Tested on Hydra I’ve yet to test in elite zodiac maps. Neptaris (with mythic set and speed set) when proced for me is doing ~700k or so lines on proc damage. Kraken sword (with mythic set, no other procs) is doing around 130k lines

When testing against orrick, neptaris (with mythic set) can do around 70% or so if it’s hp in 1 proc (with vengeful blood).

With Kraken sword (mythic set), it’s doing around 40% or so at best despite having a longer proc uptime.

Perhaps the whole intent is to be used with only kraken armor? Can you confirm if this is the case? @cinco

Would love to see other warrior players chime in with their experience as well.

Also, for mini bosses sword does only around 40% as well in one proc. Neptaris can still kill mini boss faster

Indeed - the full Kraken Arcane "set" was front of mind with the original release and with our most recent balance changes. We expect players will acquire more of these 81 Arcane pieces as time goes and we are doing our best to avoid painful nerfs in the future. We also do consider how much more powerful any Arcane gear can be given optional upgrades.

There are huge advantages of "guaranteed proc on charge" vs. the "active charge response" methods of the Zodias Mythics. Paying attention and capitalizing on the Mythic weapons proc stages should still be very powerful. It's really not our aim to bury the Mythics but to allow players a fair bit of choice among activation methods while not having to sacrifice tons of stats / DPS.
