[@SaviorPrime2024]

No ranged multi target rotations for celestial?

[@ObsidianChill]

Savior Prime the only thing that changes with range is you just use retribution instead of wotp and acb but celestial range is not good considering everything is midrange

[@DargorV]

W/e happened to keeping high precision and comboing benediction to heal while you're dpsing? That used to be the most fun thing about celestial and it was a nice dps gain for the group

[@jamesparrish3673]

You do a lot of in depth guides and I wanted to asking you personally what is your opinion as the best DPS/Healer Power. I'm not looking for the highest DPS numbers but I want something strong for Solo/Duo content with a good heal for Alert/Raid.

[@TheIceSayber]

URGENT NOTES. First off I love your vids and think you do a great job explaining this power because not many do for celestial heals. I have a few things that I think are very very important for the healing role. The power in itself is a preference but you missed a few powers in your testing. For instance... Powers Curse is 10% stronger than renew before orb, Blight is stronger the divine light, plague is just as strong but slightly weaker with heal over time and my personal favorite wrath of the presence. In terms of back up healing and 4 man instances the basic load out totally works but I think that in later content the speed of healing won't be there especially for burst damage or constant chip damage. I'd been playing a long time and no one uses these powers to their fault. Truth be told I love the power and just want to show people the abilities not mentioned in the tool tip. Endulge me and try these load outs. The general idea is to have a 6 sec blanket of strong healing with large bursts to fill up and maintain. While limiting the cost and time to refresh before 6 sec up Raid: consume soul, Renew, virtuous light, wrath of presence choice of sacrifice of blessing, plague. *Wrath into soul into choices plague repeat or shield, virtuous(oh snap) Instance: Renew, plague, wrath of presence, admonish, blessing, sacrifice. If can wrath into admonish (6sec duration) Into plague 3sec cast or shield. This one can handle raids but it's goal is to shield all the time or just if low on power as sacrifice also has a burst heal equal to a plague heal with strong hots close to admonish strength. Blight could be used in place of plague but the results are about the same. All not in tool tip are extremely useful except cures which I'd just use for fun since the heal over time doesn't hit anyone else. Thanks for your video man. Celestial needed it

[@winstonbrown75]

Can u do an update to this power..

[@MrBenjaminteh]

OMGOMGOMG I SWEAR I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS EXACT VIDEO A DAY AGO THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!

[@michaelj7614]

Once you complete your role series guides, I think it would be of great benefit to the community, if you were to do all elite content guides. Give breakdowns of the mechanics of each boss, things to watch out for, how to avoid/prevent it. Show examples of when the mechanic is out and explain what to do. Just my thoughts, since i don't see any guides for that currently.

[@Ecool27]

Michael J I do some of that on my channel

[@ObsidianChill]

I know the DPS footage could have been better quality in terms of rotations and speed, celestial is just not one of my personally preferred powersets so while the rotation examples might show a lack of skill the actual potential of the rotations and loadouts included in the guide are still top percentile so your results can only be better than mine based on how practiced you are with celestial. See you in the tank guides

[@Drop_The_Mic]

would u say demon's fang/eye of gemini and orb are good choice for elec healing?

[@mikepaper1496]

You gonna do any rage videos?

[@TheDeanmatthew]

How do u have so much.......MONEYYY!

[@ObsidianChill]

Drop The Mic I would say so yes, with electric being spammy you ideally need either demon fang or omega for some extra regen. Demon fang also is good resto

[@C_KrNn]

Orb isn't really the best choice for elec as makes your priority heal more power hungry. The elec healers I know tend to use the omegahedron for the power regen. If not the omega, either the Starheart or even the soul cloak for the boost in SC

[@E_Clip]

Coming back to the game after a 6 months break, I learned something new: Crit Anoint is actually a good mod. I've been neglecting it thinking its better suited for precision builds, but it turns out its good for might ST rotations too. It adds slightly more damage to my rotation, which is a bit different than yours but it still revolves around PcDL, DLcP, CScWotP and Heat Vision for long range if its needed. As for AOE, I used to run your rotation before taking the break, however I've been testing other stuff out and I can safely say, there's a better one: PcDL, BcA, AcB, rinse repeat. With my 35K base might I do 33-38k parses, I imaging with 39k might that you have you'll probably spike up to 40k, perhaps even more. If only the sparing targets don't get knocked down and pushed around by the AcB/BcA combos, I think it can go even higher. Would you mind testing this with your stats if you are still Celestial and have a few minutes of your time? You'll just have to find a good position to try and hit as many dummies as you can with Admonish because Blight and cBlight knock them down ... Great video as always, cheers.

