Just wondering what's best for DPS. Have been using PoP, fiery bolt and killing flames. Use TC and BoH also. Have been. Using TC and BoH on bosses but from reading need to just do BoH. What is the best for DPS

    Mobs you're good with TC since they have high HP. Mobs with high HP is the one and only reason to ever use TC. Bosses switch FB for HG and use BoH. TC is garbage on bosses now, actually results in slightly less damage than just a WC. Keep FoE stacks up always. PoP Owlbear tics, FoE stacks, timing KF correctly are the difference between performing average and excelling.

    Awesome info thankyou. I figured I was missing out on some damage on the bosses

    So you don't use AoH at all in those two places. Hadar grasps is better. Have. Ever used it will give it a go. Thanks again

    OK, on this topic of Hadars grasp versus fiery bolt, I've been having great effect with fiery bolt on single target bosses as a HB fury, and I'm just wondering why people suggest HG. I tried it a couple of times before but always performed better with FB. Am I missing something in terms of timing and rotation? Or a possible underlying mechanic? Traditionally I'd keep the FOE stacks full, while POP underneath, then HG followed by KF.

    AoH is a fine alternative to HG and should work well esp with cleric and cooldown reduction. I've never had good experiences with FB on bosses but thats me. Try em out and see what you like. For sure no TC though, that will ruin everything

    Oh okay. So to clarify, people mainly use HG for the damage component and not some other purpose? And if that is the case then I would agree, AOH or maybe even Warlocks bargain would be viable?

    OK thanks again. Tried some tonight on ps4 so just on dummies Fiery Bolt seems to hit just a bit harder than AoH. Hard to judge HG on dummies so far. Went into PvP just messing around want build for PvE) and HG was amazing.

    Since I play FBI & mSVA for the most of the time I have far better results with HG then AoH.

    There is no big difference between HG and WB imo.
    I would stick with AoH in a static fight, especially if a DC/OP uses encounter reset, and switch to WB/HG at let´s say Drufi or that turtle.
    Being SB atm, I run Arms of Hadar + FB in SVA since it´s a nice aoe. In a good party I even can´t use TT+SS effectively :/
    At boss/single normally I go for Bova+SS+KF.

    Does HG work on the Giants? Or just orcs?
