you could run spirit bomb and use it when you stagger him.

[@hurtstosmile]

Gz

[@SilvvSidd]

Any tips on fighting him? Also an EF soul fist:)

[@Flamingotheworld]

well, I can only give a general tip 'cause I feel like any class would have a hard time fighting this boss also. just have patience, a lot of it.

[@Flamingotheworld]

also, replace crippling barrier w/ lightning palm instead if you're using the same skill set as I am

[@SilvvSidd]

@@Flamingotheworld appreciate you man!

[@justinwang3036]

@Flamingo I did some tests and Crippling barrier actually is extremely high dps, (second theoretically at full charge only to max range energy bullet spam) esp compared to lightning palm. I know some Energy Overflow builds run it. Any thoughts?

[@Flamingotheworld]

I think it comes down to preference which dps skill you wanna use tbh, 'cause I've also seen some RS players use tempest blast instead of crip barrier or lightning palm. Why I used crip barrier in this video was 'cause I just transitioned from playing EO to RS so I was still trying to test out different skills and I found that I'm more comfortable using lightning palm when playing RS now and crip barrier when playing EO.

[@TheRoadDogII]

hey. wich set do u use? crit chance or crit dmg ?

[@Flamingotheworld]

crit chance(preordained)

[@TheRoadDogII]

Robust spirit w/o awakening 3 engraving and spirit bomb seems kinda weak, but I guess running spirit bomb vs velganos solo is copium xd

[@GiftsTrix]

You never run awakening 3. If anything you run Awakening 1 but that isn't even common.

[@daviddiaz3771]

@@GiftsTrix I just checked loawa and you are right, nobody in the higher ilvls plays awakening eng, I thought running awakening and spirit bomb was the main purpose of that robust spirit build, so to make the most out of the spec stat, but it seems it isn't, you only stack as much spec as possible to minimize the determination downtime and deal your dps in small windows instead of longer lower dps windows as with EF. Kinda thinking of rerolling my soulfist alt inot a lancemaster after learning this xd No spirit bomb no fun

[@Flamingotheworld]

well, I only use kamehameha for this particular fight. I still use spirit bomb on night fox yoho, argos, abyssal dungeons etc. You could get off 1-2 spirit bombs on yoho, 2-3 on argos per phase, and once per abyssal dungeon boss and that's w/o awakening 1 or 3. Even then when I was still playing EO build at T2 and T3 pre-1370 , I still use spirit bomb.

@@daviddiaz3771 As OP pointed out you still run spirit bomb the vast majority of the time. The big strength of World Decimation is that it does obscene damage and you get a lot more value out of the awakening by maxing out the damage of it instead of increasing the frequency. Your engravings multiply its damage (Robust Spirit, Grudge, Keen Blunt) and give you the crit you're lacking (Adrenaline, Precise Dagger). Awakening just adds another use which is good, but not at the cost of the rest. 10+10=20, adding an extra awakening adds damage. 10x10=100, multiplying the damage just gives you more value.
Specialization is stacked to help remove downtime on Hype, yes, but not only for that. Specialization just does absolutely everything. It reduces time to recharge for more frequent burst windows (additive), it increases the damage bonus of hype (multiplicative) and it also lowers your ability cooldowns in hype (multiplication). It's an all in one stat that scales incredibly hard. Even when spirit bomb is on cooldown you're a God in Hype with Robust Spirit, delivering numbers other classes dream of.