[@SinfulAeon]

I have the same loadout as you, but I tried obsidians and I found his was better. :l

[@E_Clip]

@@SinfulAeon Interesting. In my case I cant get Chill's rotation to perform better , not on sparing targets and not in content, but only in the latest raids because adds dont die so quickly. In lower content, rotations with WotP are better sure, but only because it has a better front loaded burst, unlike BcA and AcB that have a bit of a wind up time. WotP is also infinitely better on duos and alerts, but I never use that type of content as a yardstick for DPS rotations. Also Admonish is very position sensitive because of its narrow cone of hitting the enemies, so that most likely plays a role in having lower parses if you don't position well. Here for instance a full parse of CoT normal LB fight and my stats on the side, which are quite lower than his stats. I have no league buffs, no soda or CO buffs either. Normally I get 33-38k, the higher ones are from Supply and/or NVM buffs, the lower ones are due to avoiding mechanics like Murk charging etc. imgur.com/pisNuRG Chill's rotation while a very good one, produces slightly lower numbers in my case, in the range of 28-35K and its way more crit dependent, Im guessing its because its more burst heavy rather than a combination of burst and AOE dots that come from Blight and cBlight. But anyways, if it works for you that's great and stick to it, you can't go wrong using any of his rotations, cheers.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@E_Clip you wouldn't know it from some of the other comments :D But yea usually my methodology to creating a rotation is to base it around the potential of it because when you are just parsing and using 10's or 30's etc that doesn't give you the full picture of a 25-35min raid etc where you have much more npc encounters. So I try to find rotations that while they may fluctuate in consistency when you have a good parse/crits it really does well. It didn't show in the video but I had crit spikes to 41-42k with my rotation and over the course of a raid its more likely to have the good crits. There is certainly something to be said in regard to something you know will do well each time and is consistent and you know that the damage will always be there and it could still crit but even if it didn't you are still doing well always. It's just not my personal philosophy with dps while I do understand these guides are supposed to be generic and not suited to 1 particular playstyle I still inherently find myself gravitating to what im used to.

[@E_Clip]

@@ObsidianChill Nut sure I understand your first sentence :D Yeah 10 second parses are rubbish and can be very misleading, unless you can do like 30 x 10 sec parses in a row with a troller, but even then you get half the picture as you said. 30sec are better but the best is to video record raid runs with combat tab on and then analyze the video, as well as analyze it with Shiny's dps parser. Pretty much what you do and what all other competent DPS players do. Anyways, in all my analysis in the last 4 weeks since I've been back 50+ runs in the latest normal and elite content, all data points to AcB/BcA being ~10% better in raids than WotP. In the overall damage that would be like 3% more dmg, which isnt too much, but I always min-max so if my data says that, I'll use it. Now there's always the chance I might be wrong and/or misinterpreting the data... but I really doubt it simply because its a very large sample size and every run points to the same conclusion. I've said this many times and I'll say it again, I appreciate your content because its data driven and devoid of personal preferences and opinions, as it should be. I realize this guide probably took you more time than others due to how celestial works and because its not as straight forward to analyze as other powersets. Clearly you're not very comfortable with it yet because you can tighten those clips so much better, no offense. I mean you said the same thing yourself in the video, it takes time to get comfy with the combos. If you figured all of this out in a just a few days, hats off to you. I've been Cele since the 1st day it came out and yet you produced slightly better ST rotation than me., so go you :D I might disagree with the AOE rotation a little bit, but overall, this is a great video for every Celestial player, new or experienced ones. It hits the nail on the head in every aspect, Heal, ST or AOE dps. Cheers.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@E_Clip The first sentence was in reference to some of the other comments in this video, I know going into it how protective the celestial community is about their powerset

[@Triforce_hero]

After watching it has help my celestial healing improve by alot, keep up the great work

[@astuteignorance5733]

Rage guide incoming 😏 And bout time you did celestial haha. But I know combo powers aren't really your thing, so thanks a ton!

[@ObsidianChill]

Introspect yea I’m used to doing 6-7 hard light combos in the span it takes to do 1 PcDL combo lol so I’m just wired differently where the new combo powers like atomic, AM light and celestial are just slow and methodical which works for some people but to me it’s like nails on a chalkboard haha

[@ObsidianChill]

Introspect even though rage is a combo power it’s much more manageable

[@anthraxfan93]

Thanks for this; As someone who has been Celestial since power launch, nice work. question 1)In both the AOE and Single Loadouts, you never hit Neo_Venom, while testing. I don't know enough about it, but why is it in the loadout if not part of the rotation? Side Note, Since Stats Revamp Battle Healing is useless and made the healing side kind of boring. You have my exact healer loadout for boss battles; for adds I throw a guardian's light in place of Sacrifice.

