I notice both discretize and snowcrows Condi Firebrand DPS builds run Grieving pieces. I'm confused as to why Ferocity helps on a condi build. Why not use sinister and get higher condi damage? Ferocity helps with crit damage but crit chance isn't even near 100% on a condi build. From watching stat sheets on DPS videos, crit chance is 69.61% with the appropriate DPS golemn buffs. Is there a trait that fills in the remaining 30% crit chance? Riteous instinct adds 25% but the build doesn't run it.

Hi guys. For fractals: I want to make a support build and I'm looking at the current meta. I see support quickbrand with berserker gear and support renegade with diviner gear. Neither of these look like healer support builds. How does this team composition work? Does either the quickbrand or the diviner need to swap gear and build to provide heals? Do they both provide mediocre heals that add up to one good healer?

Vengence says:

When enemies die, they enhance nearby foes with multiple boons; **does not apply to elite foes**. Strip any enemy boon to inflict them with weakness.

Since trash mobs die super fast, maybe I don't even care about this instability. I only care about DPS against bosses. Also, if trashmobs cant give bosses boons from Vengence, then I really only care about the No Pain No Gain instability.

Ahh there are two instabilities to worry about. Ok thanks for the help! Maybe I'll consider ranger runes since I'll always have a minion (unless it dies...)

Hey guys,

Except for the odd day when there is that instability that grants boons, does CM100 or CM99 bosses have self buffing boons? I'm thinking of trying Rune of Spellbreaker. I'll be on a reaper so assume I won't be adding "remove boon skills" to my rotation.

I watched some youtube videos and I don't see any yellow boon buff icons on the bosses. Arkk does have this blue shield icon though. Any idea what that buff is?

Thanks in advance!

Noobie here. I'm looking at Snowcrows raid build and I'm wondering why did they choose assasin's stat (251 precision) Greatsword + Sigil of Accuracy (7% crit) vs Berserker stats + Sigil of Impact? I understand the build no longer uses Decimate Defenses trait and instead uses Soul Eater. If you include Death Perception (33% crit rate), the crit rate in shroud form is 128% with spotter+banner. Without Death Perception, you're at 95% crit chance so maybe they are aiming for 100% crit chance outside of shroud? They will loose the Sigil of Impact bonus though.

Hi guys. I'm trying to learn how to be a good meta-banner slave. Is it the BS warrior's job to provide everyone in the party with 25 stacks of might as well? If yes, how do you do it? I've been running one banner and use "For Great Justice" because I'm struggling to keep might at 25 stacks. My old build used to be called Phalanx Strength GS build. I just returned a month ago so I'm trying to figure out how to play again.

From what I understand, I can get:

5 stacks of might from axe burst skill

My elite is signet of rage, but I'm not suppose to activate it, right?

Forceful Greatsword - not using a GS though. I still trait it because crits generate might.

I do run PhanxStrength because I'm assuming my teammates want me to provide them with might

My old build used to run superior sigil of strength but that got replaced with scholars.

My current build and gear closely matches the metabattle build except I use: mend (physical dmg and condition removal, For Great justice for might/fury, signet of rage for the passive bonus?, and PhalanxStrength)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks
