My understand is only votes with more than 66% should be included in basic, if it is mixed then should be in extra becaues people has bias opinions on the feature, maybe I'm wrong. @Phenomenum weird, I will try with newest save and see if it works.

The poll showed 84.3% in favor of a change of backstab. There were 3 options for a change given. Of course none of the individual options made +66%. The flat dmg was the strongest option in the poll.
Yeah but based on MaxQuest's statement, the basic patch should only include changes that get >66% polls, also that 84.3% u mentioned is divided into two group, 1. raw flat damage; 2. extra coefficient . The 1st one got 37% vote while 2nd get 32%, very close to each other. Also 2nd vote and 3rd seems to be very similar to each other imo.

@MaxQuest @Phenomenum Why the backstab to flat damage is included in the CommunityPatchBasic, shouldn't it only include changes which has poll > 66%? I only installed the basic one but my backstab is broken, also it is not working, no extra raw damage.
Also does it make more sense if we change Paladin's Virtuous Triumph to 50% on kill gain zeal, we shall also change barb's to same quality?
Extra feedback on Community patch:
Also, should this ability be a level 0 ability since u get it automatically on level 0? Faith and Conviction -> Deep Faith can follow the upgrade tree but the Penetrating imbue should be at lvl 0 imo.

You should also post the build itself
Personally I don't like to play such a gamebreaking charactor, so not sure if I will post build or not. Just feel funny because Obsidian brings so many nerf patches u can still find sth OP like this XD

well, frick, lads and ladies, while testing out the last fight in the FS, the unlikely happened: i completely broke scordeo's edge (from fully repaired) before i could trigger blade cascade.
that is a bit problematic. over a long enough timeline, improbable events will happen, so this is a bit of RNG that will inevitably happen over a long run. a scordeo's edge strategy needs a backup shroud of phantasm, getting-hit-by-your-ally-to-trigger-that-1%-brilliant, item strategy so you don't end up breaking scordeo's edge.
That's a bit unlikely, because you have 5% chance to trigger it, not so low imo. And to be mentioned u need to 'hit' to trigger, graze won't work.

Yeah, nope. I'm pretty sure for any megabosses fight the sheer amount of damage you need to do means you must have either fists or a summoned weapon or else you won't last.
Can’t u just hoard a lot of exceptional weapons for boss fight? And throw them away once they are broken.
-
This is the strongest build ever imo, u are best at offensive and defensive side, as long as u are not Arcane dampered.
I think all mega boss can be finished very fast since Dorugudan has highest hp, the rest won't last longer i guess, I might upload videos for other bosses later.

Thank you for all your works done, finally can play some new Arcane Archer builds

Updated with a new try with Contemplative, solo Dorugudan in...40 secs

haha tested this with Helwalker/Priest and killed the hellfire in around 40 secs.
Takes like 20 seconds to buff and trigger blade casade, then boss died in like 15 to 20 secs...

I also find out that u can no longer cast more than one wall now, that means no multiple draining wall anymore!

Gellarde! Watching you whack away was quite a sight. What is Shroud of the Phantom?
The cloak that has 1% to trigger brilliant on being hit. That is the key, using firewall to trigger it before combat.

Need to trigger brilliant through Shroud of the Phantom before combat tho.
BDD + Salvation + Tons of mage buff, once trigger Blade Cascade, then switch to 2H axe, main dps source is DoT of bleeding cut, since u are at 0 recovery, each attack trigger DoT and thus u literally ignore enemy armor. Finish with Worthy sacrifice.
Edit: luckily I triggered blade cascade one first hit, otherwise it will be a bit slower, around 2:30 min, but I also paused a bit, so it's kinda of compensate
Edit 2: Might be able to reduce the time to <1 min with Monk/Priest because of Heartbeat Drumming + Swift Flurry, but this a concept so it doesn't matter.
New videa as Contemplative, 40 secs killed Dorugudan.

Follow up for non-tactician/skaen folks who want to try. Withdraw ended up being a non-factor in this fight, huani o whe is easy to pull far away from Vela once she cowered (generous sized map) so it basically didn't even matter that I could infinite withdraw her (she was out of range of all the oozes). So depending on the spacing of other fights, lack of withdraw may not be as big a concern as I thought.
Also, FYI abydons is brutal for a boss fight. even just using scordeo on a spiritual Ally to proc the recovery buff I broke it down one level. Without fists or replenishable summoned weapons I think you basically annihilate your gear before you can beat bosses when soloing. But I don't think excludes any class that hasn't already been excluded.
Don't forget Frostseeker + Resonant Touch, since the whole combo only relies on raw damage of RT, it doesn't matter if your weapon shattered or not.

Berserker is actually better at low might imo, the self raw damage would hurt a lot in high level with high might.

lololol dual wielding skaen spiritual weapons, with avenging storm, is like 4 attacks per second, combined with deadeye and potion of impediment that is an expected 1.6 interrupts per second (who even needs mule kick at that point?), not to mention very rapid, abydon-proof damage.
if this ends up working you're going to get 90% of the credit simply just for bringing it to my attention. the hardest part will just be keeping spiritual ally uptime without losing vela withdraw uptime. (and the second hardest part will just be creating an efficient path to pick up scordeo's in the real version of the run)
Not paid a lot attention here in the forum but that weapon is imo the most OP one in the game. Glad i'm helpful!

never really used the weapon - what's the cheese?
edit: lol never mind i found an old video on the forums. that in itself can be a combined cheese with avenging storm. does it seriously remove any recovery, even in 5.0?
yes

hm, i just discovered that avenging storm can be extended by salvation of time. i'm not sure it'll help enough, but something to consider for another night of testing. any weapons that can cheese with avenging storm particularly well?
Not Avenging storm, but Scordeo's Edge is pretty cheesy with Salvation of time @thelee The accuracy and 0 recovery can be extended.

no, but blood mage can blood sacrifice the fire wall back.
but u cannot use blood sacrifice out of combat neither?
-
1 minute ago, thelee said:
another class for consideration - blood mage + skaen. wall of flame might be an easier way to try to trigger the brilliant cloak, and i think bloodmage has pretty good megaboss options (crushing doom/slicken spam hauani o whe and most bosses, not so sure about bosses that can't be interrupted though, but maybe it doesn't matter in those other cases if you or vela can't die).
if u cast spells out of combat, do u regain them?

I haven't read all 8 pages of the discussion but why has most of the community decided it's monk, not herald?
Because Woedica + Ethos makes classes that cannot regen resource a inferior choice i think. Chanter is solid tho.

@Phenomenum Yes you are right, the flat damage of backstab is working, The combat log is just a bit confusing so I thought it was not working. Take a look at the screenshot, it would be nice if the damage log is same as Soul Annihilation.
As u see, there was a Dot after all damage, which makes me think it's broken.
