every time Souls of the Caw is procced, and with the proc rate on Souls of the Caw being very high, staying in combat for a prolonged amount of time (such as raid bosses or dungeons with chain pulling) means you’ll have a near permanent 30% Damage and Healing buff up at all times.
- Once you reach the final Nature artifact talent – Dreamweaving, the on-use ability Call of the Forest becomes a very strong cooldown reduction ability, not just for you, but your allies as well!
