Comparing to Thunderlord's Decree

While  Thunderlord's Decree offers a serious boost for bursting power,  Deathfire Touch excels in prolonged skirmishes.

One hit

When a mastery is proced only once  Deathfire Touch is superior to  Thunderlord's Decree in following scenarios.

• Single target and Damage over time application: 1146 AP or 573 bonus AD is needed to match the damage of  Thunderlord's Decree. As most DoT abilities last at least 3 seconds, they share the same damage as single target application i.o. four seconds and thus eight cycles of damage.
• AoE application: 7040 AP is needed to match the damage of  Thunderlord's Decree.

In every other instance  Thunderlord's Decree does more damage than  Deathfire Touch as it scales better or at least as good.

DPS comparison

 Thunderlord's Decree has minimum of 15 seconds static cooldown that can be converted to produce 12 + 2% bonus AD + 0.6...% AP damage per second. Same time  Deathfire Touch can spread its damage potentially the whole time with rate of 2 + 15% bonus AD + 6.25% AP damage per second. This means only 77 bonus AD or 162 AP is needed for  Deathfire Touch to do more damage than  Thunderlord's Decree if it can be used continiously.

Threshold

Sec	AP	BoAD
5	800	378
6	611	280
7	492	222
8	410	183
9	351	155
10	305	134

As the previous examples illustrated, the longer the fight lasts the less AD or AP is needed for  Deathfire Touch to be superior compared to  Thunderlord's Decree in sense of damage done in total. Table below gives some figures to give feel what is the threshold for bonus attack damage and ability power to  Deathfire Touch to do more damage than  Thunderlord's Decree at level 18. Before level 18 these thresholds are roughly 10% lower per level as base damage of  Deathfire Touch does not increase per level.
