It's a question of do you get more dps out of asphyx or wrack?

In a group, that is against monsters that 9/10 are immune to stun, you get free bonus dmg on asphyx with the perk.
At raids you'll have a rotation still without wrack and you get bonus dmg on 4 hits of asphyx.

In single way combat or as tank you won't use the perk.

In melee or range, I think you're in more situations where you solo the monster or need the stuns. idk, araxxor+destroy maybe but it's 2x ability.


I'm thinking vorago body swap crackling 3 combo out for flanking combo.
Would you mage rots with flanking?

Flanking No

Slayer
HM Arma
Telos
Really any solo boss

Flanking yes

KK
Raids
Vorago
ROTS?
Destroy at raxxor duo? Who does this?

Why do people make a big deal about Asphyxiate at stun pool? Most of the pool is killed by Onslaught anyways, and it's such a small fraction of one fight in the game.

We don't know the numbers, so we can't say anything definitive about it. Maybe it's 20% extra damage to enemies that don't have line of sight on you, and it's incredible and a must-have perk despite being a niche for group bosses. Maybe it's 2% extra damage and it's completely useless.

Not just about stun pool. It literally increases DPS for every other pool. Tendrils, shark, and especially sand gets faster due to stuns getting better damage. Even like 5% is enough to make it worth putting on Virtus legs.

Also Kaka, Flanking would be absolutely useless at RotS due to incites running the brothers around too erratically.

Right. How will the Crystal Shield perk work?

As it sounds, it seems like something that would be more suited to an ability; e.g: something you can control, rather than a perk which you cannot control.

If it's random it'd be a bit meh tbh, but at least it saves you from taking damage you would've normally taken. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Much agree it works better as an ult, since it gets rather wasted as a leechdps, to the point that I'd want a dps that has shield proc to temporarily tank the pool and call when to voke.

Thanks, Luca!

For Flanking, best case scenario it works on all stun abilities and provides GREAT DEEPS as a body switch for dps at vorago, raids, and kk.

Worst case, it only buffs intended stun abils like basics and deep for barely enough to improve basic rotation by like 1% at the above bosses and becomes a joke expensive perk like Lunging.

We'll see.
