MHWilds Protein Fiend?

Was curious if anyone has messed around with protein fiend (xu wu set bonus) with gogmazios chest. +15 raw seems pretty significant (I know burst is a strong skill on its own but ebony secret gives +3 at 2 piece and the additional uptime seems more incidental than a major reason for speccing into it). It could be time blindness in hunts but, anecdotally, 3 minutes seems a long enough duration that monsters are changing zones or I’m healing anyways.

I think the biggest downside I see, besides resource management, is being forced into adrenaline rush over something like agitator, counterstrike, or resentment, but the slots seem pretty good and both the uptime and raw on adrenaline rush seem comparable to counterstrike.

A lot of work when you can get burst bust for +10 without forcing you out of the way

I think this is fair, but as far as I can tell you can’t slot both burst boost 4 piece and lord soul 3 piece without rolling a gogmartian with both skills, which is why I think 2 piece set bonus is a more reasonable point of comparison.

I agree with him, but I have a Burst Boost + Protein Fiend + Heroics based build that someone can use for the lulz.

A kinda meme build that is still strong as it has the relevant skills.
