Transcripts

all right hello welcome to another video

so I just wanted to do sort of a little

PSA video here maybe everyone already

knows this fact and this is going to be

superus but I didn't know this until

this league and I was told and it's kind

of wild actually especially since uh the

Vault stri spam is such a such a

powerful archetype this league um so on

the dualist class here which we're

playing since I'm a Slayer um they have

this special forbidden Jewel so these

are the Uber only special forbidden

jewels that give you a new passive

rather than just letting you um yink one

of the other ascendes passives and the

dualist one is this fatal sorage node

now uh this is an very interesting node

so this reads final repeat of attack

skills deals 60% more damage non-travel

attack skills repeat on additional times

basically it's sort of like a mini

multistrike right Works similarly

however if we uh look at the multistrike

gem here you can see that the multi

strike gem has a very important line of

text that says that it does not work

with v skills now if you read this fatal

flourish node this does not have this

tag so what this means is that this

actually works with Vol lightning strike

for example and it's actually really

insane voling strike so basically the

way this works is if you have this set

of Britain Jewels uh whenever you cast

one voling strike you put two down and

then the second one you put down also

deals 60% more damage so it's like a 2.3

times just straight multiplier to your

damage uh this this forbidden dual combo

it's actually really insane so we can do

a little comparison here um so this is

without this on so here here's what the

normal one looks like with this MTX so

you can see you know normal looking Vol

strike right and now if we

wait for the projectiles to fade here

which will be about 10 seconds all right

so now if I go in and put this back on

and we use it you see there's a

different see you hit twice there um

it's kind of hard to see but I'll slow

it down here for you in the video you

hit twice you put two down and then the

second one is all Juiced up uh yeah so

just wanted to make everyone aware of

this I don't know I was not aware of how

this worked with a skill and it's uh

yeah it's really powerful turns out it's

just I mean Baseline it just doubles

your damage right cuz you put down two

Vol L strikes without any downside for

one and and it's not like it even takes

more time to use anything it feels

pretty much just the same as playing

without it uh so you just double up on

your Vol strikes and then also you know

the second one does more damage so yeah

it's what 2.3 times more damage to Vol

strike spam uh yeah so it's a very

powerful mully it's one of the things

that lets all really reach up into the

Stratosphere in DPS numbers this league

um if you're curious it's it's very very

doable to reach 1 billion DPS on

actually just straight up without even

po cheating um which is kind of wild of

course it's the IAL I mean your

computer's probably going to lag to to

Pieces before you reach that point but

usually by the time that happens the

boss is or whoever you're fighting is

already dead but yeah I just want to

make everyone know this The Forbidden

flame and flesh Jewels for fatal

flourish are really crazy this league

with Vol I strike of course they're you

know very expensive unfortunately it's a

very rare Jewels one the Uber only

special notables but uh yeah just uh I

don't know this was news to me at least

and it's uh it's quite something so uh

yeah uh fun league right fun League we

can do some real busted stuff all right

thanks everyone
