[@gorans007]

One thing for this game bugs me. I really want from you one day if you like to explain me about the gear. I know there are DPS gear and Tank gear. So please explain me why we need to have just DPS gear or just Tank gear? Why don't we have mixed Gear? For example when i use DPS gear i have weak defence and ppl often use DPS, so my question is, is it preferable to use mix gear like half of DPS and half of Tank? I mean this thing i want to know more. I saw that sometimes Tank gear with lower CR is more powerful then DPS gear with little higher CR. Why is that?

[@NobleVI_343]

ObsidianChillDCUO would using your Fire DPS melee/ single target LO benefit from the Grimorium at all, or should I stick with Tetra, Cloak and Solar?

[@miket9456]

gorans007 you must be new to the game

[@karacooper8710]

So as a gadgets prec, dart or sticky bomb?

[@giosbizarreart9048]

Would grim be useable for your rage loadout?

[@EVERTGAMING-pt2kj]

With the gideline's you do and videos and testing and Walk-through thru is the reason why I still play DCU online my quantum toons loadout that you showed me DPS still kills #1 in damage TY 👍

[@GaryBoyles342]

A fun video concept: a build that has as many pets as possible. Gadgets, so suppressor turret, and sc turret, robot sidekick, summer trinket, henchmen/sidekick, and Grim artifact, Stats built for prec damage, dead king scepter, and soul cloak. That would be fun.

[@TheEgoShooterer]

Suppressor turret and Sidekick cant be summoned at once. - you could do it with Ice - 2x snow devil

[@miket9456]

TheEgoShooterer but i'm a Christian my pastor said i shouldn't use anything with the word devil in it

[@garrickkthegreat5762]

honestly, this is probably my favorite artifact.

[@kare880]

Hey I have a question I've been looking around but couldn't find the answer, would you happen to know what "void poison" nature grimorium does? Like does that add an extra tick or what

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

Question Im thinking of testing out the combo of starhart, orb, demon fang, for max resto I cam get without elite gear. My question is is starharts 3% resto worth losing the 4% power on omegahedron?

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

I'm water btw so I'm trying to get the most resto for heals + shield strength.

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

Added it up with demon and orb at 160, starhart at 140, I'd get 13% resto, that's with the 10% resto already from my SP

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

So I'd essentially be getting 23% extra resto outside of what gear gives

[@bobbypaul3412]

Is this at all good for electric since it’s polarizing instead of electrified? As we know that polarize isn’t the best damage for electric. Thanks, Tally

[@ObsidianChill]

nah, you can scrape by with a polarized rotation but the damage values are much lower on the powers that the normal electrify rotation still is the go-to.

[@KidNamedFinger45]

@@ObsidianChillsorry I know this is old but is grim at all viable for an electric might dps? It seems like it isn’t because of the polarize effect as opposed to electrify

[@lirnxjxmperl5453]

Is there a required level or cr to use bc mine doesnt summon at all

[@bretleversha]

Which is better rank 200, grimorium verum or solar amp with heat vision?

[@disturbedgod42]

I am an Ice prec dps would you recommend I use Grim or strat card ??? I use Venom Wrist & Transformation card as my other 2 input is appreciated thanks :)

[@zmist98]

So chill will you say is more benefactor to use eye, scrap, and grimorium for rage or earth so that you never have to worry about correctly setting up the PI, if an enemy(AD) to far or the extra pet damage from it, or is more beneficial that extra might from Solar even though aint using heat vision on my loadout. My question is have you tested the numbers between the two and have an idea which will be better? Also I mean them max out at 160.

[@ObsidianChill]

For rage and earth more important to have EoG, Scrap and Solar because if you drop Solar that's 1300 ish might drop and you need EoG and scrap with how often you'll be using your supercharge. For single target (ranged) I would use the grim for both rage and earth because you aren't in melee to use the sc generators.

[@zmist98]

@@ObsidianChill Oh Alright understood and thank you. 👍

[@jonathanrebecca6498]

Great video has usual. Just a bit disappointed there was nothing about precision sorcery. I know you can't do all of the powers, I guess sorcery isn't popular has it used to be. Keep on your good work.

[@ObsidianChill]

The grim artifact helps sorc just allowing you to always clip offering with weapon of destiny to have the pi for fury without having to hit another ability but not a major boost. With respect to sorcery it definitely is one of the least played powers in the game since stats revamp.

[@youngtrippceo6296]

I'm a electricity toon I have it lvl 60 or so but I doesn't appear can u tell me why?

[@noxepoch3325]

[@eduartffx151]

Hey, I just came back to play so I don't know about all this new stuff I got this artifact, but it doesn't summon, what could it be?

[@Excelsop]

eduartffx you need to upgrade the artifact to I think at least 80 to get the passive from it

[@LittleRealist]

How Did You Get The Artifact?

[@TheLQGaming]

Ty for vid :) found the Quantum prec example very useful. - LQ

[@RogueVsMetaGaming]

Please update your Mental Power Controller video

[@ObsidianChill]

its still the same rotation and spec for the mental controller. The only thing that has changed is the artifacts which would be the regular scrap-amulet-parasite.

[@Kuya.Marcito]

So let me under understand. The grim artifact yeh. If you upgrade it to 160, you won’t have to use wintry tempest for aoe or how?

