Mod edit: Moved to Q&A

Hi! want to ask some question
HToSW+HPoF
1.If the ring(now my is 33%) pop at the pull(~about 1sec later), should I use PC ASAP?
or just go 4stacks and spam all AM than use PC?

2.Still use AM during burn pahse? or just use it when I have 3 Missiles?

thx

1.) Yes. PC ASAP. This gives you more chance to get MoD debuff on PC (instead of the boss) but also means your Crystal is up while the ring buff is active.

2.) Yes.

First thanks for reply and I have another question!
Here is the wcl
*our ilv is the same, no hero proc and my weapon ilv is 736
*only look at opening burn phase

1. Use PC after 1 AB, PoF proc on the Boss

2.Use PC after 4 AB

Founds that 2 is more dmg than1. Probably beacuse I use two AM on Boss, so my 4-stacks AB only hits twice on PC....?

Cant figure out what problem is

I wouldn't PC at low AC stacks.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but at higher ring ilvl don't you want to fit PC within the ring regardless of what your AC stacks are?

No, the higher the ring ilvl the more you gain by syncing your CDs (AP/PC) with ring usage but that doesn't mean drop it at low stacks. PC is 12 seconds and the ring is 15 so you have time to build up charges even if you were low when its popped.

[Kirielle]

Fair enough. Just wanted to clarify that building up to 4 stacks before dropping PC isn't necessarily a good idea if that means part of your PC falls outside of ring, which will absolutely happen if ring is popped on pull (damn rogues).

[Curnivore]

Yeah in the real game some of the pulls are just bad for PC. It's especially bad if both the ring is popped and the target is moved into position.
