Ultos set feedback

[maimu_chan]

I tested the Ultos set in v1.3 PT (Elementalist).

Change Log

@Zantai

• Ultos’ Tempest Set: increased Lightning damage modifier for Primal Strike to 140 and its Electrocute damage modifier to 410 / 3s. Increased Electrocute damage on the skill proc.
• Mythical Ultos’ Hood: increased % Crit damage modifier for Primal Strike to 30%

Build

Elementalist, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Result

Compared to v1.2.1.6, the sheet DPS increased by about 1.6%.

In practice, Ravager of Flesh kill time remained roughly the same (around 1 minute), so the change feels very minor in real combat.

Suggestion

The buff is certainly appreciated, but from my testing I did not observe any significant change in real performance. If I may make a slightly selfish suggestion, I would welcome a somewhat stronger adjustment. For example, adding a skill modifier that grants additional weapon damage to Primal Strike, or another change that results in roughly around a 5% overall performance increase, would make the difference more noticeable in practice.

Lightning damage modifier for Primal Strike to 140

This is fairly insignificant relative to the 500%WD. Probably why you don’t notice much difference.

Similarly on cadence flat damage boost doesn’t do too much.

[maimu_chan]

True, and with Cadence it feels even sadder, since only every third strike actually benefits from it
