Finally got grico myself. Didn't really get the whole "down to 300m" prediction right :D

[@jlayman89]

Unrelated to this video, but I've been trying to find a stable money making method that's not hard and doesn't require good dps and I think I found it. Ganodermics. The reqs for it arent hateful either. If you go in and kill them 1 by 1 its not great money, if you however mass them it becomes incredibly good. Im currently making around 12m/hr there. Which isn't crazy, but the input the output ratio is what makes it good. Reply if anyone wants any details on it.

[@mikestraatman9781]

How?

[@jlayman89]

@@mikestraatman9781 With animate dead its a breeze now. Just aggro overload, oldak coil with the bone crusher and demonhorn. Gano gloves and boots are enough to get animate dead safe enough. Majority of the drops are stackable beside the staves, gloves, and boots so bring some notepaper. Honestly I was making that 12m/hr when I made the comment a year ago, but it's definitely higher now. I'd guess more like 18.

[@EvilLucario]

You didn't even mention its disgusting synergy with bakriminel bolts or black stone arrows where each hit rolls a proc. If using hydrix bolts, you can pretty easily gain over 20%+ adrenaline by just using it. It's so overpowered, it needs massive nerfs. You can't even compare this to Barge which is more balanced because you can't spam that like you can with Greater Ricochet and you have to give up some other damage before you can use it. There is no justifiable reason to keep it like this in the game at all.

[@mikolinoify]

If Lucario says, it's true

[@Brian_Gonzales]

I wish they gave range a basic ability that can be used anywhere without it being stupid OP. I was hoping for a instant cast snipe id be happy with that. But we got this and if it gets nerfed rip half a bil for tons of players

[@ProtoxxGaming]

How would you adjust it, given that you had the option to?

[@ianzen]

What if it did not activate ammunition specs?

[@EvilLucario]

@@ProtoxxGaming I would either make it a single hit so it's not degenerate with bakriminel bolts or black stone arrows and can get hitcapped hard to mess up ECB, or nerf the extra damage to 20% per hit or have diminishing returns so every next hit boosts by less. So something like first secondary hit being 40%, next being 30%, next being 20%, the rest being 10%, etc. If you ask me, you can nerf the damage AND make it a single hit and it would still be very good, but obviously people still want to feel powerful in some way so either one is fine.

[@brianlermitte5538]

hey protoxx, love your vids! just one more question; given this does not get nerfed where does this fit in the gear upgrade order?

[@RDB33]

instead of going full manual you could literally just put Ricochet outisde your revolution bar, and then you only need to track one ability? idk seems easier to me

[@mygtavideos3955]

I hope they don't nerf this ability to death because a few people are hyping it so hard. What they need to do is stop it working in PVP because that is clearly broken and stop it from having multiple chances to trigger enchanted bolts when used with caroming. Remove the bolt effect and it is no more busted than melee greater barge or the TMW spear effect, just more spectacular because all the damage happens in 1 tick instead of over time. Fleeting boots are actually just as insane, people just haven't figured it out yet. Magic is left so far behind after this update it is a joke, it really needs some buffs now.

[@SuiKins]

"It would be just... Order anything with foodpanda"... Damn ads

[@TheMarik766]

You didn't mention the most OP part of Grico... the fact that it hits a target 7 times allows for insane proc chances on bak bolts, most notably ruby and hydrix bolts. With elite seers diary done and range cape perk, there is a 8.4% chance per hit to activate a ruby spec, meaning a 45.9% chance per grico to proc a ruby bolt spec, which is busted. Definitely a must a have

[@mygtavideos3955]

yeah, exactly. If they just remove the insane bolt proc chance the ability wouldn't be nearly as broken as some people are saying. With caroming 4 it should still only have one chance to trigger the enchanted bolt effect, not seven!

[@Wh40k720]

@@mygtavideos3955 you do know that there is an internal cd per bolt proc that is shared by all players using said bakriminal bolt? It’s not going to proc more than once per 15 seconds

[@yothatsyogi]

@@Wh40k720 only rubies share cd and it's 6 seconds not 15

[@Retarded_Pooh]

That's not how percentages work. Each hit still only has an 8.4% chance to proc. The chance doesn't go up just because you have a multiple hit ability.

[@Karpnado]

Idk if this did get patched or not but apparently this DID work in PvP as I was told people were being 1 shot by it. Nice to know it no longer works though (hopefully...)

[@deathmock5]

Now look into bak bolts + swift gloves ability ontop of greater rico.

[@kennygroth4938]

If they're using the "greater" keyword as a general description of upgraded abilities, I'm sure we'll see more upgrade tiers in the future.

[@RifuriusLP]

They used to be called mutated abilities but then they introduced weaker versions of some abilities called "lesser" abilities so they changed all the mutated abilities to greater abilities for consistency. Also I doubt we are going to get another tier for the same ability any time soon there are a lot of abilities already that could get a greater version and they could also always just add a new ability entirely like they did with divert.

i'm confused why you wouldn't say what the optimal perk setup is and explain what also makes grico so good which is its synergy with the ecb spec. just because you're poor and can't afford an ecb doesn't mean you can't get help from someone so your video is comprehensive. you should've explained that caroming 4 e2 would optimally go on your ecb and that you'd aim to grico twice in each ecb spec because of how good it is in the spec. this isn't the first time you've released a video that lacks important information that people should know, and you probably would've known if you had talked to knowledgeable people before making the video
