Hey, i'm taking a break from raids atm so not sure when i'll have motivation to update my guide, but in all cases i'd strongly recommand the PMB hammer build over the ESCU sword one. The hammer rotation is extremely similar to the rifle one

Hey, yeah, build and rota remain unchanged. pHolo will probably stand in the incoming meta in the same spot it had in the previous one : not the strongest pDPS (catalyst and virtuoso at least will be much higher), but still a strong and viable option.

@@oofskye6019 what about the opener where you start with 80 percent heat?

@@BIGshippyy Same ! (75% heat actually if you wanna fit forge 3 + 4)

Tx !

Yes it is ! You can even use rifle 4 out of forge mode now as it doesnt knock you backward anymore. Power holo isn't optimal in fractals (in the current state of the game I would recommand playing scourge or firebrand instead), but it is still really efficient in raids on almost any boss. On condi bosses like Matthias or Cairn you can even use it to boost the condi dmg of the squad by taking pin point distribution.

@@oofskye6019 Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I've been playing scg and fb for a while but it gets me real bored to be honest :D But definitely I'll learn the class and try on the raids! Thanks for the guide again ^_^

You mean the asura on the thumbnail or my norn in the vid ?

@@oofskye6019 yes please

@@oofskye6019 how do I get it?

@@johnalfaro4779 You didnt answer me ! Which one are you talking about ?

@@oofskye6019 the asura in the thumbnail

Hey, sry for the late answer. The sword/pistol build uses a different rotation and different traits. You can find both the build and the rotation the SC website : snowcrows.com/raids/builds/engineer/holosmith/power/

I'm afraid I wont be of any help here. I dont play the sword rotation sadly. It's slightly higher on burst and on benchmark tho, so there is definitely a reward for learning it. Both rotations have similarities tho (in the forge section for example), so if you are familiar with the rifle rotation, I think it's pretty easy to learn the sword one. It only takes time to adjust the rotation to the different encounters, cause the management of the forge would differ. Sry I cant help :/

There must be similar vids for other classes around there, but I did it for power holo only so far. I'm thinking of doing it for chrono, which is the class I now play the most in raids, but this one would be harder to explain. Not because the rotation is hard (it s actually easier than most of the dps classes rotations), but because there are many ways to play chrono boon in raids, depending on what boons you are expected to give and on the composition of your squad. I might do it when I'm released from IRL stuff. I know Jaffas made a couple chrono guides, but I assume they are now out dated... you can check tho.

This is me just suggesting to cast rifle/grenade/bomb in this order as a mnemonic. It has no incidence on your personal dps, so you're free to start wether with grenades or bombs. Actually there are many fights where it's worth engaging your rotation with rifle 3 and grenade 2 to begin dealing dmg before you get to the boss (like on sabetha or or sloth for example).

General option/ Combat/movement/ Ground targeting : instant. This helps you rotating faster !

@@oofskye6019 Thx. One more question, are you enabling "snap ground target to current target" for raid boss encounters?

@@xiaoda4923 Not when I play holo. I think there are only a few cases where you want to check this, like playing druid on Matthias and making sure you will land you staff 5 right on him when he jumps. Maybe I'm wrong tho, but engie's greenades are hiting the target in all cases.

​@@oofskye6019 sure. if I select "instant" as you suggested, does it mean the grenades will be thrown to where my mouse cursor is? In that case, do I have to make sure my mouse curse always overlaps with the bosses? Your explanations are rly appreciated!

@@xiaoda4923 Yes exactly. It's faster than the other options, but the "trade off" is that you want to make sure you are always aiming the boss

Never left the game ! Still playing on daily basis but cant upload much atm. Thinking of a vid about chrono that might come later ! Tx for the support :)

There are actually many different rotations for pholo, depending on which weapon you use and which traits you take. The sword rotation is usually played with the ECSU trait (instead of PBM), meaning you want to leave forge before overheating. Also the sword ECSU rotation uses rifle turret instead of bomb kit. In total, the rotation is pretty different from that one I am playing here.

Condi holo exists for that. Ferocity is a huge part of power builds. Like, one of the most important stats in the game. With low ferocity, you lose the ability to do over twice your usual damage due to crits.

Like Tyler said, there is no point in taking condi trait in this build. Power holo benefits from condis through the "modified ammo" trait, but you want to let the condi dps do that job for you :D

Because I have most of my skills bound on mouse buttons, which makes me shake constantly when I rotate XD

Ah ok thank you that makes sense. At first I was thinking that there was some settings in game that I was missing out that auto snaps the mouse to target. Sometimes I have troubles when I'm moving very quickly and get disorientated when I need to aim my grenades.

@@Qaxie there is an option "Snap ground target to current target" that may help you

glad it helped !

depends on the raid instances, but usually around 50 ping

Absolutely possible at 80ms. 80ms is actually quite low latency (exactly 0.08 seconds to communicate with the game server each instruction)

oceanic ping enters the chat :D

Well the very purpose of SC benchmarks is to compare the different classes. So atm, holo is in a good position, even tho it's still not meta (stacking DHs, DDs or slbs is more efficient on most power bosses). The boons you get in raids is another issue. But if an experienced raid squad, having perma alac, quickness, 25 might and 10 condis on boss is totally realistic. Doesnt mean you will get 35k+ on each raid boss ofc tho

J't'ai mis un pouce bleu

@@vaellxju T'as vu j'ai bien appris ma leçon hein :D

@@oofskye6019 ahahah très bien, t'as dépassé le maître ! J'suis content de t'avoir donné goût à la classe :)

Am working on it, it just takes more time than I expected. Will be ready soon !
