Chromatic Blade

Wanted to try out this new mod.. What melee weapon has a good mix of stat/Crit?

[Zahkriin]

The weapon dosen't matter only the mods.

No.. For the mod to work, it needs to base off of your status chance.. "Status chance is increased by 50%".. If the base for that increase was 5%, it would be crap.. Therefore, the weapon must matter

It's a mod for Excalibur, which affects the status chance of Exalted Blade, not your melee weapon.

Ah well, I actually thought that the skill took its status chance from its weapon.. But it seems it has a base % of its own

Kinda. Exalted Blade is affected by some melee mods. If you plan to never use melee strikes [except for EB], then you could just pick any weapon and dump the usual mods on it. Else something like a Venka or other melee weapons that are worth spending crit / status mods on...

as the others said this mod only affects the ability wich is has unique stats seperated from your melee weapon..

little side note the +50% status chance from hte mod is addative and scales with powerstrengh.
synergieze good with condition overload and you can still use madurai to force IPS procs.
hower naramon focus is porbably better

Ok, so I did some testing with a build.. Some initial thoughts was that this mod makes you able to kill freaking anything in the blink of an eye, as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_37hM0aYBPw&t=44s The downside though, is that you are about as durable as a wet paper bag :)

After some tweaking I ended up with 166 duration 140 effeciency 46 range 181 power.. That enables me to hit 100% status, even though I had to remove about 40 power.. Removing the power let me end up with 472 armor 740 health and 300 shields.. Still not anywhere near a tank, but all the power gotta have a downside I guess :)

PS: I strongly suspect that this mod will see a nerf very soon.. If you need a reason, just look at the youtube link

wanna hear a realy funny thing?
EB can do that without the augment... it simply dosent need it do deal tons of DMG... won't get nerfed..

I haven't seen EB kill lvl 150's that fast.. Plus, the mod adds more aoe to it
