June 5, 20196 yr Hi, as title says: today I played around with a Berserker/Helwalker, trying to find combos that proc Swift Flurry/Heartbeat Drumming a lot (spoiler: Monring Star is a great candidate) when I found out that WotEP's AoE hits triggered both effects occasionally. Fun times! Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

June 5, 20196 yr Author I only have passive icons and UI mod installed Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
June 5, 20196 yr Programmers who tried recursion, usually learn to be super-careful about it... P.S. It's curious how OBS first tried to nerf the proc chance first, before giving up, and making "Swift Flurry will no longer recursively proc infinitely" in v1.1.0. But I guess it only means that Swift_Flurry_Attack cannot trigger another Swift_Flurry_Attack, while Swift_Flurry_Attack -> WotEP_Attack -> Swift_Flurry_Attack is still permitted.

June 5, 20196 yr Yup. Coming to a Nexus near you this very weekend, if that guy @Phenomenum is to be believed "Time is not your enemy.

June 5, 20196 yr Author Don't know how it's coded but if I use Swift Flurry and Heartbeat Drumming I have a ~50% chance that at least one of them procs with a crit. And it looks as if they can proc off of each other. Because when I use a char with very high crit conversion and effective ACC (Berserker/Monk + Morning Star with all the ACC/debuff/conversion shenanigans) I can often kill high health/low defense enemies like dummies with one single Barbaric Smash because I will get like 10+ consecutive procs.

June 5, 20196 yr Possibly Swift Flurry can’t proc another Swift Flurry, but it can proc an Heartbeat Drumming (and vice versa.) Edited June 5, 20196 yr by AndreaColombo "Time is not your enemy.

June 5, 20196 yr Author I'm also pretty sure it does. You can't produce 10 procs rel. reliably if they would just proc off each other but not themselves. You have to have a very high crit change though. I managed to get a very high chance with Body Blows, Staggered (Spirit Frenzy), Weakened (Enervating Blows), Brute Force, Berserker Frenzy + Barbaric Smash and Enduring Dance. Enemies' fortitude was under zero at some point (wasn't very high to begin with). And then you'll see such chain procs. So maybe not a big problem in fights that have the appropriate level.

April 22, 20205 yr Sorry for necroing this post but would like to know if this is still true @Boeroer, before investing on a character just to try it out 😄
April 22, 20205 yr Author @Lunateric: Yes, Swift Flurry and Heartbeat Drumming can still chain-proc. As said you need high ACC vs. low defenses. Having additional hit-to-crot conversion also helps of course. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

Sorry for not being specific, I meant to ask if WotEP still triggers both HBD and Swift Flurry with its cone, would make it a much more appealing weapon for a devoted/monk.
April 22, 20205 yr Author Nope, it does not, only the initial attack roll afaik. Also Swift Flurry/HBD only repeat the actual single attack roll, not the whole AoE attack. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
April 22, 20205 yr Ah, that's a shame, guessing it'll be the same with Karabörü's on crit bonus. Gotta rethink on that devoted choice for a bit. Thanks Boeroer.
April 22, 20205 yr Author I have not tested it lately though. Best to try it out before casting it aside. You can use your early game, open the console, type "iroll20s" and then "giveitem great_sword_u_whispers_of_the_endless_paths", "addexperiencetolevel 20" and level up your monk and equip him with WotEP. With "spawnprefabatmouse cre_dummy" you can spawn a non-moving enemy with lots of HP but nearly no dmg output. If you use arrow-up (on your keyboard) in the console you can repeat that last command so that you spawn lots of those. That trigger Swift Flurry and hit them. Don't overwrite your savegame with this session because calling iroll20s cancels achievements/berath blessing points and you don't want to save that over your original savegame.

Gonna test just that, just arrived from work. Thank you! Quick edit: I am proccing Flurry and Heartbeat Drumming out of every dummy if I hit several! Edited April 22, 20205 yr by Lunateric
