If I'm in Fotw I obviously use sense weakness since it's there (and with the up coming changes I may be using it more), but normally I'm in LD and I don't usually twist sense weakness.

I may be way off base with this but in EE and lower reaper I have 0 difficulty with trash mobs.  My builds are usually designed to destroy mobs and I get as much AOE and knockdown in there as I can.  I honestly can destroy a mob quicker than I can a single target.

Mid reaper it seems to me a moot point.  Yeah the mobs are being held and yeah, sense weakness would do some extra damage...if the fucking mobs lasted more than a second.  More often than not the casters who hold mobs can destroy them just as quickly.

So sense weakness might be more for R8+ (and totally correct me if I'm wrong, that's why I'm asking), but my goal isn't upper reaper yet (eventually).

I normally twist Primal Scream, Wild and Malicious weapons because (and again, correct me if I'm missing something) my line of reasoning is I need to be bringing as much DPS as I can to the bosses, not the trash mobs - and with the exception of the occasional mini-bosses, the main bosses never get CCed where sense weakness would be worth it.

If there's a solid reason I should be using it that I'm overlooking and not factoring in, fill me in please.

Second question - do any of the bonuses to helpless victims work with casters?  As a caster I CC like crazy and would love to get that boost to my DPS.

I'll be honest, I really haven't spent a ton of time in epics as a melee, so this is basically the type of suggestion I was looking for since I'm not as familiar with the melee destinies.  Looks solid and giving it a test run.  Thanks

You talk a lot of shit for being a shitter. You should just roll up Crippey's Merciless Bloodbath build and git gud.

You got me.  I do talk a lot of shit about 'tards that just cut and paste the flavor of the month builds than pat each other on the asses and call themselves uber.

So, thanks for pointing me in the direction of a flavor of the month build as being an answer for tightening up my game

Thank you   I aim high, the goal is to not completely suck in R8

Might want to wash the ash off when you're done.  It's not very sanitary.

In a couple of weeks, we’ll be doing R5 either 3 levels I’ve (heroic) or 8 levels over (epic), so that won’t matter quite as much.
