Does Pillagers Prophet stack with Cryptcanon Vestments?

Poss

I currently run Pillagers on my healer in PvP (unconventional I know but believe me it’s OP) so I’m wondering if it would stack with the new mythic?

I haven’t tested it myself but I believe a clarification was in the patch notes that you do not get bonuses from sets that rely on ulting if you wear cryptcanon.

Oh ooooof

Poss

Anyone happen to have a link to the patch notes so I know exactly what it negates? Or is it ALL ult based sets?

“Cryptcannon Vestment replaces your ability to cast Ultimates. You will not be able to proc other sets that rely on casting Ultimates, such as Lamia’s Song and Balorg.”

if you were running in a trial group, cryptcannon wouldnt really do much honestly

as it divides your ult across the other group members that would be 500/11 per person, or about 45 ult per person (if cast at max ult)

pillagers cast at 400 ult would actually return around 100 ult to each group member, so for a trial setting this is arguably better

if you were in a small group though cryptcannon could be really good

in a 4 person group, 500/3 is about 166 ult per person, which would more or less allow the other group members to double cast ults

it would be even stronger if you were in a small scale cyro group (2-3 players), that would either be able to give the other player 500 ult, or 2 other players 250 ult if you used at 500 ult (i think there have been some people doing this kind of thing with a dk and pocket healers to cast corrosive and then immediately cast dragon leap while still buffed by corrosive)

Yeh man I run PP in trials (or rojo depending on what’s needed) I was asking for PvP. Pillagers is a very underrated set on support in PvP, no one ever runs it and it’s worked great for our group. I was hoping to pop on vestements for even more 😅

Necrotech_Master

yeah i could see that lol

i think the same rule could apply though, small scale group = cryptcannon, large scale/ball group = pillagers

if your running in a small group, you could do something like arkassis + cryptcannon if you wanted to be an ult battery for your group (since those would stack)

Is there another support in your group who can wear cryptcanons? I wonder if the ult from cryptcanons would hit you and let you gain ult for pillagers and then the ult from pillagers hit them and give them more ult for cryptcanons... I haven't tested that.

that would work, but pillagers has a 45 sec cooldown, so you cant gain ult too fast you will be waiting on the cooldown

Yup, someone is running it which is what game me the idea to go farm the mythic myself
