Grim Focus -- You like?

jellicles · August 2015

@Mush55 I think I am getting the hang of using the skill and I do like it, but the mechanics are clumsy. Well, to be fair, I am clumsy using it. Weaving in seven basic attacks is not so bad once you understand that the attacks need not be consecutive. To put it another way, one can weave in skill attacks around and/or between the basic attacks and get the proc to fire consistently. But then the user must remember to fire the spectral bow and then reset the skill. That is a chore if this one is in the midst of a boss fight or some heavy weight critter.

would be nice if you could hang on to the bow firing until you actually wanted to use it instead of wondering when the timer reset is, agree it takes some getting used to but it's not so bad on boss fights if your in a good group..

Can anyone confirm if the Minor Berserk buff lasts the full duration if the spectral bow is fired?

Currently, when you fire the Spectral Bow you must reactivate the buff. It only lasts its full duration if you do not fire the bow.

And to add to the topic, it is not hard to weaze 7 light attacks with, say Surprise Attack. Also Grim Focus is mostly only used for the buff. Relentless Focus morph adds Stam regen which is a must for any build really. And 8% damage increase, while it seems small, makes a big difference. I personally already love this skill as being essential in almost any build. Not to mention it is an Assassination ability, giving you more crit with the passives.