[@ObsidianChill]

Marc Ursal you could still use the power for the damage but with grim at 160 the side effect of using tempest is setting up frostbite power interaction which makes other ice powers hit 10% harder. By using grim you can skip the step of using a power that does ok dmg to a power that does great damage right away instead of the long animation and cooldown of tempest

[@Kuya.Marcito]

ObsidianChillDCUO ok thx u man

[@zanetcn6586]

What's the name of the theme in your intro dude? It's awesome

[@josephwhite2795]

I am still not sure if this is helpful with nature. I generally refresh my dots, but it sounds like the grim artifact will just be pulling them right back off. I see that it isnt great for electric, does nature have the same issue? Can anyone give any clarification on this?

[@ObsidianChill]

you're right, the only thing the grim helps nature and elec for is just the extra might and the pet dmg but sacrificing an artifact you already have for nature etc isn't worth it.

[@josephwhite2795]

@@ObsidianChill ok. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[@josephwhite2795]

@@ObsidianChill i did some more testing on this. According to the artifact description i should be getting the P I at 120 for a single target. It doesn't actually void the poison though. If i pop SG without grim i get about 12 single ticks. If i hit roar after SG without grim, it voids the poison and drops it down to 4 ticks in 3 sets. If i put the grim on and pop SG, it still does the usual 12 single tics. Did you ever test it with the nature power?

[@ObsidianChill]

@@josephwhite2795 at rank 120 no just at 160. Went test server is back up I can take a look and check the results.

[@josephwhite2795]

@@ObsidianChill Were you able to to take a look and see if the P I is messed up at 120?

[@GaryBoyles342]

I have a suggestion: Philosopher's Stone, with the orbital artifact from Atlantis content? I was just curious about the amount of time saved with said supply drop combo.

[@miket9456]

Gary Boyles what does Philosopher stone do?

[@GaryBoyles342]

Just curious, is this artifact useful for a precision dps in general, due to the pet?

[@ObsidianChill]

very useful yes for the pet damage and the pi setup which can save power usage for some precision powersets

[@njp66]

Wouldnt this mean that there no reason to use violence or galling eruption on rage?

[@ObsidianChill]

You wouldn't use violence anyways cause its bugged and relentless is better than galling for the sc regen for melee aoe but for single target, yes you could drop galling and run something else, hopefully you would be superspeed or acro which have other powers to use because rage doesn't have much else.

[@njp66]

@@ObsidianChill i run outrage relentless lacerate bezerk sever n violence/galling but i noticed as soon as pet got 2 120 violence dont do nothing but knock em down and galling is stationary which dont really work cuz most bosses in new content jump but there isnt really any other attacks to fill the spot of violence or galling

[@ObsidianChill]

@@njp66 if you watch my rage guide, violence presently will drop the PI after a few seconds and then you will have to go out of range and then back into it to apply the PI again. So if you use violence on a bunch of adds etc after a few seconds you get zero damage from the PI on outrage and all the other abilities

[@njp66]

@@ObsidianChill oh thought they fixed that by now

[@ObsidianChill]

@@njp66 they are slow to fix everything :*(

[@ayb1716]

for Quantum prec is timebomb clipped with the weapon buff not better?

[@ObsidianChill]

not for precision, time bomb is capped at a percentage of your might which will be much lower as a prec dps and it doesn't hit that much on single target.

[@ayb1716]

didnt know that, thank you

[@junejr1274]

Where can I get the artifact from?

[@dumbnamemala]

What are the levels of grim artifact? I mean what happens at each rank cuz mines 100

[@ObsidianChill]

80 is just pet dmg, 120 is pet dmg + single target pi applicator and 160 is pet dmg + aoe pi applicator

[@BatMikeTV]

Slightly off topic, but would u say robot sidekick is a better option than suppressor turret?

[@ObsidianChill]

suppressor turret is better used as a clipping tool than the actual damage from it. Robot sidekick melee does more dmg than suppressor in general but the overall dmg increase you'd have from using it to clip powers in your rotation would be more beneficial than having it out and having to re-summon it

[@BatMikeTV]

Ok thx again...I appreciate it

[@Rachebart]

Best Dcuo KZbinr 👌

[@Kiryu]

Would this artifact help Ice might dps until they fix the ice boulder bugs?

[@ObsidianChill]

It will because Ice really only has tempest to set up the PI and its a 12s dot so dropping that allows you to run another power and you have the pi not only for the rotation but for snow devil as well.

[@Kiryu]

ObsidianChillDCUO so do I have to push it to 160 or will 120 be enough?

[@ObsidianChill]

@@Kiryu 120 will be enough for single target but if you want to use it for aoe you will need 160 for how the pi ranks work.

Is this artifact good for rage/melee dps. Right now I'm using cloak, gemini, solar. Which should i replace if I was to use verium. Edit: on your chat log, it saids 0 members online. That makes me sad.

[@ObsidianChill]

Last scene missin this was on test server so it’s just myself in the league I made on test. For rage melee dps it’s not as good cause you still use relentless anger to set up the pi. For single target and ranged it’s good because it saves you using galling or plasma retch

@@ObsidianChill I'm not sure why everyone say grigorium is a must have for dps. Why don't I need it? Could you explain the PI of this artifact?

[@ObsidianChill]

@@iantru9929 for some powersets its really good because some powers suck at setting up the PI or have long cooldown powers do it where you can have the grim automatically do it which saves you using a power on your rotation which means you can use another more powerful ability instead so you increase the damage you deal by a good margin

[@meremortals9960]

So you have to do a weapon tap 1st

[@ObsidianChill]

You just have to be in combat, hitting a power or weapon tap etc will get you in combat so the next attack will summon the pet. If you are already in combat like in a raid or alert etc the pet would summon on the 1st attack.
