this BBlos HBG is the same type of pierce as BBlos Bow.. which was piercing shot..
so i've decided to use crit eye lvl4 + reload speed lvl3 + recoil down lvl1 and burst lvl 3 (with driftstones applied)

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

Nice build!
If you can swing it, I’d recommend maxing burst. That damage buff is kinda crazy with this weapon

[@andrewharry6967]

@@Saint0Salsa-mhn thats what im going to.. but it takes a lot of effort when driftsmelting..

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

Omg tell me about it. It’s driving me absolutely insane 😆 I just need one more burst drift to finally hit 5 on my dps set

[@bizzard_bk]

Good, i'm deciding to build this weapon.

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

If you’re going to build just one HBG, it’s easily the best bang for your buck imo

[@bizzard_bk]

@@Saint0Salsa-mhn Yah, it's good one HBG

[@itskeicoffee]

Care to share set for BBlos HBG? Im running burst, and some recoil down 1 and reload 3

I would love to drift another point of burst and crit eye to round it out

[@itskeicoffee]

@@Saint0Salsa-mhn why not go for deviljo chest instead

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

Great question! It’s mainly personal preference while I drift better builds and I had crit eye on my Odo chest already.
The difference is theoretically ~2.3% damage between the two (without a drift on the Jho chest) at weapon grade 10/1. The deciding factor was that I have the Odo at 8/2 and the Jho is only 6/2 atm

[@miguelcervera3377]

A have My Rath chest with WE 1.
Having WE 5 would be better than WE 2 & Crit eye 3?

[@itskeicoffee]

@@miguelcervera3377 WE inconsistent since you need to always hit the weakspot to always hope to proc the bonus affinity

[@GadocNoob]

bblos hbg have affinity -30%, isn't this affect the hbg damage?

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

Yes, but not as much as you’d think.
Since the BBlos HBG has such high base damage, it greatly offsets the negative affinity even without skills like crit eye or WEx

[@HellBound1986]

What grade is the HBG?

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

Grade 10/1 at the moment. I’m still grinding to get the last few greens to get it upgraded

[@ascalone9806]

Shit looks more OP than the bblos bow💀

[@Saint0Salsa-mhn]

I wouldn’t say it’s OP, but it definitely is a great option for a generalist build. It would be my recommendation if you could only make one HBG though.
The BBlos bow is on a whole other level. If I can’t kill it with my BBlos HBG, my BBlos Bow does it comfortably

[@HellBound1986]

@@ascalone9806 the bblos bow is a super weapon. There is no other raw weapon that comes close. Personally I hate the charge mechanic on bows, so I stick with my bblos DB, but you can't knock the bow. It's on its own level.
