Recipe for UOHS glitch?

So has any slayer figured out how to get UOHS to glitch 100%? I still get it randomly and I really want to guarantee it every time I use ICB. Please share your thoughts.

    To which glitch are you referring?
  • pizzaboyzpizzaboyz ✭✭
    The glitch that makes overhand strike hit +5mill crits.

    Even if someone has figured it out, i doubt this is the correct place to discuss that. Glitch discussion is technically looked as "cheating". You are using a glitch to gain advantage over the rest, so that's why i think this is not the correct place to discuss it.

    Funny thing is, it might not even be considered a glitch. It might even be considered a hidden passive. But for the sake of making it easier to understand, I am calling it a glitch. I am thinking that this RNG boost of damage is intended, but to replicate it 100% of the time is impossible for me. I do not think it is cheating as it may be an intended passive of ICB since tera doesn't like to mention hidden passives in abilities.

    ICB
    ICB Mechanics
    Before getting into ICB rotations, I would like to clarify ICB mechanics first.
    • As stated in the tooltip, ICB provides 29 power and 8% aspd for 20 seconds.
    • ICB activates (and the 20 seconds begin from) frame 7, and the total cast time for ICB is 44 frames.
    • ICB is a buff and therefore can be buff cancelled. By cancelling ICB, you can save 44-7 = 37 frames. (Around 1 second).
    • Cooldowns for HT, WW, KDS are reset. OHS becomes UOHS.
    • UOHS has significantly more range, a bonus damage multiplier, zero cooldown, and cool electricity effects.
    • However, UOHS does NOT benefit from powerlinks, chest skill line, and so on. It is a different skill to OHS.
    • The UOHS bonus damage is where things get weird.
    • On activation of ICB, a random damage multiplier is rolled.
    • The multiplier does not change during an ICB. IE, it only rerolls per ICB activation.
    • The multiplier can only be 1 of 9 values:
    • +20%, +50%, +75%, +100%, +125%, +150%, +175%, +200% and +225%.
    • Note these are not “total” multipliers. +20% does not mean your UOHS literally does 20% more damage than your normal OHS.
    • Instead, these are multipliers on the base OHS damage (2504). The total white damage will also be altered by the ICB 29 power.
    • In other words, UOHS can actually deal less damage than normal OHS if you roll a +20% multiplier. (The chestline and Evisc Powerlink gives your normal OHS 1.1 * 1.25 = 1.375x damage).
    • On the other hand, a +225% roll can mean your UOHS now does higher DPF than MS.
    • From testing, you do NOT have an equal chance of rolling each value. It seems that each mob has a different chance of rolling different values. Re-logging, porting, changing buffs, etc appear to have no effect on what multiplier you roll.

    ICB buff is randon, source : http://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/3675/slayer-pve-guide

    keep in mind that after slayer buffs in ktera, glyphs and chest roll will affect UOHS

    so it is random, i see...thank you for sharing that Ketoth.

    This is a clip of one of my DSU runs from my twitch stream. For those who do not understand what I mean by the UOHS "glitch", here you go:

    I think the UOHS multiplier is determined everytime you enter a dungeon. if you see big crit on first boss, then good news you will still do same crits on rest bosses unless you wipe or reset.

    I'm just disappointed about it being a "random" multiplier...Why must damage be a random thing? :(

    No

    Noob question, the UOHS is no where stated in ICB description... how did people figure this out in the first place? Just tests?

    Along with that, how many hidden passive like this are currently around in the game? Right now I just know about UOHS and archer's RF crit rate. But as a fairly new player, how would I know this without digging deep in forums and discussions?

    Not on the description per se, But it's on the description when you hover over the ICB icon on your buff bar

    From every bit of experience I've had with Slayer, I can tell you that every time you hit ICB your damage roll is completely random.

    I do not believe it to be a glitch, but an inherent trait of the skill. It's simply too complicated to be a glitch. What I mean is, when you click ICB, it's not either A: Broken Damage or B: Normal Damage, it will spit out one of many different damage rolls, all of which seem to be spaced out relatively evenly.
