More like 15% BD. ^^ Alac per barrier 1.5s*1.15=1.725s F1: cd=8s*0.85*0.8=5.44s, cast=0.5*0.67=0.34s, total=5.78s, uptime=0.298 F3: cd=6.8s, cast=0s, total=6.8s, uptime=0.254 F5: cd=13.6s, cast=0s, total=13.6s, 4 ticks, uptime=0.507 Total uptime=0.298+0.254+0.507=1.059 Moral of the story: decent, considering you have additional 3.45s of alac stored in F1 charges. However sand flare(20s cd+0.503s ct: 0.084 upt, 1.184 total uptime) would be a good choice if you aren't sure you will use skills perfectly off cd or people arent always on u(first 3 f5 pulses dont happen on the shade).

@@XmantiX Well, the condi build uses some ritualist gear. Thats some extra 14% bd. And I dont see that its any easier to upkeep alac on power than on condi

@@ray5330 I never said it's easier. I just said it should be feasible.

@@ray5330 though with how he lets f1 stay at 3 charges for a while he might struggle with alac with this rotation.

@@XmantiX If base bd was feasible the condi build would be full viper

I think Relic of the Claw comes out to be a little nicer if you're not using greatsword. You can probably do everything as normal except for timing when to use shroud 4 to renew the Relic of the Claw buff. Each loop is ~23s, so you should be able to upkeep it through Devouring Visage, Addle, and Voracious Arc. You may need to also throw in Vital Draw if it doesn't quite work out

gotta communicate with your soul beast friend to time your whirl finishers right when they use frost trap

Distress gives Soul Shards which add life siphon damage to Perforate. I cast Isolate before Perforate in the opener to take advantage of skill queueing. I cannot queue Distress until Isolate hits, so there would be some dead time (which would show up as a canceled auto attack) between Isolate and Distress if I tried to cast them back-to-back. As long as I use Distress before the second hit of Perforate, I will not waste any Soul Shards

I would guess ~500-1000 dps lower

@@saruliasgw2486 have you done tests with sword/sword? If so what do you think? I mean they are frost/fear proc's on them to get more out of "Deathly Chill" conversion.

You can see this in a lot of builds which have a way to "force" condi proc, for example Condi Willbender (F1 virtue), Condi Virt (bleed when critting) and Condi Reaper (bleed when chilling).

The recordings don't start until combat starts. It can only capture the earliest strike forwards, so it starts with Nightfall.

You can find the dagger/sword video on my channel. It can get to somewhere around 44k with good execution There's less to go wrong with dagger/sword, but you'll still be pressing the same amount of buttons in about the same amount of time. If you mess up the spear 2/4 reset often, dagger/sword will likely do better

Spear is currently not recommended for Reaper. That may change if the spear 2/4 interaction is made a little more user-friendly in an upcoming patch

I'm only using spear 2 once. I cast spear 4 > spear 2 and use the spear 4 flip before spear 2 hits to gain the Soul Shards. As long as you gain the Soul Shards before hitting with spear 2, they will be consumed to empower the spear 2

Starting with the newest condition Reaper video and onwards, I increased my UI size to the next step up

Any build which may be affected by a new patch has their benchmark number removed from the website. After things are figured out, it will return

I would agree :x Spear 2 is easy to interrupt, spear 3 can interrupt other skills, and spear 4 reset doesn't work if you use it while casting spear 2 and has a delay after using the initial cast. This is definitely not a button mashing weapon

Are you looking for anything in particular like the gear stats?

I like the current performance but dislike how difficult it is to optimize the reset. It requires a bit more work to pull off than some of the other options, but it has a small damage increase to go along with it. I think it would feel a lot better if you could queue the reset spear 2 while already casting spear 2 so using the flip on spear 4 didn't need to be so precise. Otherwise, I think it's pretty neat. The boon denial effect of spear 5 could definitely use a longer window and/or more stacks in PvE if it was going to be relevant for anything like Qadim or the Dragonvoid Spear is definitely not an easy mode spam 2 buttons to blow every other existing weapon out of the water

@@saruliasgw2486 Agree with you. Not beeing able to use Spear 2 the second time because i press 4 too early happens more often than i want to admit. But overall it feels like a rly neat new weapon. But I also am jealous when looking at the skilleffects that ele got haha

Unfortunately, they do a lot of the heavy lifting here with respect to using main hand sword. This build would start to have issues with maintaining Relic of the Fireworks uptime without it. I haven't had time to experiment with it, but you could try using the new Relic of the Claw and see how that does

In most cases, lower damage is usually caused by being a bit slow in many places. While learning new builds, unfamiliarity can cause some slowness For this particular rotation, you can break it down into sections to help with the flow: - opener - shroud - greatsword >50% target health - greatsword <50% target health This rotation was made to loop with cooldowns, so I'm just slotting in one of those sections like: opener > shroud > greatsword > shroud > greatsword > shroud This can help with knowing what is about to come up next and will provide some structure in case you get lost or mechanics happen in actual encounters. Once you learn this, adding a weapon swap into the mix becomes a lot easier

