General

I'm still not convinced total damage stacks additively with boss%.
I think it only did that pre-unleashed. After that, it started directly affecting range.

[quote=Fryber]If I'm not mistaken (which if I am, correct me) but the passive hyper effects are:

Dark Genesis:

Cutter: Cooldown reduced by 40% (30s -> 18s)

Damage: Damage increased by 20% (520% -> 624%)

Damage: Proc/Lightning attack increased by 20% (220% -> 264%)

Dark Aura: Increase Boss% by a flat 10%? (Passive?)

Weakening/Debuff Aura: -10% elemental resistance (passive?)

Blue Aura: Status clear every 5s

Party Shield:

Cutter: Cooldown reduced by 20% (180s -> 144s)

Duration: Adds a flat 20s to duration (40s -> 60s)

Enhance: Additional 10% reduction (10%->20%)[/quote]

the 20% boost is not multiplicative, its additive.
and the boss dmg for dark aura is active only when dark aura is on and its party share too.
same thing with 10% ele decrease from debuff aura, its active

As much as i love partyshield i went all out on dark genesis. I've seen the skill being used alot in bossing vids from kms and Ive also used it alot in the past two days.
I also put points on dark aura and debuff aura.

EDIT:

With Party Shield Cutter, Party shield is up 5/18 of the time.

With Duration/Persist, 1/3 of the time.

With both, 5/12 of the time.

5/12>1/3>5/18

[quote=LightCuber]I'm still pretty undecided about this. The only two I think I would never get are the blue aura status-clearing effect and the 10% elemental decrease on debuff aura, because currently I don't see much use for it, at least for solo anyways. Right now I have Dark Aura buff, all of the Dark Genesis buffs, and the 20% CD on party shield, but I can see myself switching those DG buff points to party shield. I don't use shield very much because the attacks you really have to avoid are only slightly reduced by it, and I can more easily just avoid those attacks than tank them in my little shield.

I want to know, though, is it worth getting the CD reduction and increased damage for dark genesis if you only use the skill to activate the lightning proc buff? I personally think it's a great tool for clearing mobs, which we need more now since SS was nerfed.[/quote]

i think CD cutter on dark gen is very good even if your only gonna use it for its proc, its also very good at bossing, im doing 30m x8 lines every 15ish sec, and with dark gen insta cast, its worth it

i picked dark and debuff aura's enhancements, extra protection on party shield, CD cutter and damage for DG
thinking of changing DG damage for something else prob cutter on shield

what i did was 10% boss dmg for dark aura, 10% elemental decrease for debuff aura.
20% CD for party shield, 20 second extra duration for party shield and extra 10% protection for party shield.

party shield is my favorite skill so im liking these passive hypers.
although i am thinking of switching 10% ele decrease for 40% CD on dark gen since i dont think ill be using debuff aura all that much.
