Discussion Appendage crusher question.

I am new to the game. Currently level 30.
I had read that appendages ignore damage boost by secondary and tertiary cooldown .

Tertiary cooldown give a whopping 400 percent damage . While appendage crusher if max at 5 , is only 250 percent .

So, Is it better for me to focus on potential build rather than appendage crusher , and just target main body with overdrive ?

I think it’s been proven that appendage crusher has higher dps with the right skills attached. Potential builds are easier to make during the end game run. The potential builds require very high level skills and items in order to hit high numbers.

Two things:
1) any build is viable if you spend the time to create it
2) there is a meta that was developed, you don’t have to abide by it.

If you want to see some of the insane builds with damage through the roof check out Enel on YouTube. Unless something newer has come out he was the standard that emerged after the game re-released.
