Killing Spree Energy Discharges

[Munera 1]

Hi folks!

 

I’m going to play with a sword+shield malevolent champion Shadow Warrior, and I want to maximize the benefits of the Killing Spree.

First of all, I’d like to know how do you make the explosion. Is it via number of hits or amount of damage dealt/taken?

I also want to know if the storing up damage mods work, and the benefits they would give. I used to get those mods, but the damage stored % didn’t rise.

I was thinking in modifying it for long duration and quick outbursts. Is it the best option for my Shadow Warrior? My frenzied rampage won't be too long with only one sword, but I want to produce the burst as soon as I can.

Hey there Munera. It's via a percent of the damage you cause to enemies. I believe that once your total amount of stored up damage equals the total displayed in the Combat Art tool tip the explosion will occur. The mods you have chosen are the same as what I chose. I don't know why but I can never seem to get it to explode more than 2 times per duration... In need more explosions!

But when you're fighting vs a boss, you do a lot of damage and the bang doesn't happen. Another odd thing is that sometimes you haven't hit any enemy and after a few seconds you make the explosion. It's weird and I don't understand it. Once I had a dual Shadow Warrior with the opposite modifications in the KS and it took one frenzied rampage and a half to discharge the damage, and that's a great amount of damage and a lot of attacks. I don't know how will it work with only one weapon, and that's why I'm asking.

I think its restricted to two bursts, which is good as they could have made it one big burst. Before Ice and Blood, I would normally drink well over 200 runes of KS, though to be honest I am not sure how much it helps (hard to tell when combo I use it with also includes AG & RC). I should test it by itself but I can't recall last time a burst actually killed anything. I don't think the mod that increases its duration is overly useful as most fights I use it end before the 2nd burst, though the guardians lasted over two (I used buff about 4 times in total battle against them all).

 

I use pole arm, which is 1 weapon, and it seems slower to reach the 1st pulse.

Then it's better to get a big bang if you don't storage damage up quickly?
