Question for the Scrapperlords

[Infinitum]

I just started a Savage Bio Scrapper and I have a couple questions for the powers that be in Scrapperdom if you could be so kind. 

 

1. is hemmorage overrated? 

2. Is it worth keeping if you have a spare slot to burn

3. Would maiming slash be a better alternative to hemmorage? 

 

Thanks x meelions in advance!

I take it. It is my opener with the ato proc. Can fit in two attacks after it or leap and the aoe. It fires a lot.

1: whoever told you to get hemo was trolling. It was only ever good on stalkers when it did quad damage.

 

2: no. Take your t1 if anything.

 

3: absolutely. You should have maiming already.

This. It's a great power for proc'ing. However, at 2s cast time, it will be a bit slow for a lot of folks. The slow DoT doesn't help its perception much either. Still, I never heard of Hemo being overrated, if anything it's underrated given how much hate the power gets despite not being *that* bad in today's proc meta gameplay.

 

With just the ATO slotted, and its 23.19% recharge enhancement applied, you're looking at 89% chance to proc. Very reliable.

@Bopper while we have you here, I was hoping you could answer a question if you happen to know it.  When figuring out the window while the Critical Strike is active, there has been some confusion as to exactly when the 3.25 second window begins.  I have always assumed that it begins after the Animation Time Before Effect (which is 0.767 seconds for Hemorrhage).  However, people have pointed out that the Crit Strikes ATO (both regular and Superior) also has an Animation Time Before Effect of 0.5 seconds, and so the 3.25 second window would actually open a half second later?  I've never bothered to test this out, but it would mean that some powers would be available for increased crit odds that I had assumed were not available.

 

TL;DR:  If you have the ATO in Hemo and it triggers, when does the 3.25 second window begin?  Is it 0.767 seconds after the power is activated, or is it 1.267 seconds after the power is activated?

 

Thanking you in advance!
