Playing Cataclysm Druid I finally got a Xan rune for IgniXan, and at the start of the run I do Pulverize, Hurricane, then Cataclysm and it uses my full Spirit orb, so I know I’m doing it right, but I don’t see Overpower crits, so I believe it’s not snapshotting, or got “fixed”. Is it working for y’all? Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I cleared a Pit 75 last night. And I feel like I should be able to go higher once I learn the rotation.
Same problem here, hope is gonna get fixed soon…other do Tons of dmg, i am doing 25B if i get lucky
It still worked an hour ago.
Some things to consider:
Xan can be eaten up by things like Hurricane damage I believe, so you have to watch when Xan procs and hit Cata right away. If you have enough duration/CDR to have 100% uptime, you can snapshot both rune words fairly easily off to the side or something.
You can see the icons of the buff being up separate from the bar that fills. The xan buff looks the same as the bar that fills but the other one has a different icon.
A lot of times I won’t bother casting anything besides bulwark before snapshotting to make it easier since the damage is more than enough for anything other than high pits without worrying about anything besides the rune words. You don’t even really need to bulwark first to run around one shotting most things once you have both rune words but it’s easy to do without messing up.
Other things to know are that you can break the snapshot in various ways. Getting on your mount will break the snapshot. Zoning will break the snapshot. Even if you just walk over the line into another zone on foot with Cata up will break the snapshot. Cata will still be up, but it will lose the rune word effects after you walk into another zone and you’ll have to wait for it to fall off to set it up again.
edit: in the case of pits, I believe walking through the portal to another level doesn’t break it so you should just be able to walk through the entire thing only setting it up once at the start
Sometimes I’ve lost it just because I think I hit it just as the timer was running out since my current gear only gives me a few second window overlap if I don’t evade through something (which I almost never do since I one shot most things and just walk around).

I feel like after I got my defenses in a good place the Overpower Crit seems to happen more. My idea is that yes you are 100% to overpower, but taking damage will cause you to lose fortified. Since my last post, I have increased defense and I have noticed after getting a good snapshot that the orange numbers are popping up which is awesome, or even blue numbers which is not ideal but fine.
There is a bug with Soul Harvest (Witch Power) that if you want to use your first cooldown on a big group of enemies. It has a “bad snapshot” that will ruin your pit run if you use a cooldown with only one or two enemies such as at the entrance. So the bad snapshot is the first time you proc Soul Harvest by using an ability with a cooldown it MUST be near a big pack and then it will build off of that. Using a cooldown say at the entrance against one enemy will give the bad snapshot and you’ll never recover. It’s a bug but can be dealt with.
That’s interesting. I guess if you’re doing a high pit then you have to worry about snapshotting that first before setting up cata?
I only bothered going up to 100 and don’t think I bothered even doing a full cata snapshot when I did that pretty easily. I’ve never paid attention to soul harvest. I guess I should try it at some point just to see how high my numbers can go with just my mediocre gear.

Lol my highest is 75 although I feel like I can go higher. The Soul Harvest idea is from Rob on X . com. THE Rob.

I tried it once but didn’t notice a difference. I probably did it wrong though. I also messed up my first attempt at cata with hurricane and had to wait for it to go off to get xan into it.
I did manage to do a 105 but my boss damage seemed kind of low already at that level.
I’m still using a random 750 amulet that doesn’t have any + passives on it and not a lot of GA besides 1 star except on my weapon which I randomly found a decent 3x GA weapon early into t4.
I don’t usually care about pit anyway though so I’ll probably just make an alt or stop playing the season soon lol.

It only gives 20% more damage so pushing higher in the pit won’t be massive, but it’s worthwhile.
I dont see blue damage too. I think rune choose to show only orange damage, both for crit damage and overpower. I reach 800B orange damage. Fun to play.

You guys having problem with overpower which platform you use? I am on ps5, cannot reach more than 50B
I’m on Xbox Series X, it’s probably a gear issue for me, also I don’t have Bac rune yet. Paragon 210 and it hasn’t dropped.
Nesse exato momento está acontecendo de fazer o snapshot começa a dar dano e simplesmente do nada o dano some mais alguém ?