@@saruliasgw2486 Hey, big thanks for answering, with practicing i was able to pull 37,2k over a 40k discretize simulation of my character (and now i use dagger and sword it help me for fluidity)

The 'Target Nearest Enemy' is a bindable hotkey as well. I believe it is bound to Tab by default. I always play with Autotargeting off just to avoid those cases where you're waiting in front of a boss with a group and you accidentally press 1 or some other ranged skill

@saruliasgw2486 ill have to try it. That would change the rotation. I'd need to know when to randomly press the key to take next target. Usually things die before the rotation is done. It's hard to guess when to do that cause it's always different. I left it on because when I turned it off when I hit shroud skill 2 I'll fly out of range into nothing where as if I keep it on it just locks in the closest enemy. What's the setting called that if an enemy dies at hit 1 of a hit attack (such as an axe attack). It'll just finish off what the skill has left on the next one. Do you know what that's called? Valun had a video about it but I forget offhand. 🤔

Opener is just GS5 and GS4, place both your wells and shout, then go into shroud. Can't be bothered typing shroud rotation but it's on the power reaper meta battle page if you feel like reading the reapers shroud bit :) When you do look at that, you can even not use the 2 skill deaths charge and instead just replace it with another auto chain for an extremely minor dps difference but make it way simpler for you. So that would be on entering shroud auto chain x4 then skill 4 (spin) then auto chain x3 then 5 then exit and use filler attacks until you can repeat the opener. Pretty chill and a good place to start. The reason for the timing on the shroud 4 and 5 is the upkeep your fireworks relic as the general guide for timing.

Offhand sword is ranged, and dagger has at least 600 range for skill 2 and 3. I know you mean for extended periods of time, but the dagger/sword skills do more damage than the entirety of staff 2345 and the staff auto attack is very bad (sub 10k dps). If you had to stay at range for a longer period of time, I would try to just stay in shroud for a bit longer. If you just like staff more, I would expect ~1-1.5k lower dps

it is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. just make sure you are not cancelling shroud 2s, pistol 2s with swaps and be fast with BiP condi transfers.

I am very much so using the sword if you continue past the opening portion. Instead of ending the first shroud with Executioner's Scythe (shroud 5), Devouring Visage (sword 5) is used to extend Relic of Fireworks uptime

and here i am using spectral walk lol

You should also check your gear setup and consumables. Missing any amount of the power stat will significantly lower your damage ceiling. Missing ~100 power from gear or consumables would already be ~2.5% damage loss. I often hear people stating they don't use food nor utility in the golem area. Omitting those can lower your final dps by around 8%. This loss is even worse for power based Necromancer builds because it means your skills may not hit the <50% health threshold when they would otherwise. After that, I would recommend the same things for everyone who is aiming for higher dps: make sure your skills are getting the full amount of hits. Soul Spiral (shroud 4), Life Siphon (dagger 2), and any other skill cast before weapon swap and Reaper Shroud are very easy to accidentally interrupt. Doing so will drastically lower your ending dps because you would have just been standing there doing nothing for 0.5s.

There have been no changes to the build since the upload of this video. As far as I remember, there haven't been any Scourge changes since this was uploaded. Desert Empowerment specifically only applies to barrier applied by Scourge skills, so boon output won't be affected by anything aside from direct Scourge changes. None of the new/revised Relics compete with Relic of the Fractal, so there are no changes there as well.

@@saruliasgw2486 Thanks a ton!

Although it appears very straightforward, the timing of the skill usage can be very tight. It is very easy to fall behind and end up with lower dps. The first places to check are to make sure you are getting the full amount of hits from each of your skills. Life Siphon (dagger 2) and the skills cast before weapon swap or Harbinger Shroud are especially easy to accidentally interrupt. The next is to make sure you're interrupting Grasping Darkness (greatsword 5) properly to avoid the full cast time. If you are pressing everything properly, you should find that the skills tend to follow an order and the cooldowns just barely work out.

You may be referring to the Quip projectile override for the shroud auto attacks and Dark Barrage

50-80 by the looks of it

Every condition based skill aside from Grasping Dead applies torment

Hello, There is a golem setup guide on the Snow Crows website. This typically includes 10 conditions (Bleeding, Burning, Confusion, Poisoned, Torment, Crippled, Vulnerable x25, Weakness, Chill, and Blinded) for builds that would benefit from conditions on the target. Necromancer specifically benefits from the minor grandmaster 'Target the Weak' in the Curses specialization tree. This gives the Necromancer's strikes an additional 2% critical chance for each condition on the target struck. In this case, the 10 conditions are adding an additional 20% critical chance to my strikes. This is why I have a 100% critical strike chance even though my character screen only shows ~83%.
