I refuse to play my PB too much because I want to love my WS (despite how much it frustrates me for all the same reasons you mentioned). The concept of feeding off death is so cool, but the resulting feast and famine gameplay can get wearing at times.

well TIL! What a stupid mechanic XD

I thought the heal was a global proc?

I have never noticed it not spawning if I select an appropriate body. there are always times it won't spawn when i select an inappropriate body, such as one that I know I defeated some time ago (risk of disappearing) or one that despawns on death like ghosts. I guess its just one of those things that you need to keep a track of when you see its cooldown coming back up. If you are in the middle of a spawn you can be sure there'll be a fresh dead body soon otherwise be careful!

Good that you tested, if you don't like it then that's cool too. we just got different ways of piloting the same ship right? 🙂 This is my current set up just so you can see what im basing my style off: I have enough accuracy in sunless mire that it will be my reliable opening buff (assuming no eclipse, which will go first instead) Then I can hit mire to boost my next 3 hit AOE rotation (and -res the $targets) then its DNE>DND>GE changeling style which all hit back to back to back super quick. Its then just mopping up bosses really.

I run a changeling with a 6 damage proc gravitic shotgun. I personally don't see any benefit to slotting it for stun duration since your goal is to blow them all up as quick as you possibly can. base recharge with the occasional FF +rech proc per mob, GE is up at the beginning of every spawn. With 6x procs (90% chance of firing) you have a power that does roughly 400 damage to each person hit. that vs just a stun that you can eventually mez a boss with, just doesnt seem so attractive. just 6 slot it for damage procs and blow up people

Post a screenshot of your current enhances, I can log in and send across some attuned IOs to help fill the holes 🙂

I would mirror Lauci here on going PB first. They are self contained and therefore (IMO) easier to pilot. Once you got the fundamentals down, you can try a 'Shade and come join the dark side 😈 On slotting : use the money you have to fund the important global procs as attuned variants so you can slot them early as possible. Use your spare influence to make more influence. some more reading for you

slotting for carrion creepers should be all 3 TAoE procs and the immob proc. Then ACC/DAM/RECH to achieve it perma with hasten. Think mine is something like Rag triple +5 and something else I cannot recall. Probably Winter set triple catalysed

Also, you get the coralax pet too which did 24302 over 5 summons on the 1 run. So that was 8% of my total damage. So the APP contributed 10% overall. Would potentially be more if I swap the two -res procs in spout (rely purely on them in freezing rain) and put two damage procs in. Would be interested to see if Earth mastery can contribute a similar total damage out put with say this slotting

According to the parse: Nado had 19050 base damage (for some reason isn't showing the number of activations) Spout down at 6834 On my build nado has 17.73s cd and spout 51.86. so depending on my clicking etc its probably about 2 nado's for every 1 spout upwards to 2.88 if i'm casting perfectly on CD. The napkin maths seems to imply they are actually doing the same damage (6834*2.79=19066). Just cant get many of them out. Maybe I am being harsh on it. Would have to see how much lifting a proc bombed fissure could do to compare.

Yeah, I was so surprised. Just never clicks that its doing damage since I'm not pressing buttons. It was 1 full clear of Unai Kemens first mission the council empire 20x portals one in PI. Was trying to drop WS on cooldown, i think its higher base recharge vs tornado really does hurt it.

Love me some numbers. I did a parse on my Fire/Storm/Levi troller as I was interested in how much my damage was split between my primary and secondary. Was very interested to find out how much heavy lifting the ATO psi damage proc and energy font proc was doing in my Tornado vs Waterspout with no procs. Also Hot feet+arma proc = 25% my total damage Fire cage spam every other attack = 11% of my total damage. Water spout (no procs) = only 2% So now I can proc it out and retest to see how much extra damage I get. Then decide if its worth while to keep that or respec and test say Stone with a proc'd fissure spam. Could not do that without the tool so thumbs up from me b(^_^)b Also Might test proc'd out Hot Feet vs 5x Arma
