That’s shield because so usless in an alert if the healer is not water because any other power would override that shield making your dmg average unless you time with when the healers shield disappears 🤟🏽 just a tip
@@judgingyourgameplay5920 are you talking about running bubble as dps? You will still get the extra 3 ticks regardless of what the healer does. Sure the shield portion can be overridden but its much weaker in dps stance anyways
Obsidian, I need your help. I have questions about the single target. I use some diff powers with that ST loadout but I need heals/might to be equally as powerful. Any tips? Reallocating sp and arts helps but it’s not enough for me.
@@ogkorra3744 Hey, what do you mean by heals/might to be equal? are you referring to heals on your dps loadout? if you are trying for a survivability build just run bubble on ST
@@ObsidianChill u replied!!😭 I do run bubble! ALWAYS idk how u survive without it?! I have maybe a quarter of the health u have and it’s always saving me. But really I’m looking for a kind of ‘battle heal’ type of build. I can do dmg easy and co-TANK if need be But pvp is PISSING ME OFF and I know it’s just minor things. Ur Single target build with bubble and mending wave if that gives u an idea I did get rid of grim long ago but have to rebuild it now. There’s just so much to look into idk where to start anymore. Just kinda cleaning out the attic tbh
Finally! I have been waiting for an updated in-depth Water! Keep up the great work OC! Edit: I always watch all of it Just wanted to Comment real quick
@ObsidianChillDCUO Ty for the video. I just wondered if everything for dps nature is the same from your video a year ago. Your content is always helpful and much appreciated.
@@ObsidianChill I feel like that makes sense. I always figured content creators would lean towards important/support roles since you're supporting the whole community with your builds. If I could make a small suggestion, It might be nice to have a quick side note about which build (melee/range/etc) would work best for gearing up/low artifact levels. Thanks for all the content and guidance!
For ranged AoE, have you tried drown? I use Depth Charge, Drown, Shark, Heat Vision, and RBK with a 1,2,3,1,4 rotation and I’m hitting consistent 1.3’s with lower might than your video while also gaining more SC back with drown.
I did try drown, I found it was more redundant in friend list runs or even pugs with the amount of gem spam I had. Now with heat vision I don't like to use that for range after it was nerfed because when you parse with it you get the perfect explosion proc and perfect burning dots setup because they are all together and tick for the full duration. In content HV you'll miss the proc dmg because adds move or the tank pulls them then you don't have the dots setup. Similar to nature its something that looks way better on sparring targets than in actual practice unless the tank is perfectly gathering all the adds up and you are using HV just as the tank does that etc.
@@ObsidianChill Interesting. In pugs I have no issue with HV since I wait to use it at the end of the rotation, which at that point the tank has usually grouped up the ads. My damage stays relatively consistent in content. I guess it all comes down to personal preference on what we can make work for us. Either way, great video.
Im debating if its smarter to go the route of dps or healer as I start out with water,, eventually I will have an armory for both, whats your opinion on which route is best to begin with ,, for a new player
Water healing is also pretty easy to work with. Just use one of these DPS builds for soloing content. I am pretty new as well. Heat Ray and Torrent is fun melting things. But it can be dangerous getting spell locked. Not being able to move in time sometimes and get caught in bad stuff, lol. However, I have been top damage in many alerts, if there is already a healer. Mainly on boss fights though. May need an armory for 2 DPS builds. But I only use 1 healing build. Not a fan of trying to change stuff while doing an alert and people rushing.
I’m left to believe arts are vital… I like to think I run strong loadouts… a lot are yours but I’m still constantly out DPS… the only thing I can think is my arts are in the range of 100-120… I left the game right when arts were introduced and came back about 3 months ago.., so is it safe to say, if I’m running the same load out as you and the only difference is the level of my arts, is that why I’m being beaten almost everytime? Do arts really rule over SP and rotations?
they unfortunately do. Not that they are all required at 200, some are better than others but 160s will be the minimum to DPS with alot of them. The difference between a 120 and 200 is giant in alot of cases not only from base stats but abilities as well.
I wouldn't change anything from my previous Celestial guide, nothing has changed with celestial powers in well over a year ua-cam.com/video/5HhAkU2nH3c/v-deo.html
I can see that prec players need to spec might for damage after prec but for might players I couldn’t count how many times over the years that I’ve had player last die to something I survive because of the health. It’s also not as smart but if I know I can survive something without blocking it allows me to continue dpsing where others have to stop and block
@@ObsidianChill yeah, something I trying to tell the new players I help is that you cannot put up top numbers when ko-ed or picking others up, so do not be the one that needs a pick up
anything done in 2021 is up to date, nothing has changed really with powers in the past couple of years, just other aspects like gear/artifacts/skill points/allies
you can, I personally don't like to run HV on ranged after the nerf because you miss alot of damage unless things are set up perfect. But if you had to use the art 160 is fine and can still work with ranged
@@ObsidianChill how much damage would I miss tho cuz my original idea was having 3 dots at once (aqualance, hv, strategist) and I figured that if anything I’d get more damage out of it.
@@skazure7768 if the tank groups up the ads or if its a raid with hallways etc then you wouldn't miss much at all and you'd do just fine with that. It depends on the content. Say like Fos2 1st room the adds are all over and jump around hard to hit everything. Then like a hallways in Inner Sanctum and its a tighter group all together etc
Or would you rather be dead lmao 😂 believe or not most of these players think dying make them good naw bro you just a slice of butter and I mean mostly all dps and healers die in two hits not even on elite Damage is important but staying alive longer is important also

