It also grants me berserk which is another boost to damage since I use lunging strike. I don’t use crit elixir if Im not fighting uber lilith.Īlso, its always a good idea to basic attack before hota to perk up the DR from basic attack and edgemaster/limitless rage. I dropped 15% vuln damage from arsenal pasive and took 2h sword expertise instead. If they made Steel Grasp weapon assignable then Mortal Draw becomes much more attractive. berzerk ripping or expectant in an offense slot and drink the elixir, while not needing Bloodfeeder and Mortal Draw. My guess is you could get most of the benefits by just putting in Smiting vs. I for sure agree that the best elixir to drink for NMD80+ is the crit chance elixir - you will need the DPS more than 900 armor assuming you are running disobedience somewhere. Smiting can def help against single target in high NMD…if you have +450% crit dmg then an extra 20% crit chance is like adding 110% crit dmg but what are you dropping instead? And in that case Mortal Draw does very little bonus for you. Mortal Draw is more of a question mark - you have to do a basic before HOTA (can’t serially fire off HOTA) to get the benefits so you are diluting your DPS. I think you could drop bloodfeeder - it’s not doing much for you and you give up a lot for it. For injured enemies you can add the Smiting aspect bonus (up to 20%) to get to basically 100%, but in that case the Mortal Draw is doing nothing for you.

If you don’t drink the elixir (because you may prefer 900 armor from Iron Skin elixir) it’s more like ~65-70% effective crit rate. So you are maybe around ~80-90% effective crit rate assuming you do a basic before HOTA.

Remember the 18% from Mortal Draw is applied if you don’t get a crit the regular way in your case it would be 18% x ~70-75%= ~13%. Let’s see - you can get to ~40-45% crit chance with gear and dex, +9% from No Mercy, +5% from bloodfeeder, +15% from elixir, plus a separate roll at 18% from Mortal Draw.

Tell me why tell me why berserk
