Does pet arts work with suppressor turret?

[@blackroyaltymgmt5195]

I wish brick was included in this artifact.. What a waste.. smh Can you do a video on the strongest weapon moves in the game?

[@CaptRetro1]

Great video, thanks for covering all the new upcoming stuff. Super appreciated! Take care ✌

[@TheRoreaga]

I stopped paying to level arts a long time ago (have multiple toons with multiple maxed arts). I have a sorcery pet build toon I mess with every now and then that originally had 200 grim, quis, shard... Which I then fed grim into trans and it did slightly better overall. When they dropped this art I thought I'd give it a try, and so have been levelling it since. Was having fun with it up until recently - On Friday it reached 160 breakthrough and I went ahead with it. Used it in the new raid and was happy enough with it, but then shortly after realised that doing the 160 breakthrough REMOVED the 3% precision and 3% might! It literally only states and grants 3% health now + base stats. The ability rank bonuses are working, but the stat bonuses for might and prec have completely gone. Customer service responded to me and said it's something they can't do anything about, and they advised me to make a forum bug report. I have done so, but have a feeling it may take the devs a while to get around to it because people will only upvote if it's happened to them. Unfortunately, most people on live that have levelled the art to the higher ranks have gone straight to 200 (from what I've seen), so they wouldn't have noticed the bug if it's a universal thing. Same applies to anyone (such as yourself) that levelled it on the test server. If I had test server, I would go on and rank it to 160 and check if it happened there too, but I haven't had access to it for a while. **EDIT - At 200 all stat bonus % are there, from what I can tell... So if I never get a fix for my issue, I will literally have to wait until I rank it to 200 to get the stats back! Lol what a game.

[@ObsidianChill]

Also when using Robot Sidekick with the MERCY artifact it will apply the power interaction just as Grimorium Verum would. Forgot to cover in the video but I will mention it in another coming up

[@Icarus_26]

Heard crystal and fury too do too

[@e_hs]

Do you think this art can replace grim in non pet build? Particularly for powers with weak PI like quantum and light, and they are using RSK anyway

[@Icarus_26]

@@e_hs if you can find a viable rotation where you can add the new attack for the artifact sure - however, remember your pets will affect your power regen without grim (if grim was at 200 it prevented this)

[@ObsidianChill]

@@Icarus_26 yes, its the Attack Protocol ability itself with the art making the pet/rsk deal powerset specific attacks

[@blueroseshadow9789]

So do we use fury or robot for Aoe dmg

[@OCFreeze]

Finally something for Earth .. didnt change it for like 9 years now ... will definitely check this one. Thank you! :)

[@ObsidianChill]

Ignore the ending, I ended up swapping video clip locations

[@ADarklore]

Honestly, when I first clicked in here and saw the seahorse, I thought the seahorse was MERCY... and thought, "oh hell no, I'm not going to run around with a damn seahorse!". LoL!

[@ps3guy22]

💀💀

[@colinworthington2535]

I like the idea of boosting pets especially with the amount you see nowadays and being a big fan of earth it suits me but my biggest hatred with pets is they have collision, the amount of times I have been trapped in a red zone by pets and resulting in death is annoying. I would love to see the collision dropped but I guess that would also drop their hit box resulting in invincible pets so I guess we can look forward to more pets more pet traps more death's 🤣🤣🤣

[@jayalook5337]

I agree wish they would make allies and pets hollow to each other and not to enemies

[@Mrdarkknight2000]

I would like to see the sourcey and earthe dps builds wit mercy artifact soon please 🙏

[@ImGerald]

I just hate how slow it is to upgrade your artifacts

[@Icarus_26]

Hey Obsidian the symbol you were seeing on the top of pets if Aquaman's passive. Every time you get damage it buffs pets (I don't remember the cooldown tho). It works if you use amulet too so you can buff your pets more often running Aquaman + amulet for example

[@ObsidianChill]

Yea someone let me know thanks, I wasn’t aware they added a symbol to that effect, it wasn’t around when that ally was on test

[@xCypharr]

@obschill Just watched your video on M.E.R.C.Y. Amazotron Matrix. Since fortify golem is replaced with attack protocol when you use the attack protocol ability does it apply power to brick just like fortify golem or do you loose giving power to brick

[@mrstoner7309]

This would be a really good artifact for a fire or rage tank. And even really atomic if you think about it.

[@Rells_Farg0]

It’s even better for Earth tank because of the healing for the Brick pet

[@ajpro1650]

With double xp have real problem and as a PS player no answers. If i have grim, source, and quizlet max. Should i still max mercy? And if so what do i take out? A comment you made said take out grim. But grim is pet (source boosts 3: quiz, grim, pet) and adds pi and also negates power pet reduction. Old post curious to see if you check. Any info appreciated.