[@ObsidianChill]

anthraxfan93 neo is just there for a supercharge, you don’t test using a supercharge but you still need one for dmg and for your eye of the Gemini. Neo does more dmg than cursed idol and life drain so if you don’t want to use a 2500 movement mode sc to really proc the EoG you go with neo which is the default option

[@connorwords5907]

Please do an updated guide on celestial, I love your vids and they help so much!!

[@mrmikeyomann]

You can face away or turn around before using Sacrifice making sure you're not target locked and it won't taunt

[@mrmikeyomann]

how is this not commented on yet?

[@ObsidianChill]

Michael L in today’s content even without doing that the chances of you dying from the taunt effect are completely minimal, tanks are constantly overwriting taunts. The only possible situation where this may be a concern is if the tank is dead and you had to shield the group to get the pickup but even then you can still save blessing for yourself in that situation. Also in the situation of the tank being down adds may have scattered to the dps so it may take longer to actually make sure you don’t have a target or are back turned to any add where you should be popping it regardless as soon as the tank is down if the controller can’t get the Rez or whatever other situation comes to rise

[@mrmikeyomann]

@@ObsidianChill still tho, this is pro strat I've used many times for many situations.

[@ObsidianChill]

Ty fr new guide , amaizing job

[@suuhhh3852]

Hey chill, great guide yet again ^^ I was wondering if the power efficiency chest mod was better than the other one... I forgot the name. Reserved Tank I believe. One reduces the power costs by 5% and the other gives you 5% extra power. So I don't really understand the difference.

[@ObsidianChill]

Power efficiency is always better in that case. Reserve tank just gives you a flat increase in power pool but the power costs remain all the same where power efficiency changes the power cost of each ability used. For controllers and healers it’s especially helpful because of how spammy we can become with our powers. The mods are closer if you are super powered spec as your power regen is based on your max overall power pool but for hybrid power efficiency is the clear cut favorite. It’s not a night and day difference but over time you will see the change and the actual math supports it as well someone did the actual calculations

[@Tru3Gamb1t]

Awesome video mate. Helped my healing loadout alot. And I can tell you're not the best combing with Celestial combos lol. Again awesome video again. And I watched all but 1 video of yours and that's earth but I don't use earth but might watch just for kicks mate. Would you be willing to make a update video brother

[@ObsidianChill]

I will be making a celestial video after I am completed the Sorcery one

[@mom1ish]

Obsidian I love all of your content. Just a quick question about the artifacts that should be used for healing. I'm a nature healer using your guide. Right now my artifacts are Starheart, Omegahedron, and Orb. I'm wondering should I switch off Omega for the Demon's Fang. It has better healing stats I'm just not sure if it's better for power back. Also if I switch to a healing power with a supercharge I pretty much always want Fang, Cloak, and Gemini correct?

[@ObsidianChill]

Monkey D. Luffy if you have a 160 gemini nature can be good with bug form just to proc the sc regen it doesn’t help your healing just the group (if you want to do this) I would go for the demon fang it has good base stats and the power regen I found sufficient. I never had the omega leveled and had the demon fang at 120 while using the orb and I never ran into an issue with power.

[@nicojayblaze8687]

just wondering, what costume pieces are you wearing in this? It looks really cool.

[@mzsym5075]

Is celestial one of the best powers????

[@roman260590]

Can I use flying or skimming and still be able to do the healing rotations?

[@Ludoki]

If you use the supercharge in your healer build, you have to assume that the tank in an operation is a good one

[@Met-cx9uj]

Melee rotation is Plague into DL. Then you spam CS and Clip into WoTP and instead of robot sidekick you can use deathmark on adds if you feel comfortable being close range, you can throw out CS and put in Blessing to combo with deathmark. For SC nothing is better than speed drain for DPS. Celest is best on single target with no supercharge in the loadout but will always fall behind versus a mediocre powerset with a good supercharge.

