Cobra Totem

[Caramel_Clown]

Cobra Totem seems to be borderline broken. Every time I use it the damage numbers runaway into some silly territory. I've been running a beastmaster summoner a bit, and I've been taking cobra totem and each time it's damage ends up being more than the rest of the kit combined. Just last run it had 3M DPS, while everything else had less than half of that combined. Max curse bosses would just melt in a few seconds. It also seems to be absurdly strong on other builds not focused on summons. It's strange I've not seen cobra used in many community suggested builds, because it seems to be unbelievably good. It needs little to be effective too.

All static summons are a bit meh, but Cobra is probably the best of them now that Chaos has been nerfed into the dirt.
Cobra's main problem is that a huge amount of its power budget is in the dot, and dots tend not to scale well. So unless you're running it alongside Purging Slam, it's going to fall behind compared to properly scaling abilities. And even then, it's just being an enabler for the actual kill skill.
