The April 16th balance patch changed a few things with regards to Holosmith. Photonic Blasting Module's coefficient got nerfed, and Prime Light Beam's target cap got nerfed. This build is still fine as-is, just note that the tooltips are going to be slightly different in-game than what you see in the video.
Strips are not LIFO or FIFO. They are kinda random (at least on wells of necromancers), with video proof. Just record yourself 4 times with same setup (necro vs FB for example) to check it out.
This is something that I plan on formally testing, because in talking to other people, I have heard different things. Most common explanation is that strips are FIFO, but corrupts are random. Going to grab some friends and test in Armistice when I have a chance.
That's showing corrupts, which are supposedly random. But strips (remove a boon) and corrupts (convert a boon into a condition) are two different categories of skills. I did (very limited) testing of this today, with some friends in the guild hall, and it looks like both strips and corrupts are FIFO, but I need to do some more exploration of it. I think sometime in the next month or two we'll do a "WvW Myths" video, that explores some of these weird, niche topics in a structured way. :)

One of the best, clearest build guides I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
I do my best. :)
Awesome video bro! I reccomend to my friends your channel. Looking forward to seeing all of your videos
Great video for the WvW community thanks Sheff
Thank you ❤❤
This is very well put.
Made me understand how things work.
Glad that it was useful for you!
Awesome guide ;o
nice to have on berserker as well
It's in the queue for sure. :)
on point as always!
Well, hopefully it is this time. The last try at Holosmith, not so much. :)
@@sheffplaysgames Following your instructions and with a good opening on the enemy zerg I can easily put 400 - 500k dps in an encounter between blobs.
Looks fun!

Every skill has a priority list which boon it removes first. There is a very old forum post going over every single skill/trait

It would me very much appreciated if u can do a vedio for every class
It's an ongoing process -- keeping everything up to date with balance patches is tricky. But I'll do my best.
