The new elder slorm reaper is pretty busted

[paveljanik [CZ]]

it might be the highest dmg reaper. max elder slorm right now is over 177.000, 25% of that is 44250 damage that is added to your attacks. I´ll grind it to 42000 kills to find what the woke version does.

Exactly my thought when I looted it tonight. Although 177k max elder storm?

yea it´s gonna be a big grind but so is to get any slorm reaper to awakened version.

[FPDevilTech]

which one is the new? just looted "the most powerful sword" finally, so its not the best weapon anymore?

Its the Elder Staff of the Slorm Temple...requires alot of work get your Elder Slorm up to Cap 177303 and 25 % of it gets added as damage to your primary and secondary.
So even trough you get Ultimatum Multi. your ult itself is weaker than with the most primodial powerful sword.
Primary and secondary is your low end dmg slightly higher but your high end is alot weaker~
Compareing normal vs primordial~ so things can change^^

There's a high investment to hit that point but yes, it's kind of absurd. It's hard to say if it's busted though because that extra damage is capped (even if the cap is very high) and it's added as plain skill damage, which I don't believe benefits from any percentage modifiers.

It's hard to say how well it will scale, in other words. The ancestral ability it provides is absurd as well, depending on what Ultimatum you're using.

That all said, I still don't think it's the best Reaper though. ; )

It's meh. Most powerful are much better because of multipliers.

The Primordial is:

Primordial Benediction
Whenever you pick up Elder Slorm, you trigger an Elder Inner Fire, dealing X Additional Damage.

Additional Damage is equal to 25% of your current Elder Slorm.

Primordial Malediction
Inner Fire Max. Charges is set to 5.

Inner Fires rotate on the same orbit.

Right now, with a max player level of 50, it's ridiculously overpowered. However, it's unknown what damage and health ratios will look like once the final chapter is released and the player reaches level 100. As it is, it doesn't scale well at all and it requires a huge investment to maximize it's current damage potential.

with some testing and getting max elderslorm as well as awakened version, I have to say it´s not the strongest, not by far. it is decent but the damage is nowhere near the most powerful bow/staff/sword.

[GaviJa]

yes because you don't get reaper damage multi

+ it "only" works with primary/secondary skills - with my huntress turret build it doesn't help at all because its a support skill // only spam space to place your turrets, afk, win

I played around with turrets for a while and they are good. but tumble is just faster. level it up a bit and see the difference.

Based on the time I spent with the Primordial version at max Elder Slorm, I'm guessing it's probably around the 4th or 5th most powerful Reaper at the moment. It's undeniably overpowered early on, so it's awesome for low/mid level characters, especially if you're using damage-focused Ultimatums. It has a lot of appeal for twink characters and speed clearing all but the hardest stuff.

Pros: It's easy to use and it's fairly gear/attribute agnostic compared to some of the others, which is nice. It's somewhat competitive with the damage of even the most powerful Reapers right now, and if you invest heavily into defensive stats and +Inner Fire damage on your gear spread, it's rock-solid.

Cons: It does not scale very well due to its damage potential being capped, since both Elder Slorm and Ultimatums are capped, and the bonus damage only applies to your primary and secondary abilities, so it's undoubtedly going to fall behind a lot of the other Reapers later on. I also find it to be incredibly boring to use but that's just my opinion.

its not strong at all......

it 1 shots everything....but slow as hell....Nothing single target is strong in this game...when you gotta kill 500+ mobs a floor..

[boombaclock]

Most of the power of this staff is wasted because no mob in the game has that much HP

your over hitting mobs at the cost of clear speed.....

no wonder so many people think getting primordials takes to long....
