Skull exploding in the phasegrasp Is this any good!

I have to admit I have not tried the Amara Character yet. I put this up for trade not really knowing if it is any good. So, the embarrassing moment is to ask the Amara experts is this any good! On paper and knowing how the Ghast Skulls are so powerful I assumed it would be pretty darn good. Thanks for the input everyone!

I think this anointment is bugged in that it only works with the stock Phasegrasp (not any of the augmented versions down the tree).

What appears to be nice about this Halloween-themed anointment is that it doesn’t require the user to be terrorized for it to work - it’s just free skull damage output.

It’s not that great and I’m unsure if they can stack if you have multiple items. Also the gungerang is lackluster, but you never know what someone might try.

I have one I really haven’t taken out for a proper spin yet. If it’s got the same gimmick as the one in BL2, it’ll work great with Amara because it’s way easier to nail the return flight when an enemy is Phaselocked in the air.

It works with any phasegrasp variant, but you need to have terror when you grasp (the description omits this, annoyingly). One skull for one terror stack, two for two, and three for three.

The anointment itself is not very good. Meh corrosive damage that takes a while to apply. I’d rather almost any other terror anointment.

This gunerang here says it is radiation… how can you tell it is corrosive or are you talking about the one you have used. Borderlands style gear that looks good but sucks…

How about something like this… would this supply the terror to activate the skulls

or this … it is both corrosive and radiation

The bullets of that gun do radiation damage. The skulls are a separate damage source and are corrosive.

They mean the terror skulls from the anoint deal corrosive damage. Was not impressed even when I got 3 skulls…

Ah okay I get it… yeah the math just isn’t there so no stacks or multipliers to give the bang “No explosions… NOW APOLOGIZE!” :acmhmm::v: peace :boom: out!

I thought it worked just fine. 3 skulls deal 3k damage each wasn’t half bad.

Late to the party here, but I was messing around with this anointment last night. For me the skulls were doing Cryo damage and not Corrosive damage (as mentioned in later comments). I was getting 3K-15K+ damage per skull; basically insta-freezing or outright killing mobs (was farming for a Skeksil at the time). It seems to me that the skull damage was based on the number of Do Harm stacks, though I am not positive.

The equipment I had with the anointment also had Cryo - I believe it was a grenade mod, but it may have been a shield with Cryo resistance/nova/spike dmg. I was expecting the skulls to put out corrosive damage but got Cryo instead, which I’m assuming came from my equipment and not the skulls base elemental damage as others have described.

Side note - if you use this anointment with the Eternal Fist Action Skill, each time a fist grasps a new target a new set of skulls gets emitted.

Need to use it a bit more to tell if its “good”, but I think it has potential.