[@ObsidianChill]

That is incorrect for the melee rotation, you are losing alot of damage using CScWoTP for aoe. CScWoTP has pretty much the same overall damage as AcB unless the WoTP crits. The setup time on deathmark is not worth it compared to the constant damage of robot sidekick where the delayed blessing explosion could miss adds completely or when they are near death. If the player has EoG at 160 then yes speed drain will be the best supercharge to use but I can't assume everyone watching will want to go that route and im hoping it gets patched anyways so then neo would remain the better overall option plus for players that aren't superspeed movement.

[@Met-cx9uj]

ObsidianChillDCUO ObsidianChillDCUO I can clip cs into wotp twice and hit everything around me mid range and not just in front of me especially on adds with more health and tank pulling all over the place. On adds that melt quickly, I could see admonish being better for a quicker burst but I usually time my deathmark and use it like twice and on adds with more health, first time it explodes by itself, a second time I force it to explode by using regular blessing to get purple shield to explode immediately. Typically, it’s me running behind a tank to get my plague/dl, cs/wotp(add health dependent) then I’d time deathmark so I get the explosion without using blessing and then again with the use of blessing hence it explodes immediately a second time. To finish off the adds with a little health left I’m obviously not going to do cs combo into wotp. I’ll just go into another divine light or wotp with or without combo. I’m using blessing shield in dps loadout so I could get those juicy 70k burst crits from deathmark exploding immediately and when I need it to. My last explosion from deathmark clipped with blessing is what kills the adds while everybody else is stuck in rotation but then again, I’m pretty experienced with celest and know where to use what and how long the adds will last too in different instances.

The man clearly said he haven't played celestial in a long time and decided to put out a guide to help people. While it may not be the best it's still a "guide" to help newer players with this power so they can build from it. I'm sure he's open to suggestions from people that are more experienced if what you're saying is valid and can be proven.

[@alphaomega5917]

I really hope to hear back from you but I need help with this. Why is the grim not a good artifact to use? Couldn't you use grim to bless so you can do more corrupted damage? And if you used grim what would you replace?

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

I run this loadout but I use guardian light instead of SC. Artifacts are orb, demon fang and page of destiny. Plan to switch demon fang when we get double nth metal XP for omegahedron just to be able to have that increased power and regen

I'm currently CR279 W/437SP as heal. In your honest opinion do you think celestial has the potential to be a solo healer in the right hands?

When I heal I wouldn't use a supercharge and take out guardians light (its the best healing move in game) but if I had to I would use cursed idol and take out consume souls but then you'd have to use admonish a lot more for the burst heal and overtime as well. Also in the DPS combo I would strongly use the plague combo and then clip it with divine light because it would take less time than the way chill has done it.

[@ObsidianChill]

Kian Bowen if you are going to use the eye of the Gemini artifact which is the strongest artifact in the game for heals and tanks in the new meta you will have to run sacrifice to take advantage of it. In terms of PcDL-DL or DL-PcDL it really didn’t seem to have a noticeable impact on the parsers but then at least then you are getting the pi dmg on AcB and on PcDL which can be more beneficial instead of using the pi afterwords where you can go straight from PcDL into WoTP

[@kianbowen3360]

@@ObsidianChill Just had a quick look at sacrifice and it seems so risky if you q for a raid solo. You'd have to be in a group with another healer just encase your team cant get you up. I would rather go cursed Idol cause to be honest I'm not living life on the fast lane you get me? Plus with DPS L/O I would also go idol because its a nice break if you haven't got a lot of power or a lot of skill points. If that makes sense. Literally cant get my point across on comments lol Also nice video man

[@ObsidianChill]

Kian Bowen the impression is if the tank dies and you pop sacrifice all the adds just jump and you and kill you cause of the “taunt” in actual practice this doesn’t happen, sure there will be situations when it could but then you also have blessing for yourself and whatever active hots you have. I’ve yet to see any of our celestial solo healers die as the direct result of sacrifice, even when we ran it in machine elite where there are plenty of adds to potentially aggro

[@kianbowen3360]

@@ObsidianChill You have got a point but you have a league that has amazing players that can tank through elite raids but just for example I did one of the Starro raids with no tank because they kept leaving and if I even dared to use sacrifice I would have been a goner lol but if I was in a league that has good players that know what they are doing at all times then I would possibly use sacrifice but its rare to see that in content when you are trying to boost your CR up.

New Celestial Dps is pretty much the same rotation, but Defile instead of Anoint (because the strategist card makes anoint clipping obsolete). Essentially Damage is the same rotation. CS(no combo) > Plague(combo) > DL(combo) > CSx2(combo) > Defile or heat vision Personally I found Heat Vision to be better, but I just don't like it as a power.

