Crabbok Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Silly question, but I can't find the older thread about this topic. I've been doing it for awhile now, I'll hit Overloaded Saber, cauterize, 2 more attacks, and then hit Zen and watch those burns crit and heal. But Why exactly do we do this again? Why would it be worse to hit Zen, THEN apply our burns? Is it because the initial hit consumes a tick, yet the burns do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarimRune Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Unless I understand it incorrectly: Zen just guarnatee a Crit on your burn effects. If you've already Crit on a Burn effect (and you've speced the Watchman) you will heal on those burn effects. If you see healing numbers before you hit Zen, that just means you already got a Critical hit and Zen doesn't do anything more. I don't think Zen does anything to modify an already in place DoT.

Because you want a full 3 stacked overload saber tick to crit, not a 1-2 stacked tick. Edited February 2, 2012 by DanChart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeetesSixFive Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Because you want a full 3 stacked overload saber tick to crit, not a 1-2 stacked tick. This, Rather have top # crit than lowest # crit. Just a min-max kinda thing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
