IS PLAGUE BEAR OR CARNAGE BEAR BETTER?! (Pt. 2) | Ascension Season 7

[@ShikariDill]

I would REALLY appreciate if you went and followed my Twitch!

You could use Vampiric Embrace with the Twilight epic enchant (vampiric embrace heals from your bleeds) instead of bear attack. Pretty cool with Carnage build.

That would be pretty cool! I’ll have to give that a try.

Saw your link in the Ascension Discord. I'm currently playing a Shadowbolt Bear on A52, after trying a Carnage Bear. I came back to Ascension from about a 6-7 hiatus, and was rolling a weird Fire Bear build. Decent DPS, decent survivability. Switched to Carnage Bear, as it looked interesting. It had some really good self-heals, but the DPS just felt off. Was maybe about 1K-1200 DPS. Saw someone suggest a Shadowbolt Bear build on another discord. I will tell you that SB is INSANE. My self-heals and mana regen keep me up through majority of stuff, along with Unfair Advantage giving a small damage bubble. I also get about 1700-2700 DPS AS A TANK. Im in mostly rep gear, some badge gear, a few normal dungeon gear. Only one PVP/BF. With most buffs on I'm sitting at over 20K health, 15.5K Armor, 3000AP, 1800SP, 415 Def, 21 Expertise, 33% Crit, 25% Dodge, 150 Hit. Im generally only really suffer from stacks of bleeds or ticks. Beyond that, not much phases me. Big spike damage I tend to just take and heal back through. My brother and I duo a lot. He's rolling through a Champion of Justice hybrid healer-dps. While he's slowly catching up to me in DPS as we've switched him out from a previous caster-healer build to a more streamlined holy-paladin build, it's been fun seeing just how far we can go. We steamrolled through Botanica N in about 20m, Shadow Labs N in 22m, Black Morass N in 20m (100% shield), and will be rolling through Shattered Halls tomorrow. Trying to get all the reps to exalted, for the lolz and such. I know everyone enjoys the draft, but I personally don't. I prefer to have a bit more control over my abilities, hence A52. I also want to point out, that a lot of content creators tend to focus on the build, but never talk gear. Never saying oh I went after such and such piece because it does X or you need to aim for about these stats if you want to do X. Like I'd love to know what numbers I should be aiming for, with hit, expertise, defense, dodge, et all. Especially since I have a couple of Expertise REs that I would like to drop and increase other stuff. Anyways, good content. I'll probably watch more of your stuff as I'm getting back into Ascension.

Corrupter Bear form is pretty good! I didn't cover it for this video but I heard those shadowbolt crits on corrupted bear form are MASSIVE. Yeah, I can totally understand why some might be frustrated with the draft system of Alar and would prefer to play on A52! Thank you!

Holy crap...buy your alts some bags! thank you for the content, please keep it up.

[@ShikariDill]

I had someone literally give me bags because they couldn't stand to look at my inventory anymore lmao. So problem solved now! Inventory has never been my strong suit. Thank you!