[@smoothsa420]

So you use heat vision instead of anoint? And use this still in meele range or am I getting something wrong?

[@waywardjoker6061]

@@smoothsa420 Celestial is a mid range dps purely because of corrupted Wrath of the Prescence. And honestly, Mid range isn't so bad if you know how to manage bosses and the tank is actually doing their Job. I use defile over heat vision to... 1: Save a skill point (i barely have 340 sp) 2: Celestial is based off of big hits and dot damage in between. Since Defile has about a 33% faster activation and casting animation than heat vision, I find it more to re apply those dots sooner and see those big numbers slightly more often. So in essence, even though heat vision is higher damage (with solar amplifier), Defile rotation is just more fun (especially when messing around with Larena's amulet). But heat vision has slightly better crowd damage so if that's what you're looking for, go nuts man. The difference isn't that big either. Anyway, there really is no melee loadout to celestial considering the fact that admonish really isn't necessary in most builds these days after the finisher buff. And I'm still working on a good Celestial Range that can keep up. But if you know the bosses, you should be doing top tier DPS with this loadout. That being said, I highly reccomend maxing out that Bottled City soder artifact (just for when the controller is down and you are in the middle of a rotation).

Obsidian I enjoy your videos very much you’re very thorough and knowledgeable and I’ve played with you in game you are skilled. But it annoys me so much every time you praise the orb or arion, I play all roles and powers but I am first and foremost a healer and this thing is just pos, now granted I typically am soloing most content early it’s not as bad if you have another healer with you, but there are times where I might need to hit my two man priority heal back to back, the pet is just not quick enough in elite content when shit is hitting the fan. For me it’s not the power consumption I can deal with that and run with good trolls but it’s the cooldown being tripled mostly. I maxed mine out Day one without realizing how much I wouldn’t like it and have since scrapped it. I would just urge people to try demons fang, scrap and Gemini I feel this is by far the best setup for a healer using a SC on their loadout. The little resto that is lost from not having the 5% is negligible just like the bonus lost for not speccing hybrid, I think I have over 26-27k resto in Atlantan content with my setup. Sorry to be so long winded just hoping everyone doesn’t max the orb out like I did and regret it. It’s not awful or useless but I just feel it’s not as good as someone thinks it is at first glance. Especially not for a solo healer setup.

[@ObsidianChill]

It will depend on the content as well and the players that you are soloing for, if you have a tank that isn't as good or quick on his shields or doesn't kyte than you would need the faster cooldown to account for his healing as an example but the orb at least how I used it and others in my group that run it is that the tanks are more needing it to survive a larger hit that despite their preparation couldn't handle the full damage. The perfect example of this is Murks stun after his charge cycle, sure you as a healer without the orb can sit and just spam a 0.5 heal but a player with the orb and especially if they are nature or water using the PI bonus can do it in nearly 1 move and that allows breathing room for the tank to recover his rotation. Also in the aspect of water and sorcery both of those powersets have supercharges that grant them nearly unlimited power for their duration so you can straight spam even a 1.5 second cooldown or in respect to sorcery its even less and near 0.5 seconds and it would be nearly impossible for a player to die with that amount of healing from the orb. The powercost outside of the supercharges I don't feel is that much of an issue, with the bottle city soder you have access to a unlimited soder and everyone should have that at 160 anyways and then its a 90% power recovery. You certainly make valid points surrounding the orb but there are equal counter points all depending on the raid situation and the powerset of the healer. While you are right don't jump to get it to 160, even I have it at 120 and was seeing some nice results. In the end the healer can get it to 120 and feel if they notice a difference and if they prefer it then continue to level it with nth metal. Thanks for sharing :)

I solo heal crownE with orb all the time, running with omegahedron and soul cloak. Definitely need back to back priority heals but omegahedron will help with that and if you need it a third time, I run with guardians light, that usually saves the tank, especially when murk does his skull, it'll catch their hp even if you cast it before he does it. Don't need to run empowered channeling on wrists for it either, its a complete waste since you barely get interrupted in general. I won't have a shield for myself but its usually fine, if you watch murk the entire time and roll away when he charges. Also I run with superpowered and not hybrid anymore because of orb. I got rid of demons fang, its whatever to me now..barely need to do much weapon attacks on celestial and I have another loadout for gemini to spam supercharge for people but thats about it.

