My Snipers outdamaging arsonist, am I missing something ?

10

So with the patch there is a few changes, one is the new support to do more damage with commands and also arsonist spirit cost increase.

From doing some testing im actually getting better single target damage by using snipers + flame wall and just exploding the gas cloud over and over. I'm not sure if I'm missing something as it's a fairly big difference. Arsonist shotgun ect it's not less damage than snipers gas cloud + fire explosions.

Are people still using arsonist as its a less active playstyle ?

I know they nerfed alot of the gas skills that explode but never changed the sniper command ones.

The arsonists have way better clear for mapping and are less mana intensive than the snipers. They are also less impacted by the minions getting caught on door frames and random structures in the world. I think that is the main reason why they are more popular.
