An Otherworldly Guide to Celestial

it's +5% Crit Damage

Why PcDL didnt get the buff it deserved is beyond me. Kind of scared. Seems they are rushing these GU. And just announced the canceling of the new UI.

So now we have to continue using this crappy UI and terrible broker and queue interface.

Sorry I just dont agree. This AM isnt cookie cutter (thank God) and Smite's Clip windows with RcW is too iffy to get full potential with. That said you lose damage if you don't have your timing down pat and if your interrupted your even more down the crap shoot.
not my style though.
PcDL is still worth it in my book. Seeing 22k on the initial prec burst of PcDL (half the time may I add) justifies the means of Risk/reward imo.

However, Im not coming at you.. just expressing a different view
If it works for you, that's great. It's just not for me though and I still top the charts.

But,
I could net more damage in a mid range build with two buffs WotPcCS RcW C.I.

There are clearly multiple approaches that are viable. Honestly, there are more now than before.

I'm still trying to figure out what is best for me...I'm having a hard time choosing...lol

I challenged my league mates to a damage battle yesterday.

We did HoH.

One was a Nature dps, one a HL and one was a quantum dps.
My loadout is, Anoint, Bene, DP, ScH, RcW, CI

They were all cr114 and had around the same sp as me. I was cr113

At the end of Cerberus we looked at the scores. I won by 500k damage. Really happy with this update, and feels god to be on top for once. It's all about fun in the end though

Surprisingly Celestial isn't OP. And many players I saw change to it, have changed back to their original powers.

May be im wrong, and is great if we have different views, it helps me to take better choices!!
Do you think a mid range loadout like you discribe get more damage than PcDL + RcW?

It's very well possible
I toyed with BcA and damn it was effective in HoH

However, I apologize if I came off strongly.
I do like your loadout but it's sooo common... the guys in here and game know me as a different kinda guy.
I dont like using what's in. I make trends. I dont follow them.

Is it me or is defile severely under performing in both pve and pvp. I mean for the power cost we should see amazing numbers when the target is at or under 35% health....hell a am powered smite cHaunt hits harder...

I find it hits very hard in PvP. The duration buff, slight might buff, and power cost reduction of Dark Pact makes it great for pairing with Defie. It seems to hit about as hard as Eviscerating Chain now.

I have a question (sorry if someone answered this), but is there any difference when you spec into the wm in the top right corner and when u spec into it. The 5% crit buff has me questioning its difference

The 5% buff boosts the 15% you get with a melee weapon equipped without WM to be equal to the 20% you get for having any weapon equipped with WM unlocked.

Remander, is an explanation of this on the front page, because this seems to be one of the most frequently asked questions about the AM.

and as a dps you don't need a weapon.
I was running the RtN alert with a tank, a heal, 2 dps. I just needed power for the combostarter. The rest was more or less 1:1 powerback (with the troll buff).

I switched over a couple of days ago and keep getting demolished by the other DPS. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like most people are clipping the combos. The old way was to let the combo play out to a certain extent. It looks like now most people are cutting it off much sooner. Maybe I’m waiting too long like the old way. Is that what most people are doing is cutting them short?

I'll take care of it if I can find room.

It's always been about clipping the combos. Always.

Thanks

I found a solid 1v1 and 2v2 pvp loadout, anoint, malediction, retribution, Consume Souls, smite and admonish
You start off with Malediction clipped into anoint, then you can start with any combo ( for example, RcW into smite) but dont use the combo of the second power because it will trigger the vulnerability. Instead just use the might power since it gets the buff after a combo. i have been quite successful in my pvp matches

You know we're always vulnerable now. The two consecutive combos to become vulnerable was eliminated with GU 45.

Really? I never see a vulnerability because i usually go into RcW into Smite instead of RcW into ScH
