Arcane Fury stack with Kerafyrm's Prismatic Familiar?

    Confused by the language on Alla for these 2 AA. Is there any point in hitting Arcane Fury when I have Kerafyrm Familiar out?


    Kerafyrm's Prismatic Familiar IV
    1: Increase Spell Damage by 40% to 60%


    Arcane Fury III
    1: Focus Combat Damage Mod Crit (15%)

    Yes, they're two different SPAs, and as such the effects stack. Generally stacking is only an issue within SPAs.

    Kerafyrm's Prismatic Faimiliar uses SPA 124, and simply multiplies the base damage by a random roll between 40 and 60% (e.g. Base * 0.40). This damage doesn't crit.

    Arcane Fury uses SPA 302, and it multiplies the base damage by 15%. However, this damage then does crit, which can make it far more potent, especially with the presence of other crit chance/damage modifiers.

    Also, I'd suggest using raidloot or eqresource for spell parsing, as their parsers are generally more accurate and the wording is often less confusing.

    Its funny eqresource confused me even more.

    1: Increase Spell Damage by 40% to 60% (Before DoT Crit)
    1: Increase Spell Damage by 15% (Before Crit)

    But your explanation was better. Thank you.

    (Before DoT Crit) = The focus is applied before a DoT crits, therefore it Crits for DoTs, but ONLY DoTs.

    (Before Crit) = The focus is applied before a DD or DoT crits, therefore it Crits for BOTH DD and DoTs.
