Default Does explosive growth stack with SOS?

Meaning when you have explosive growth on and pop the signet do you get 3 times the damage? Or is it a 1 shot deal?

Not sure if it has been discussed, and haven't gotten my rit far enough to get the skill to test it.

If it does then that would definately seem a little OP, but if it does thats about as easy mode as it gets I guess.

Yes. Explosive growth will do 3 packets of damage, just like boon of creation with heal you and give you energy 3 times.

And if you think that's overpowered, try using aura of the lich with explosive growth.

Ouch yeah lich would be pretty awesome but the thing is for it to be REALLY awesome you have to pull almost too many mobs, but would be fun I suppose, sort of like the first time I used barrage with splinter weapon. I like lots of yellow floating numbers :P.

But with death nova would be pretty sick, would be better on a hero prob since they are better at casting nova on recharge than most humans. Basically a 3 skill bar for them I would imagine. Maybe 4 with boon of creation to realy be energy efficient. But with a necro primary that might not even be needed.

Meh..it isn't really overpowered, not like it's armor ignoring damage, it's lightning without 25% penetration. In hardmode it isn't that much unless you have the full 5 mobs around you. And that's every 20 seconds from SoS, so not OP.

yeah maybe not so much, I finally got it an hour or so ago, and it is OK. it does stack up, but depending on mobs it doesn't do full damage, like you said, and you have to basically be right on top of the mobs, and the mobs have to be realy close, to have all 3 proc also. But still a nice spike regardless. But maybe its explosive growth that is the OP part of the scenario.

Not sure what it is but I got masters after 50+ runs on 5 different toons in the eternal grove, which sort of sucks because I really wanted it on my other toon, hate to think I have to switch to rit as my main after he has only 25 hours play time, and most of that was as a mule selling stuff.
