New Wizard Channeling damage: You need to channel for 5 seconds straight to deal the same damage as on Live

Arcane Torrent Live: 573% * 5 seconds = 2865%
Arcane Torrent PTR: 370% + 475% + 580% + 685% + 790% = 2900%

This means that:

  • This is effectively a nerf for anyone that channels for less than 5 seconds straight per fight. Count to 5 in your head to see how long this is.
  • If you channel for another 5 seconds (for a total of 10 seconds) you deal overall 30% more damage than on Live.

Overall very disappointing.
