I don't know why you guys keep saying "60k".

It's only 60k if every tick of it crits.

The reason aurora is "bad" is because HoTs, and DoTs, exist to be higher return but over longer duration.

Aurora isn't stronger than anything other than small-pack Abyssal Drain. It's equal to equilibrium, but part and parcels over 18s.

No one would say "Regen is good" if it was 700 instead of 1200.