[@AnubisA.A]

I would say puy grim in mercy, I did that because mercy already makes your pet sits PI and so far I'm not missing anything from grim even on prec side so definitely mercy, source shard and Quizlet or trans That makes me hit like 1.1 or 1.2 m in 10 sec

[@DocElysian]

That icon you’re talking about in the shield part is from the Emperor Aquaman ally damage buff passive.

[@ObsidianChill]

oh really lol didn't know they added an icon to that effect, must have been after its release from test

[@ObsidianChill]

guess it's good to confirm that ability works, it was broken for awhile after release

[@DocElysian]

@@ObsidianChill yeah they added it as a indicator a while after they released him!

[@ObsidianChill]

@@DocElysian funny I guess that means that weak shield either isn't working or impossible to tell it active

[@DocElysian]

@@ObsidianChill I didn’t think there was a difference between the shield that’s applied on summon and the shield given when healed above 95%, maybe it’s something weird with the cooldowns, I could be wrong though.

[@Gear-5Five5]

So Obsidian would I run this art wit source shard and quizlet with sorcery?

[@ObsidianChill]

yes

[@Bo_OnXbox]

What do you think about running Mercy Source and Trans as a Earth DPS? With crystal obviously.

[@ObsidianChill]

For single target or ranged for sure, not sure about shard yet for melee as it doesn’t really fit with jackhammer rotations but still need to test myself

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

Hear me out… I just had a thought. This artifact with scepter tac swaps can potentially be OP.

[@ObsidianChill]

true, you'll end up with getting your pet trinket off cooldown each time

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

Im tryin this out

[@nerdythings3889]

Does the Artifact enhance damage when you summon a trinket pet in battle work with the Boos & Boo-tility Belt? (The same way like when you summoned the Sea Horse in the video?)

[@ObsidianChill]

any trinket pet that is summoned will trigger the reactive field aoe damage, boo utility belt would still apply to it

[@blake8543]

Yo obsidianchill what do you rank all powers in your opinion love your videos btw

[@Kiryu]

Does Mercy's heal work with the lernese amulet?

[@ObsidianChill]

on the finisher heal it should yes

[@kaptain187]

The question.... the big BOoOOOOoooOOoOOooOgly question! Does the MERCY artifact with a Boo build become really good now?

[@ObsidianChill]

no, if you run source shard you can only buff 3 pets and it goes to your closest 3 pets so if you are sorc/earth that is fury/crystal-quislet-pet trinket and if you aren't those 2 then its quislet-RSK-grim/pet trinket. The boos aren't apart of the tier system for pets which means unless you run 3x or 4x boos their damage is terrible compared to what you would see with any other T3 pet

[@kaptain187]

@@ObsidianChill The multiBoo is what I was thinking there... run the 3Boos + trinket to keep CR up, (Mercy/Quis/Godwave arts) and then with the cooldown reduction from the Attack protocol, they should be up almost 100% of the time.... which *should* be better than the T3 pet, hench, Orbstrike because Mercy doesn't reduce the hench/orbstrike cooldown - or am I wrong there?

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

@@kaptain187 did you try it? Was it a good combo

[@kaptain187]

@@notificationsturnedoff2126 not yet. I'm waiting for the bonus art xp week. Based on the numbers tho, I think OBchill is correct since godwave only boosts 1 Boo and so the boost *should* be better for a tier 3 pet instead of the 3 Boos on its own and that is not including hench/orbit.

[@mfbinc]

Amaztron is nice but when we getting the Awesome-o 3000 ally?

[@ObsidianChill]

yea we need some more adam sandler movie ideas

[@xtremeganman]

What about ice pet “snow devil”, does that get power up from this artifact?

[@ObsidianChill]

The only pets impacted are robot sidekick, crystal and fury

[@grecowatson5985]

So which powerset benefit the most? Im guessing Earth or Sorcery since they got an enhanced version of an already existing power and robot sidekick gets a brandnew so...trans+mercy+quizlet on those 2?

[@ObsidianChill]

yea earth/sorc and any power that can clip the attack protocol power so that you can use it on robot sidekick without messing up your rotation too much

[@grecowatson5985]

@@ObsidianChill ok ok I think rage could get a sweet increase of dmg since berserk affects pet dmg too, I might try it🤤

@@ObsidianChill which is best for sorcery?

[@AnubisA.A]

After testing: Mercy, Godwave and Quizlet is great coz u constantly have the pet trinket up thanks to mercy so u have 3 pets already without grim and mercy makes pets sets pi so that's a plus, also u can art swap godwave with EOG to use sc and make Quizlet use its special attack. Also a very good combo if u don't have source shard 200 yet, then go trans mercy godwave
