Recording in a different environment. At families cottage, so the mic setup picks up the keyboard noise more, that won't be present back when I am home from vacation.

Not a big deal, didn’t notice until you pointed it out 😂

What artifacts would be good to use with a totem?

[@ObsidianChill]

@@renandepaulabarros2393 trans/quislet or trans strat (for dot based loadouts)

[@ahumanstain-gs7hr]

Been waiting for you on this

[@TheLQGaming]

Nice vid! I'll probably use as a swap art for SC or maybe for brawling AOE for hallway adds, that's about it.

[@Shadow497]

Yessssss. Thanks for making this video

[@ObsidianChill]

Thanks for watching, sorry it’s so late 😢

[@Jayvawn]

Does tap canceling dervish still count as a superpower? Or jump canceling vortex?

[@Supsyfy]

Has something changed? It is doing crazy AOE damage now.

[@Jmk3591]

Any chance you can test with different powers? HL, Muni, Ice, rage. Different power set other then gadgets would be cool to see how it it’s hitting

[@swagbutouchiha855]

How about you test it

Is that a new gadgets prec loadout you’re running in the DPS example section of the vid?

[@iamadd_vibes]

I feel like you need to be straight prec or have a lot of sp to pull this off

[@GamingFreak-yj4mx]

Can you use this artifact for healing If so what other artifacts to use with it to make it stand out from other healers right now I'm doing Tantu Totem, EOG, and Purple, healing ray or Scarp

[@jmg4208]

Crazy, they made art for SS+brawling meta.. Just wish they made a similar scaling like eog, the more combo use prior of a cross weapon the more bonus dmg it give ex: *Home Run in brawling* to make them more appealing

[@ObsidianChill]

weapons in general need a revamp for the WM combos. For too long has 90% of them been useless for proper damage rotations.

[@azegabriellumbania1534]

Hello ObsidianChill, can you please try these artifact combo to see if the damage is acceptable or high and the power consumption will compensate due to the effect of Ebon's as well as to boost might when the power is between 50 to 75% cause of omegahedron and ebon's. Transformation Card Omegahedron Ebon's Untethered Shadow

[@Joker-ik1sp]

Gadget st its pretty decent but definitely not worth to invest into it unless you got everything else maxed already anyways. Get scepter, philo stone, matrix shit, venom wrist, scrap of soul cloak maybe even eog first as switch arts before u get the tantum

You sure about that?

[@drewg7441]

Alright, soooo...for hybrid DPS....does this replace Strat Card? It'd be Trans + Quislet + Tantu Totem?

[@ObsidianChill]

it can, quislet would be the safest option but if you are a dot heavy power like say nature, elec, celes etc strat will still be better for AOE.

[@drewg7441]

@@ObsidianChill Ahhh ok gotcha. I asked mainly because my Electric toon is not superspeed and has almost the exact same loadout and rotation in your video lol. My Ice, Atomic, and Rage are very similar to that as well (all hybrid dps) - shuriken storm mastery clipped with a loadout power. Thinking I might go for this art.

[@seethrusubs4599]

What about straight precision setup for dps gadgets? What is the meta setup?

And it’s this loadout as well gangy Ngl yea this shit is situational I run a whole diff prec loadout that’s fast wit MB so the art does more dmg

[@ObsidianChill]

@@Scry2am for sure there are going to be certain powers and loadouts this art does really well with. It’s worth the level just to mess around with

[@Rhuowave]

So with how it interacts poorly with dots does that mean this animal themed artifact is terrible with nature (the power with animal stuff)? It’s a shame I’d love for my artifacts to be in theme with my character’s power and the animal aspects are cool looking.

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

Nature dots do low damage so ya it would be horrible for nature.

[@PlusUltraBrando]

Are you guna cover the starfire ally soon

[@ObsidianChill]

Doing that next

[@jonathanjenson2986]

Now I'm wondering how it works with combo powers like celestial, atomic, hard light...ect

[@Shadow497]

Not good. For one you'd lose damage because it'll see every combo as a chance to proc and secondly you'd lose damage trying to use might and prec combos and just be slow over all. Unless you just use none combo abilities or the first hit and go into weapon combo. Remember it's a hybrid art. Not a might or prec art.

