I'll have to take a look at this a little further. Been running a one bar sorc heavy attack build for a while. Looooove it. But, mine is with 2 pets. Would be nice to be able to do it without!
I like the splash damage on curse. Plus it’s a magicka skill. But resource consumption is so low with these heavy attack builds that I can see crystal weapon working fine.
@@esovault270 and how about when soloing and not taking the other boon keeping the thief and slotting force of nature CP for extra pen? would that work better than keeping the build's CP slotables and switch the boon instead?
I’d like to try force of nature on some other builds I can think of but not this one. I’d want a build that really had some serious status effect damage going on
@@mikeode1020 Lets do some math then. Let say a fully charged heavy is 30,000 a base crit would be 45,000. 7% of 30,000 is 2,100 so 32,100. Plus the base crit again it now be 48,150, not counting the backstabber passive, thats another 10% damage; now that your follower is a tank and you can position yourself behind what you are heavy attacking solo. Which would now be 51,360. So.. yea my bad, I said 7% but it was more like 17% to be more specific
Also wanted to ask, have you tried it with flame glyph on your weapon? The effect procs and crits for 20-30k with my build. The damage seems insane. I may have to reconstruct another staff with a shock glyph and do a comparison...
The shock glyph is needed to proc the concussed status effect which is going to cause off balance. Of course there’s elemental susceptibility but in trash/multiple target scenarios that obviously doesn’t work well. I want to be sure I’m proccing off balance on the target I’m aiming at.
If you’re always going to be solo you can take the lover Mundus if you want. Just don’t be looking for an earth shattering difference. Don’t forget I have a source of major breach with elemental susceptibility.

I like it both ways. Pets, no pets, one bar, two bars, I like variety!
You just earned one new follower😀
Thanks for watching! Welcome aboard!
Replace the curse with crystal weapon. 2 procs of curse =3 procs of crystal wep. Plus the class buff.

No hardened ward? With update 41 it grants a heal.
If I wanted to go really defensive I would spam that instead of curse.
@@esovault270 cool thanks 😊
Been using that build for some time but with different skills.
Hey mate, I wonder how this will go with the CP Slotable Exploiter, since you're proccing off-balance the whole time?
I’m not an exploiter fan. Some people swear by it. Off balance can only be up a third of the time so that really waters down exploiter.

@@esovault270 thank you for your help, I liked the video Sorc is my fav class, I can't wait for U41 release to see if the buff is huge or meh
It's neither huge nor meh, somewhere in between I'd say.@@ThrashersShogun
Really missing out on that 7% more heavy attack damage with the bastion skill.
I'm not sure if 7% is really that much of a loss. 🤔

@@shinobi197 Ok. Well, that 17% sounds more significant. 7% just sounded almost negligible.
Took me a while to figure out you meant “Bastian”. Isn’t his heavy attack buff +15% ?
@@esovault270 yea my bad, I was half asleep when I wrote it, it is 15%

Spell penetration only 700? Aint that a way too less especially as a solo player?

Sorry so 42k is how much on the 21mil dummy at this moment my own build hitting 85k and no pet build 80k
I have no idea
Your the best
