Grim Focus and morphs performance in Maelstrom
Supernatural
✭✭✭✭
Even though I have mentioned this issue in some other posts concerning Grim Focus, I wanted to make a different discussion for it.
So, with the new changes to the Grim Focus ability, the stacks you have built will now remain when you recast the ability or if the ability runs out. Exiting combat combat though removes all stacks. In Maelstrom Arena, every time white portals spawns and there are no others adds alive during that point you are technically out of combat, and thus all stacks are being removed. So let's say you have a spectral bow ready. When you finish fighting a wave of mobs and the next ones are about to spawn, you are gonna lose your bow proc, because during those 3-4 seconds when white portals spawn, you are out of combat. For the average player, this might not be that much of an issue, but for players who are pushing for the highest of scores it is extremely discouraging, as it decreases your overall performance in vMA. I would like to see this addressed as soon as possible. Here are the videos, including both morphs of Grim Focus:

rokrdt05✭✭✭✭This is an occurrence for any ground based dots as well and has been present for awhile.
Even if you let's say 5 seconds left on Elemental Blockade, it'll immediately disappear.
I doubt it'll change.Server: PC - North America - Daggerfall/Ebonheart

Kihamai✭✭✭✭Yes this needs addressed pls. Ran a maelstrom run to test out my magblade this patch and the continued disappearance of my Assassin's Will procs in-between the mobs spawning was annoying.pc na | trash tier0 -

✭✭Are we not even going to mention how broken Grim is right now? The fact it only charges after the light attack reaches it's target which can sometimes take 1+ secondFlawless Conqueror ~ Grand OverlordShe/Her ~ PC/NA | I record things for fun and for info3 -
Supernatural✭✭✭✭Grim focus was not even mentioned in today's patch notes. At least can we have an update or something that you are actually working on it and we will not have to wait until June

Supernatural✭✭✭✭I honestly do not understand why we cannot have just a simple update on this. Please let us know if you are planning on addressing this anytime soon, I do not think I am asking for much.

The acknowledgement was about the delayed stacks of merciless resolve, not about how it performs in Maelstrom Arena. I suppose we wait for the patch notes.Maelstrom Arena - World's First Nightblade 600k Score - 02/18/20170
