    Hello, guys! I made some videos farming Bearach with 3 different weapons, the way you can have some references about which one worth the effort buying/crafting. Surprisingly, they're almost evenly matched. Though I'm still getting used to Q7, Q4 keeps staying as my favorite weapon.

    P.S.: Please, forgive the fact that I never edit my videos - I have no time to do so.

    Herald's Set

    Not a surprise.
    Q7 and Q4 are comparable cause both use siege bows.
    1h build is falling behind on boss (mobs die very, very quickly anyway).

    All 3 build are having similar clear times due to most damage coming not from sets themeselves but from concentation tonics/physics (and concentration pots).
    Q7 will be superior the second "no tonics/physics" rule on bosses goes live.
    Q7 wont suffer that much due to its 2/2 bonus which doesnt require concentration to use EA +/- 7 times for free each net.

    You will have about 6/9 EAs (2/3 EAs, Adrenaline, 2/3 EAs, Pot, 2/3 EAs) on both Q4 and 1h.
    You will have 6/9 EAs (up) + 7 bonus EAs each net on Q7.

    imagine removing q7 buff, normalizing weapons damage, balancing enemies..
    people would use any weapon they want.. like in the rpgs

    Does it really? All other bosses doesnt have that mechanic?

    Why Khalys only then? Is there any explanation for that (like still wip)?

    Yes, there is an explanation.

    Each element of boss in PW gets a special resistance.
    Fire - burning
    Poison - poisoning
    Ice - freeze
    Lightning - ...electrifying, perhaps? haven't been there myself
    Multielemental (Mortis) - all negative effects
    Andermagic - well, since players can't deal andermagic effects, it seems they made it that buffs don't work there

    And since Khalys is the only pure andermagic boss in PW as of now, buffs don't work on her only. Again, it might be halving of resources, had really no time to test it myself, like with lightning.

    One thing has to be corrected - buffs work on PW Khalys map. Khalys's negative effect it that she reduces skill resource pool (mana/steam/...) by 50%.

    XD aka one more q for mages to be useless. Yes. Now we all wait one certain ranger player to come in and spam how op mages are with 50% more cost of skills when he can sam q7. Khlays is already bs. Its a broken boss. Her movement as a boss is bugged and is either a must punish or / get teleported on the start where she is invincible....... and i ll have to be punished by the boss being garbage.

    You dont maybe have the bloodrune weapon crafted and collecting dust somewhere?
    There is a ranger insisting on using it, I want to see if its really worth it
    Also regarding your videos, did you consider taking into account the Q7 set being used with an attack speed buff?

    If it doesnt give him the next breakpoint its meaningless

    depending on the current enchantments in his gloves, if he went full plat it might be viable

    With pet and buff in group I reach 3.67 Attack speed with q7 atm, It means 9 EA for free per 2 seconds, the higest dps for all classes; with platinum enchantments on gloves, maxed runes on weapon and adornment and the craft on cloaks I think I can reach the same speed in solo too without pet and buff, but I don't know how many years i need for that:D

    Hi, Gour! I have 39.4% attack speed on gloves and you know how lazy I am when crafting. I just need to upgrade 1 rune to reach next breakpoint (2.73) with Q7.

    Unfortunately, I have half year trying to get the Bloodmoon Bow, but bad luck is on my side. Probably is the best weapon for my conc reduction build (better than Q4, I mean), but I highly doubt it surpasses Q7 with the same build: 7 EA + 7 buffed 7EA + Adrenaline + the same as before + Dive + 2 EA + Potion + 7 EA + All again...

    Plus, BM Bow is just plain damage, at least Q4 benefits Scatter Shot with bleeding, which I often use, even with Q7 to help party members with 20% extra armor break.
