of course, it makes the pre-event super easy allowing you to be even more bored during it :)

Yeah, I forgot to show it in the video but its just the default power food, so Cilantro Lime Sous-Vide Steak + Superior Sharpening Stones

@@alarishct thank you

You want as much uptime on the +10% crit chance from air orb.

Yeah this has always been the case, its why in the rotation we always drop two spheres at once.

@@alarishct k ty, then i just was stupid:D

Around 1-2k dps loss, though it should be the first thing you drop if you want to take more utility.

If you're not keeping up quickness then you're simply too slow. You should be swapping back to fire for the next loop when there's ~2s left on relentless fire's cooldown (or 4s if fgs is up). The first loop is hard to upkeep quickness no matter how much boon duration you have as you only use three spheres in the first loop. However after that it should get pretty comfy to maintain quickness if you're running that much bd. If you'd like more help you can post a golem log in the SC Helpdesk discord and someone can give more detailed advice.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, as it does give quickness at the start of the fight and the video shows this? If you're talking about the glyph, you cast it before the fight starts, and then you start as soon as the boonstrip happens with using the firesphere to give quickness.

@@alarishct Oh my lord, didn't realize all the spheres gave quickness now. My bad

tl;dr I'm getting another fire aura when I water4, so for the first loop auras: 2 fire, 1 air, 1 water, 1 earth = 5 stacks. Getting the 5th stack compared to just 4 is an extra ~4000 damage ish (or 43dps), so it's completely irrelevant. Any difference compared to the bench comes from elsewhere in the rotation. --------------- When you leap in a fire field, you gain a fire aura. So when I use water4 at 0:20, I leap in the fire sphere which is still on the floor, and gain a fire aura from leaping in the fire field, and a frost aura from elemental epitome, so I end up at 4stacks in water. The timing for this is very tight with the default rotation, around ~0.25s if you delay the first fire sphere like I do in the 43.3k log in the description, or the two below. ~0.05s if you use the fire sphere at the same time as the relentless fire, like the video. To be fast enough to get the second fire aura you need to be aftercast cancelling the air2 as soon as possible after all the hits land. This occurs at ~2080ms so thats what you should be aiming for. (Both logs using delayed fire sphere. Would be tighter otherwise) Fire sphere lasts 5s, so you need to use the water4 within 5s from the cast. Fire sphere at 0.368s, Air2 for 2080ms, water4 at 5.28s, gets the 5th aura. (Can check both in Player Summary -> Graph, and checking Empowering Auras) dps.report/c5Wu-20230718-144451_golem Fire sphere at 0.32s, Air 2 for 2288ms, water4 at 5.488s, only gets 4 auras. dps.report/lFoa-20230718-144613_golem Theoretically, you could use water4 before shattering ice to gain an extra 0.25s window, however I found having to do shattering ice -> water5 -> water2 harder than just getting the timing right, and in an actual fight dropping quickness at all in the opener will cause you to probably miss it no matter the order. *HOWEVER* Actually getting the extra aura is negligible, as the 3% dmg loss over the 7s that you wont have it causes only around 4000 less damage than if you had it, since you are in the lowest dps part of the rotation where you will miss it. In the context of the bench, this is 43dps. An equivalent dps increase would be getting 1 more hit of lightning glyph. I would not worry in any way about whether you get the fifth stack or not.

You can still use Cody's old rotation and build which uses arcane and did 33.8k dps.

@@alarishct thanks appreciate!

Just dodge

man dont replace hammer with staff, staff is one of the lowest dps weapons

lmao you replace everything in the build and you are asking why your damage is so low? lmao hope you are trolling

sounds like a severe case of skill issue

@@Xthasys it's such an obvious troll like cmon lol

​@@Xthasysno he's dead serious man

Fire 131, Air 331, Catalyst 233. I've added a build link to the description too.
