I have a question, could the novus/book of spades be better than the HA weapon? Yeah i know, 2 Magic damage points, but those 32 spell speed are horrible

The strength if your DoTs are stronger using a max Det novus or a book of spades then using a HA book.

However the overall strength of your spells like Ruins and Fester do "decrease". Reason for quotes is more the window of damage is greater on the lower end. You can still hit as high as the HA book with say a Fester but you can also hit lower more often.