[@JP-nh6id]

Christle I’m not celestial on my main and that’s the healer I was referring my main is elec, but I do have a celestial alt and I was solo healing it on my main the first week it was out without wipes, it’s all preference but I personally hate the orb, and I just don’t want people to fall on the same trap I did with it, it’s highly overrated in my opinion. Everyone has there own play style. But I don’t need a stronger priority heal when mine heals fine and if it doesn’t I can always push it twice before you push yours again, the 300% bonus for me doesn’t outweigh the cooldown even with the pet that’s all I’m saying. I just didn’t want people to keep watching these videos and think they had to play with the orb, bc you most certainly don’t.

[@SinfulAeon]

@@JP-nh6id Oh right. But yeah I don't think it's the best artifact either. I personally wouldn't mind running without it either. It's not a necessity. I feel like given the situation it's better to run without orb. Especially when solo healing content where the tank's health is constantly dropping, like hiveE, especially at the last phase. But definitely wouldn't run demons fang anymore. I'd choose omegahedron over fang any day.

[@JP-nh6id]

Christle I love demons fang and I also am able to use on my prec armory, I use my weapon quite a lot when healing as electric player which is what I base all my opinions off of, def use weapon less overall on my celestial, but fang has a resto bonus and omega doesn’t, I’m giving up a bonus for scrap already don’t want to give up another, I find the demos dang to be excellent overall for artifact.

[@nelg70]

Just to give you an idea of how good Celestial is regarding being power hungry. I solo heal cotE with no super charge. I use 4 man shield always and rotate guardians light with divine light. I also solo healed 4 man cotE without a Controller. But then again I have healed with celestial for 5 years. See.. ( apex Dcuo, channel for example) Happy healing 👍

[@Triforce_hero]

People also tell me I should being doing the renew combo on adds in the hall way, can somekne tell me what does does?

[@TheIceSayber]

For heals it's a 3 man hot for 12-15 sec

Only use if it's about to die otherwise it only lasts 10sec

Would page work instead of scrap/demon fang? :)

[@ObsidianChill]

It will yes, the artifacts in this video are outdated to what you should use now

[@DELIGHTFULMOVIES]

ObsidianChillDCUO Is there any way you could tell me what you think I should use now? I used to play the power 4 years ago and was hoping to switch back from water (mainly because I’m super bored and waters visuals are...everywhere 😂) but no one plays celestial on Switch EU other than 1 person (literally, I think people get confused with the combos) I was hoping to use other artifacts this weekend as exp for celestial ones but don’t want to make a terrible mistake 😅 It’s ok if u can’t I know you like things in guide form 😊 Thanks for replying to me regardless!

[@darthoof8485]

@@DELIGHTFULMOVIES i can help :D i am a celestial healer, the main artifacts you want is The transformation card (from thanagar episode) 2nd its The strategist card ( from the thanagar episode), and 3 The page of destiny ( also from thanagar episode) these are the main three healer artifacts almost every healer runs with but an optional artifact you can use orb of orion ( Atlantis episode) also check out obsidians recent videos on artifacts every role and power should focus on!!

[@DELIGHTFULMOVIES]

Darth Oof thanks Darth! I went with Orb, Page and Gemini! :D I was already using Orb and Gemini on my water loadout so it seems to work for me. I’m levelling the strat card just now so may add it into the mix and see what happens! :D

Do tell. I have a decent lo but its slower than slug piss.

[@verycorrupted2218]

Use the deathmark. That's some OP damage tbh

[@ObsidianChill]

deathmark is good but more for solo/duo/alert content where you would get a brief shield but the damage from death mark is delayed and the setup is quite long for the delayed damage hit so in a raid for one you are doing no dmg while you are setting up blessing and for second there is a possibility that the adds are already dead or near death for when the explosion on blessing procs and its not as much dmg.

Aidan Waite for celestial? No, it’s better than water and sorc in terms of the other heal powersets but it’s much weaker than elec and nature. Celestial is middle tier in terms of dps

[@ObsidianChill]

You can see a power in action or a loadout/rotation and have no clue what is actually going on because the player has minimal game knowledge. At that point they are simply replicating copy and paste what they see from a video and not actually understanding it which is still detrimental to a player. This is what every other guide ever in DCUO is missing because you see a 5min or 20min 1 raid where they don't talk about the power put up the loadout and boom in a raid and video is done. When other players try to describe the loadout or what is going on your can tell immediately from the language and syntax they use they don't understand the power or the game that well. The point of this guide series is to breakout the loadout and the power that I present so you have a complete background so you can actually begin to expand upon the rotation I show or just continue to adopt it but when something goes wrong they at least have an understanding about the why.
