Comet dmg cheev help
Ellos

So far I have not figured out the skills needed to make this comet dmg pop
I did get to see a few suggestions
one being getting the skill that the comet does more dmg if only hitting one target
then just 10% dmgs
no clue on the rest..
elementalist wasnt there for me to test during beta.
so no clues

post back if someone can assist

also need the reach lvl xp one, but seems this might just be solo + guardian 4 idk
never gotten that level reach

hugs and hopes

Any Upgrade that increases Mantra bonus: Various other upgrades will make this relevant, and besides, you might get lucky and toss out a Comet of the same element as your current Mantra. But the below options are stronger if they're available.

Robo Wizard: Each HIT of Trinity and/or Comet increases Trinity/Comet damage by 25%, stacking up to 3/5 times (5 requires additional investment in upgrade path). The single largest increase of damage for Comet (and Trinity I guess), though it requires consistent upkeep.
Warning Blast: Casting Trinity increases weapon and Comet damage by 35% for 6 seconds
Meteor: Using Trinity causes your next Comet to deal 100% increased damage and be 50% larger. Further investment into the upgrade path has the single target +30% you mentioned.
Critical Burst: Increases the crit chance of Trinity and Comet by 30% and increases their critical damage bonus by 50% (for a base value of 1.75, I think). Honestly this is a BIG ONE and you need to not sleep on it if you're after the achievement. I personally would not suggest getting Turbo ray in the path despite its increased crit damage, but maybe I'm weird for that. I just never have a good time using it, I get too used to the arc+travel time I guess.
Elemental Resonance: Increases all damage a target takes by 20% for each element they're affected by. Synergizes lovingly with Power Infusion (below), or with Infused Weapon's Erratic Bolts. Even just one tick of 20% bonus damage is nothing to sneeze at. Elemental Favor increases elemental crit chance and damage by 10%, which ties in well with Critical Burst.
Power Infusion: Increases Mantra's bonus and causes half of your total Mantra bonus to affect the other 2 inactive elements as well. Further investment lets Trinity and/or Comet deal mixed damage, benefiting from the active AND inactive bonus. While not as direct an increase in damage, the mixed bonus damage from this upgrade can add quite a lot of bonus damage to Comet, if no other options are presenting themselves.
Radiance: The first upgrade obviously does nothing for Comet, but in its upgrade path is a perk that increases Trinity and Comet damage by 40% against enemies that are within 7.5 meters or closer.

Additionally, Perfume (+20% explosion damage, -30% explosion radius) and Banana (+25% explosion damage vs. single target hits, -25% against group hits) are items that give huge boosts to Comet as well.

Do you want to reach it for the achievement, or in general? For the achievment, just focus on a trinity build like Robo-Wiz, Critical-Burst, Inner Fire, etc. and with the first two of these alone + some items you should easily hit over 1k.
Other than that, I hate Comet builds. Trinity was kinda meh before the update, but turning every element into chain lightning is so damn fun now and just wrecks.
Comet on the other hand doesn't have a big radius, multiple projectiles or ricochet, like most other offensive Skills and most Perks that buff Comet, buff Trinity to the same amount or more. So comet nevery really pays for me.

For the Level 15 Achievement slotting a singular Corrupted area into the route should the trick (at least on G4 I always reach 15 with my preferred route).

Canyons -> Quarry (Leave through the yellow area. For S you have to stay above 50% on the Timer Bar and clear the enemies in the room before the normal half-way arena. Just clear as normal, dip into the room and speed back to yellow) -> Pit -> Aqua -> Haven -> Distric -> End

for the cheev, I dont like playing elementalist
I do like co-op with them but myself solo I dislike the class, its not my least fav, thats guardian

ah corrupted areas make sense but does it mean a specific difficulty level to get that much xp? seems easy or such would be low xp

and explosion dmg = comet?
waah
if I knew that...

and yeah I dont like comet builds or this class just want that darn cheev
only hard one left is S guardian 4 and that well i might have to do solo as co op pugs are terrible

Literally a guide on the front page of the guide section listing out details. What more could you possibly need?

excuse me?
I think you need to march on out of here with the attitude kid
your not welcome here

I asked fans not a guide
only idiots use guides right out the gate
I bet you beat games really quickly with google and walkthroughs right?
we didnt have internet when I was your age child

remove yourself from trolling and flamebaiting
I was asking players not you and your lame guide which doesnt help and I have read.

You're asking for information on an achievement that a guide lists out. If anything, it seems like you want your hand held and told exactly what to do without any actual input from yourself.

I didn't have the internet when I was a child either. Although it would appear you were a child before schools taught proper punctuation, sentence structure and syntax.

If you read it, you'd know what to look out for during your run to get Comet over 1k damage. But instead, you're busy throwing a hissyfit and insulting me left and right, while busy trying to gatekeep a thread. I'm not sure who pissed in your cereal this morning, but don't take out your personal issues on others. You'd think someone older then 35 would be mature enough to know that.

You know how I know the guide is effective? I used it to get the achievement earlier this month. Sorry you lack the reading comprehension. Have fun with whatever you're attempting to do here.

The guide I linked does show you everything in the game currently that Elementalist can use to increase Comet's damage output. According to everything you've posted, this is the information you seek.

Kind of childish that you'd rather go "REEEEE" then be thankful someone went and linked you the information you were looking for. But I guess some "adults" like yourself never learned how to be grateful towards others that bring them the fish they cannot obtain themselves.

You came in here and attacked me kid
I am 46 years old, not a child like you

When you post, try not name calling or belittling someone
that proves that you trolled, and arent paying attention

read the others posts
see how they formed it?
they list skills and even ask if I want this for cheev or not
one even said he dislikes comet builds, which again none of this is in any guide kid

information I seek wont reside in guides and walkthroughs

do enjoy going back to point and click games and just googling puzzle solutions ?
do you play games without googling ?
or using guides?

well maybe try that.. its more fun
smarmy fart heading your way

oh that stinks!

go now kid, remove yourself from this thread or I will get steam to for you.
