Do HoX do more burst AoE damage than Demos?
Do HoX do more burst AoE damage than Demos?
It doesn't matter because hox is infinitely cooler than demo.
Thanks guys.
Would depend what AoE you think of.
HoX:
Hellfire Breath. 180 degree frontal cone
Tongue of Xotli. 90 degree frontal cone
Pillar of Flame. 360 degree self centered
Inferno: 360 degree self centered
DE/AoX: 360 degree self centered
Burning Words. 360 degree self centered
Spreading Flames. Dot jumps to "nearby" enemies
Chains of Anguish. Frontal line, affects all between target and yourself.
Demo:
All spells except Bindings of the Skylord splash on "nearby" enemies. Hellfire Stream and Shock are instant cast.
Shockblast. 360 degree, point and click
Inferno of Amher. 360 degree, point and click
Chaotic Blast. 360 degree, point and click
Waves of Flame. 90 (180)degree, frontal cone. (ring of fire)
Detonation. 360 degree
The best is if you play the game yourself and learn the tricks 1st hand. But it takes more work to burst with HOX and they have longer cooldown on some spells.
Thanks for the replies. I keep hearing this HoX is THE glass canon of AoC, and given the Demo is kind of the archtype Mage who I would assume is the glass canon I thought I would see what you guys thought.
For burst I guess I meant blowing all your instants and cooldown spells who puts out the most damage in the first few seconds/casts. I am less interested in sustained damage, and less interested in running through a bunch of combos (which I guess HoX may need for some of their AoE).
I have a nice group setup, but being an altaholic I am constantly thinking of other classes.
Thanks again,

(assuming you pvp) THE glass canon of AOC (as you say) is sin. If you remove canon then yes THE glass of AOC is hox
Jenyu - Assassin
Lutheor - Herald Of Xotli
Destiny
"Now you see me, now you don't"
sin THE glass cannon? wouldnt totaly agree with that, depends on situation
@topic small aoe hox is fine, burst is a thing..demos with 2.5-3sec casts, hox with endless long combat animations...
