I can’t say as I’ve used Savagery before, much less as 2H Melee…So this hasn’t come up before, and I can’t seem to find it on either wiki.
If I use Savagery, and Upheaval, then Upheaval should trigger all the time, yes? So if I bind something to Savagery, will it never occur, because Upheaval is always replacing Savagery? Or, because I’m still USING Savagery, and it’s getting replaced after I “use” it, will it still go off? And if I link something to Upheaval, how will that fit in? Assuming, obviously, that I use a 2H Melee weapon.
Just hasn’t come up on me before, so I’m curious. I prefer to plan Devotions before starting builds, so… This came up.
OFC, I have little business starting yet another new build, with so many already partly done… Shrug.
Hello.
Feel free to bind anything to Savagery and Upheaval, they will trigger any celestial powers.
Also, if you bind something 100% chance on crit to Upheaval, you will guarantee activate it when Upheaval procs ea each time when Savagery crits.
It works very good with Falcon Swoop on Savagery and Blind Fury on Upheaval, for example.
Other way, you will lower numbers of Uplheaval procs if you invest some points to WPS passives, like Feral Hunger or Zolhan’s Technique, coz their crits do not activate Upheaval.
I really do not know much about Upheaval-replacing-Savagery, maybe some one with more knowledge can tell you more about it.
So then, does that mean Upheaval isn’t a WPS? I was under the impression it was. If it isn’t a WPS, then if I bind something to each, both should still work just fine, because it isn’t replacing Savagery, it’s going off at the same time as Savagery, which is rather different. That would explain the 100% activation on it…
Upheaval isn’t a WPS, no. It activates off of all Savagery critical hits, including other WPS which can activate off of Savagery itself. Binding skills to both Savagery and Upheaval is a great way to double dip as such off devotion skills and have them bound to the same effective ability.
Also worth mentioning, devotions with “%chance on crit” activation conditions can be bound to upheaval so that they are only invoked during crits instead of using up a slot like savagery where they are blocking a skill with a “%chance on attack” that would be inefficient if applied to a crit skill like Upheaval.
Upheaval only replaces critical strikes. So all critical strikes of savagery will be replaced by Upheaval. All non critical hits will be normal Savagery.