Thank you very much for this! I appreciate the work and effort you put into these guides. Always look forward to your insight. Great stuff ✌
Switched from rage to water about a month ago and been struggling because I didn’t have a good loadout thanks
I feel u so hard this video helpet me alot too 👌

Thanks, glad I could help out
Omg omg omg I've been waiting for this THANK YOUUUUUU!
thank you for the guide :) the dps will always change ! :D but healing always the same !
Sorry I ever doubted you 💪🏽‼️ty again
@ObsidianChillDCUO Ty for the video. I just wondered if everything for dps nature is the same from your video a year ago.
Your content is always helpful and much appreciated.
I'm curious, what do you run for fun when you aren't theorycrafting? Which power set still gives you that warm fuzzy feeling deep in your plums?
Ha, almost no time off I have to go from power to power for people and content. If I took a vaca I would stay tank and prob be fire or ice
@@ObsidianChill I feel like that makes sense. I always figured content creators would lean towards important/support roles since you're supporting the whole community with your builds.

@@savii8629 personally I don't normally use ranged based loadouts anyways I will melee 99% of the time unless the raid physically doesn't let me melee
Came back from like a 5 year break and I'm completely lost🤦🏻♂️
Waiting for Celestial and Sorcery guide, my 2 favourite powers ❤️
Nature next plz
Are munitions and quantum going to be getting an update or has nothing changed from your old videos?
Awwwwesome work bro
Im debating if its smarter to go the route of dps or healer as I start out with water,, eventually I will have an armory for both, whats your opinion on which route is best to begin with ,, for a new player
water dps is ok not great but water healing is top tier so if you prefer healing Water is really well rounded

What was that you were using during the Dehydrate Ability Breakdown that made all your supercharges jump up to full?
It is a trinket on test server that allows you to fully restore your supercharge and reset the cooldown
@@ObsidianChill ohh I see so it's not for use outside of test server
I’m left to believe arts are vital… I like to think I run strong loadouts… a lot are yours but I’m still constantly out DPS… the only thing I can think is my arts are in the range of 100-120… I left the game right when arts were introduced and came back about 3 months ago.., so is it safe to say, if I’m running the same load out as you and the only difference is the level of my arts, is that why I’m being beaten almost everytime?

Did you ever know about the water open world pvp one shot and if they patched it or not
Hey I'm a returning player haven't played in about 3 years. Do you plan to cover celestial dps anytime soon? it's. my favourite power
I wouldn't change anything from my previous Celestial guide, nothing has changed with celestial powers in well over a year ua-cam.com/video/5HhAkU2nH3c/v-deo.html
@@ObsidianChill ok thanks I'll check it out
Speccing into Prec not health as secondary is really just glass cannon builds, and glass cannons make raids fail
I can see that prec players need to spec might for damage after prec but for might players I couldn’t count how many times over the years that I’ve had player last die to something I survive because of the health.

Hi just started the game and was curious if your guides for all the powers were still up to date?
anything done in 2021 is up to date, nothing has changed really with powers in the past couple of years, just other aspects like gear/artifacts/skill points/allies
@@ObsidianChill Cool thank you very much.
Great video, what material is that you're using at 1:22?
Source chroma I think from bop
The Zeus source chroma from survival mode season 2
Oh that's zeus chroma that's pretty bad considering I have it my bad it looked black to me not blue so
@@PlushiePengu it appears some styles make it look black over the blue. If I eqiup other styles it looks blue
Thanks guys
How do you refill your super to 100% while training?
Waiting for a munition update
I have work in 6 hours WHY OBSIDIAN -_-
Also, good morning 😌
Good morning, I’m at work right now :)
Make a nature dps please
Good Lord that 1st shot of the base almost gave me a seizure.
yea the splash pack base items are aggressive
I need to hire you to get me some skill points 🤣🤣
U think with range lo I could run heat vision with the art at 160 and would still be effective?
you can, I personally don't like to run HV on ranged after the nerf because you miss alot of damage unless things are set up perfect. But if you had to use the art 160 is fine and can still work with ranged

Hello Might Ranged Loadout still works? i just came back
muni or gadgets next plz
thinking of changing from electric celestial or water
Can i use this rn or is it not viable
Ebb is like the name Ed but with B's =)
Can I see the dehydrated clip?
In raids im top dps but my power drain is insane as prec aoe
Can you do a DoT water build
Gotta better single target that can be helpful
I don't understand how dehybrate works
dehydrate uses all the current supercharge you have and deals damage on single target. The more supercharge used the more potential for higher damage.
@@ObsidianChill ty,it's like this power is a Supercharge, you use it when you have some Supercharge charge basically
Is water any good for DPS what are the top dps powers at the moment ?
Gadgets, Munitions, Electricity imo. Water is on the weaker side
Logged hour into playstation version. Now I have a switch and I'm debating downloading it after 8 years of not playing it
Water is rlly a good dps ?
I wouldn’t say so, it’s interesting dps but would place it just in the middle of the pack
@@ObsidianChill ohhh gotcha. And how about gadgets with might?
@@danielbayona8249 gadgets is top tier, prec or might so you would be safe going gadgets, as long as you are superspeed movement.
