Venom Weapon vs. Force Weapon

[Aeh]

Magic Weapon is a raw scaling of your damage. Every attack will deal 1.1x the damage that a non-Magic Weapon'd Wizard with the same gear would deal. This means that Arcane Orb, which typically deals 175% weapon damage, will now deal 192.5% weapon damage.

Force Weapon merely increases that scaling to 1.15x. This means that Arcane Orb, which typically deals 175% weapon damage, will now deal 201.25% weapon damage.

Venom Weapon keeps the scaling at 1.1x, but now adds a DoT for 5% weapon damage per second for 3 seconds. This means that Arcane Orb, which typically deals 175% weapon damage, will now deal 192.5% weapon damage immediately, or 207.5% weapon damage over the full 3 second window.

For spells that deal lower base damage, Venom Weapon becomes better and better relative to Force Weapon. For spells that deal higher base damage, Venom Weapon becomes worse and worse relative to Force Weapon.

There are complications. Venom Weapon does not have a 100% proc rate -- actually, it's rather bad on huge AoE abilities. Force Weapon's added damage always works. Venom Weapon's DoT cannot crit (contrary to popular belief, it never aided the CM build). Force Weapon's added damage will crit with the main spell. Venom Weapon's damage comes delayed, meaning the monster may be dead before it is fully realized. For all these reasons, most Wizards prefer Force Weapon.

But there are some fights that heavily favor Venom Weapon. Diablo springs to mind -- a fight where most of your damage comes from long range Seeker missiles rather than Arcane Orbs (low base damage spells favor VW), a long fight where most of the DoT damage will be realized, and a fight where raw DPS tends to matter more than burst because enemy health is so high.