[@jonathanjenson2986]

@@Shadow497 For context my main Villain is celestial, currently set up with Quislet, strat, trans, Hybrid focused since I used cross weapon combos while either low on power or powers on cooldown, for my atomic villain no I would not use it since he is might. I was just wondering since it was not mention in the vid how it interacts with combo powers. thanks for the reply

[@Shadow497]

@jonathanjenson2986 yes the art reads and dame done as a power damage so if you comb damage it'll prov off that. And you can focus Hybrid doesn't make you a hybrid dps. Tbh you'd probably get more power back as superpower focus since you are superpower focused.

[@jonathanjenson2986]

@@Shadow497 i've been superpower focused, for some reason I get more power with hybrid(could just be my loadout or how I play?) in terms of skill points obviously dmg crits, 100 pts in prec and 100 pts in might/power rest into health. I got 419 SP, I'm using a single target mid range loadout with neo venom and robot sidekick. I do use a lot of chills set ups for a start with minor changes to fit my play style. i am normally close too or top dmg dealer in content with how I've been doing things but always looking for new stuff to try. Thanks for the constructive input with art and the suggestions.

[@jonathanjenson2986]

@@Shadow497 Forgot to add this part in the first reply sorry for the ping. I am aware I am not hybrid dmg, I just put in a minimal investment into the prec side by going hybrid focused with 100 pts in prec, the rest is still largely a might setup with adaptive and origin mods,.

[@seancanyon59]

Sadly, this wouldn't be a good fit for any of my 3 ice dps characters, lol. Going to have all of them running trans, scrap, Quislet...because I use ice elemental a LOT (generally only on bosses). I'm spec'd all might, so I only use weapon attacks for counters and block breaks. I do have word of power in my ice elemental loadout, but I normally only use it if I'm top dps by a good amount and we need to speed things up 🤣

[@swagbutouchiha855]

What’s the point of 3 toons with the same power ? That’s dumb

[@seancanyon59]

@@swagbutouchiha855 I've tried all the powers, and stuck with ice for my hero main character. My 2nd is a villain I use for PSN trophies related to villain content, and my 3rd is another hero, basically just to pick up more seasonal base items. If I wanted to run a different power, I'd just start a new character...too easy.

[@kerronsinkia6979]

What i dont understand is that when clipping and jump cancel it takes power but it doesn't count for proc art which is some crap yuh aint even show the hybrid build for it either 😑😑

[@ObsidianChill]

Build as in the skill point and mod spec? Hybrid primary dmg will still be prec based so you spec all as you would prec and just add extra sp into might that is left over

[@Joker-ik1sp]

U dont proc anything cuz u dont hit anything, if u would used whirling derwish for example instead of a minr in melee distance and hit something with it it would proc the art. For aoe there are strsight up better arts so what he showed was already the best "hybrid" loadout cuz if u do anything other thsn that u will massivley lose out od dmg as gadget at least and st gadget got a lot of power clipping way more than aoe at least

[@kerronsinkia6979]

@@Joker-ik1sp oh well this art ain't for a power like gadgets as I can see here but which means it make electric more stronger especially with art swapping to... electric go be on lvl steroids

[@Joker-ik1sp]

@@kerronsinkia6979 electric has better arts than this for swapping by far it actually is best suited for gadget u tard

[@gamermartinez7486]

Art is broken. Gorilla aspect does not always proc and Strat steals damage from the art. Resulting in lower damage.

[@ObsidianChill]

strat is technically intended and wouldn't be changed. It is just how strat was created where it counts the procs as player damage not artifact damage and the totem artifact looks for player damage. They would have to change how strategist is designed to fix :(

[@gamermartinez7486]

@@ObsidianChillyea I agree. The Gorilla aspect not working tho is a huge blow. One of the dev said the game can’t keep up and suggest to “cast slower” lol imagine having a full super and having to wait 3 rotations before you can pop a Neo or CB.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@gamermartinez7486 yea the artifact really doesn't handle clipping abilities well. Don't recall other artifacts having similar issues

[@mariano3113]

​@@ObsidianChillonly other artifact not handling clipping 'well' is Brand of Hecate where sometimes the debuff even though cast before Brand or Cull will not be present...or somehow expires before the 24 second duration. Using 160 B.O.P. - I have seen where all 3 debuff were counted for the initial Brand damage proc (& Amulet of Rao ticks) and only 2 ticks for Harvest Cull and then the debuff drop to 2 instead of staying at 3. (Clipping Harvest Cull with Stealth to EMP)

Just seems to be annoying to use, and by the time you get your aspects, the enemy will be all but dead from other dps.
