Thanks Chill, for keeping me up on the game. My wife is sick and I had to stop playing. Then I got hurt badly so I haven't played in 2yrs but I'm coming back by X-mas. Now I won't feel as lost.

[@ObsidianChill]

great to see you back, sorry to hear about your health troubles

[@ariesrose5846]

i know the dmg is too high, but part of me wants them to keep it. This is how a LEGENDARY ally should feel imo

[@kidprince8578]

Agreed

[@kenscorner3895]

I wanna feel like a God in this game. I don’t pay out money to be a human I’m already that in real life

[@troylawson1902]

Agreed and you will have the same damn cry babies calling for a nerf always on something. Legendary ally's maxed out should be the best OP thing because they are Legendary and should feel and make you FEEL like a beast .

[@richardoden9098]

Hey OC. This ally will be a great twin to my electric toon. Lol. I will pumping him up to max level right away. Thanks for another great video. Have a great white north day. Wink wink nudge nudge

[@ObsidianChill]

glad I could help out, enjoy your day fellow northerner

[@legacy9760]

Inventory so beautiful 🔥🔥

[@exiledoutcast8248]

His attack is just like electric arc lightning, kill the one targeted breaks chain. Just have higest health add targeted, at least thats what i do with arc. Seems like that would work. I like the healing ability. Interested in trying it out

[@ObsidianChill]

this issue comes as Shazam has a few second delay before he attacks so if you summon it and in the meantime the target gets lower, or worse the ally targets something else like HoL bot does then it can lead to those damage miss situations

[@jmg4208]

@16:00 You mentioned about tank not having priority heal. May I ask a related question .. On what Clarion base it's "priority heal" as tank? I always wonder.. & since I seen your vids on it. I've been considering lvling it on a dbl art Xp.

[@ObsidianChill]

Realized after the video after a bit more comparison the 0.5 cooldown referred to the cooldown between weapon attacks so you are right there. For Clarion, even though other roles don't have a priority heal think of it just as a "base heal calculation" so if a tank uses it, it's just taking the tanks stats into the equation and figuring out the base heal. Healers you can show the base heal just with getting an average from non crit priority heal ability

[@jmg4208]

@@ObsidianChillappreciate the explanation! I'm may give Clarion a try, see if I can make a "paladin" style fire tank.. just for giggles, thx!

[@garibaldiburymore6721]

Water's healing pools may count as group heal (even though not labelled as such) - Purple Ray counted it. (Had it on a toon with no dps arts on dps build..only had pool on / kept going off)

[@ObsidianChill]

PHR counts all heals, Group Heal will be designated by yellow text on the power just like is

[@tamartin64]

I love the irony that Shazam's passive is pretty much not feasible for electric healers.

[@superricky13]

What do you mean? My friend is electric heals and can't wait for this.

[@sophocles2083]

​​@@superricky13 his second passive works best with healers like water and nature that have downtime between their casts to perform weapon attacks without losing out on healing. electric can't afford to do that nearly as much because it barely has any healing over time. same concept with why clarion is ideal for nature and water healers. shazam is best used on a nature clarion healer, since just the pheremones alone combined with clarion can heal all normal raids, and you can still use flourish, cross-pollination, and growth if things get out of hand. in elite you'd still need to heal more actively though, but nature still gets the biggest advantage out of it, and electric the least

[@Yurioki]

I was thinking about Shazam's Passive more and do you think Water Healer can go without using a Group/Priority heal on loadout now? My thought was using Clarion/Trans/Demon Fang with Shazam+Batman who Laughs passives, and using as a Loadout: Pressurize, Solace, Riptide, Bubble, Tempest Guard, Blessings of the Depth. You'd use Double Solace+Clarion to keep up health aswell as rotating shields. Using only Blessings of the Depth for AoE or extra emergency heal, and best of all Blessing while being an 8 man heal won't get rid of Shazam's Passive because it's not a Group Heal since it doesn't trigger stuff like PhR. I was thinking this might work quite well and keep up Shazam's 25% passive permanently

[@ObsidianChill]

It’s certainly possible, solo healing some elite instances may lead to some issues but for the majority of content in the game I’d feel that would be completely viable

[@fieryphoenix897]

That damage is so op lol. There's no way they don't nerf him

[@BeyondEllisBeck]

Obsidian, please explain to me how this game is staying afloat without a healthy PvP community?

[@ObsidianChill]

people buy lots of time capsules and booster bundle rewards.

[@user-wg5ul6ib4e]

it’s an MMOrpg, most of the combat is focused on player vs npc

[@LanternEnergy]

PvP doesn’t drive or require you to buy anything

[@ObsidianChill]

@@LanternEnergy but it does require developers who understand pvp. Which dcuo hadn’t had in years

[@LanternEnergy]

@@ObsidianChill I don’t disagree as I am a fan of PvP when it was in full swing and in its glory. Do you think they don’t understand PvP or don’t care for it? I’ll never forget the one time Mepps was live and said a few years back that they were no longer going to touch PvP because we always complain and it’s never good enough. I felt it was a cop out

[@BruceWayne-zw8jq]

well, time to farm marks

[@LoudMusic781]

Definitely going to use this with my nature. I'm sitting on 300k ally points.

[@HydroFlame20]

Yeah I have a lot to and tons of SMs

[@Yurioki]

For healer passive does it count all the hits during like dual pistols normal Full Auto? I'm currently using a Water Healer with Clarion/Fang/Purple and if it does with how fast those hits are I may have to pick this ally up asap when it comes out

[@ObsidianChill]

there is a 0.5s cooldown between weapon attacks so DP full auto 10 hits would not equal 10 stacks because of how quick the attacks were

[@drathmor1401]

ok for his healing passive that is reset with the priority and group heal. does that heal that resets it utilize the full resto buff or just whatever heals you use that aren't a priority and the group heal?

[@ObsidianChill]

asked the dev for clarification on that, in my testing I wasn't seeing enough of a difference to say that it was counting

[@cookiekitten7481]

Need more villain allys comon devs x.x

[@JohnnyB1887]

I’m an electric healer and for the Shazam’s second passive does the increased restoration reset after the group heal or priority heal takes affect? Cause that’s the only thing that concerns me.

[@toxicdisaster1585]

Would you happen to know if elite plus will be added to this dlc?

[@ObsidianChill]

it's supposed to, not sure if it will make it before the christmas break but as far as i've been told we are getting one for both raids

they have adjusted the damage but still can be buggy. The passives are unchanged

[@eurek3306]

What ally combination do you recommend for earth pet dps?

[@fwlilzay]

Does your sea of solace ( group heal over time) does it reset the stacks or specifically only priority and 4 man group heal ?

[@ObsidianChill]

solace does not reset the stacks, nor would blessing of the depths or Tsunami Strikes

@@ObsidianChill thank you that’s all I needed to know. I’m running page clarion and purple healing ray

With the new Shazam Ally, what are the three allies you recommend a heater use? 🤔

[@ObsidianChill]

healer combo would still be BWL and now Shazam technically. The 3rd one is just a dps ally

[@KainEnigma]

I'm using Death Metal Batman's 2nd passive as a heal. Detaunt is really useful to get off mobs from you especially when tank is newbie. It's probably the Only way to lose agro as a heal. Even when you are alone and do it, enemies starts to attack your pets instead of you :) It also gives a nice defensive boost (dmg cut off) if you are not attacking, just healing :)
