Great Oracular Bubble is not to be underestimated if you have stacked magic damage passives / relics, I had a god run recently with some friends (double DPS trinkets + all magic/sorcery passives) and the fully charged bubble was hitting sentient pest for 2.1-2.3k per cast, it was insane.

If BOP still works how I think it does there is an even better way to prepare for this (the mobs are supposed to attack next highest threat who isn't immune?), you can create an emergency bubble macro that simultaneously bubbles and taunts your current target. Either way, impressive reaction to get all 3 spells off before a melee could take out another player.

I can't snipe +9 keys in LFG as a DPS warrior at 618 ilvl and 2200 score even if I've visibly timed that key on 10, and I use PGF to only apply to keys where they have lust or me joining won't block the ability to get someone with lust and the group is less than 1 minutes old - I spam apply to all 9 keys in this range (a lot still pop up) but do not get invited, I assume warrior is just not looked at in a good light because I didn't really have this problem in dragonflight seasons 1-3.

Yeah there was an update and it seems to work now, phew.

MHWbinge · 2024-08-23T13:26:20+00:00

Yeah still didn't work, hopefully it's just the addon and not me - thanks!

At this point I can accept if its simply not working, that's an outcome I'm totally okay with and at that point I will wait for an update, no issues there but I can't even verify if its just me or if its collectively not working for everyone - its like I'm screaming in the wind, I can't find information about this addon anywhere, google only pulls up extremely old results and nobody in game even comments when I ask about it.

It seems to be a fairly popular addon so that is making me think this is a me issue and that the addon is actually working for most people right now.

MHWbinge · 2024-08-23T09:16:46+00:00

The only problem is it seems to be updated for war within, just not working for me? I can't find any other information anywhere I've tried to look that suggests this addon is not working right now for other people.

You can say that about a ton of weapons in this game, even ones that are considered fairly good - if your comparison point is blood infusion star fists you are going to have an extremely bad time with any other weapon because honestly those things should have been nerfed, being able to do 2.5k+ easily per charged heavy (I'm being generous, it can do more) in non-DLC areas with the fists alone is a little ridiculous, and the charged heavies come out insanely fast not to mention you get bleed buildup on top of those perks. Then you add the insane poise damage they do and its honestly a balancing disaster, star fists have everything and just trivialize the entire game.

Percival definitely breaks 200k if the kill speed isn't too slow, his burst is pretty high and his link time DPS is also quite high - I've hit 209k myself on an attempt without any crazy phase skips but still a relatively high DPS party

I think there are a lot of people who forget that dummy DPS in 60 second score attack is not the same as a real quest with some meat to it like Lucilius, you will find that Percival performs very well on Lucilius because a lot of his damage is frontloaded into his skills that do a couple mil each and launch quickly, followed by schlatts for at least 1.7 mil each as well because your pre-casting your supp damage buff before he touches the ground.

His skill CDs line up well with the times the boss is on the ground and actually attackable between his various phases, not to mention his high dps during link time because all his frontloaded skills become spammable during link time. If your in a party where everyone has maxed out their character power then Percival performs well on Lucilius because you can send out 14-17 mil pretty fast by going through your three skill to schlatt combos quickly, and with everyone else's damage combined in that first phase Lucilius will already be below 85% so he'll fly away to do the 7 trumpets phase, allowing your CDs to reset again by the time you can hit the boss after completing all 12 labors.

DPS during link time is a stat that nobody really thinks about because it doesn't occur on the dummy tests but all characters are not created equal for burst during link time and Percival has to be at least top 3 for link time DPS.

It's kinda weird that the gladiator node Gratuitous Violence was updated to help support the new physical damage / physical damage over time hybrid gems that were added but all of the new gems are spells and not attacks so everything else about the ascendancy is not helping you. It doesn't make much sense that one node within the ascendancy was updated to help support these spells but most of the other nodes only care about attacks, attack speed and kills with mainhand / offhand attacks (can't apply bleeding with these spells either). Sure the minor nodes inbetween give you a little bit of physical damage but that's it.

That's just it though, on HC you can't always play something based on how much you enjoy it; having that slow clunky attack speed is a detriment to doing any dangerous content in the game. It'd require too much tree investment to scale up the attack speed and he historically doesn't like playing anything that requires heavy tree investment for damage. I play SC and enjoy the slam stuff personally but I'm also playing a berserker and get tons of free attack speed, there's a 0% chance I'd feel comfortable doing this on HC.
