I know his damage won’t be the best but I’m actually more looking forward to getting him for offense. I run path 9 in war so his immunities will be perfect. And his damage method is very similar to overseer. Slow ramp up for some great burst damage and then the ramp falls off a you have to reramp up. But match ups where you can ramp overseer quickly via his immunities, he becomes a nuke attacker. I don’t think Maestro will be quite as fast but I don’t think he will be too slow either. Maybe I’m being too optimistic but all the attack boosts in his kit should make his sp1 burst quite nice.
I will point out the attack boosts are all quite small. I think the total from superior rage and all three furies is around 50% of base, whereas Overseer gets around triple that from a 6-gamma cosmic mode, so you probably are being a bit optimistic, but I agree the immunities are very good and he'll likely have some use.
@@Daddylonglegs93 I pulled the 6* and took him to R5 and ascended him. He’s definitely no damage nuke but his damage is definitely usable. I think the 7* won’t be very usable on attack without the dupe though. He really needs the fury refresh to maintain his damage. One thing I like about him is it’s easy to maintain his rage form as long as you don’t have to waste too much time baiting specials.
Always appreciate these breakdown videos. There's something very funny to me about his face basically taking over your DLL logo, while looking quite menacing
Thank you for pointing out Energy Penetration only applies to attacks, I completely missed that my first read-through and got very scared of Cosmic Radiation (still scary, not quite as much). That said, if I have the Energy Penetration and Cosmic Radiation ticks as I’m landing an attack, that would still cut through half of their Energy Resist. by the same logic as the SP1 bursts, right?
Does this mean we are getting a duped maestro in necropolis? The image in the live streams showed a duped 7* and there is no way to dupe him at the moment
Well Glad to see Glancing and Root on same defender. My issue be debuff immune nodes , and Hazard shift nodes limit his counters . Kindred should have passive atrophy and new mystics should have passive atrophy to actually present a reasonable counter in my opinion
In game abiltys on special 2 says he can gain up to 6 furies but he only gains 3. So they write it wrong or is it a bug? Hope is a bug and he will gain 6 furies haha
Nah, pretty sure it's three. Probably just an old string from when the kit looked very different. Easier for that to slip through than for both the spotlight and the kit's function to be wrong.
No one is burst damage immune either, and plenty of champs deal with debuffs. Energy resist does exist, but especially in mystic, which is supposed to be the best class against him. I don't think your suggestion would've been better.
more you explained more i laughed 😆He sounds awful and i love him😆 thats a r5 sig200 for me just to annoy people🤣 who is this evil person that designed him. i can visualize him rubbing both of their hands and having evil laughs. Good luck if you play war☠

Good point I’ll tone down my optimism a little bit, but I’m still optimistic lol. Will have to wait till I get my hands on him.

Awesome! Glad to hear it

Yeah it ended up being kind of funny, agreed 😂
Oh man, so excited to watch this! Thanks for posting DLL

Correct. Just much less likely to line up.
Eesh on damage and utility. I mean he is such an amazing thing to have a playable boss and we ll use him very less on attack even though we get him
Does this mean we are getting a duped maestro in necropolis? The image in the live streams showed a duped 7* and there is no way to dupe him at the moment
No, that was just an image from someone's dev account who'd been testing him. Neither rarity will be duped from this.
@Daddylonglegs93 so then to get his sig we would just have to use 7* awakening gems when they eventually come?
Correct. There are talks around that I can't clarify further.
Well Glad to see Glancing and Root on same defender.

Kindred does have atrophy passives, although I admit I lost your grammar in that last sentence.
Hahaha, well English isn't my first language and I am known for not using punctuation at times. Apologies for that. And I got my answer
No worries, glad that answered it
Well, shit. I was actually working on a Gladiator buff concept write up and it includes a couple of similar concepts as this kit does.
Not a bad sign!
Hates when I end his buffs early eh? Oh Mr. Mojo, dear. I have good news for you.
I’m just going to let someone r3 him then I’ll just duel him a bunch to learn to fight him
He looks like an interesting champ on offense.
He has some decent tricks for sure. Damage is definitely low
I assume black cat will be a very decent option against him with her ability fail mechanic?
He has almost no defensive abilities to fail. Can I ask you to elaborate on that assumption?

It looks like he's going to be useful for other annoying nodes like Backblast, Caustic Temper, EMP mod, etc.
Yeah immunities alone are solid
Well this will be interesting to watch tonight.
Have maestro diferent special atack animations or still the same?
I mentioned twice in this video that they're the same
*Smiles in Abs man*
He's okay, but it's definitely not automatic lol
my r5 mojo might get some use now ;)
Hopefully he's already been haha
Sounds like an insta-ban to me.
I wish he would place a degen debuff on the special 1 even if it is blocked, missed opportunity
How is that a missed opportunity when he deals energy damage through block that doesn't care about a debuff sticking around?
Ok well no one is degen immue, and like the one in act 4, he would place a degen on his special 1.

So not a good bgs attacker then 🤔
Definitely not lol. Not unless the immunities are keeping you alive and you're out of other options.
Not a bad attacker, but not great as someone like Hulkling for example. However he could be useful for Alliance war as a two way champ
Eh, he's pretty bad for BGs 😂
@@Daddylonglegs93 yeah except as a defender. How about for war?
The comment you're responding to specified BGs. I think it's fair to keep that in mind. War certainly won't be quick, but tanky is good.
