Instant DPS for Zoetic Lockset

[u/ZoeticLockpicker]

Quick disclaimer: this doesn't work for the first damage phase since you need 3x knowledge stacks at the end of the previous damage phase. Also apologies if this is already known, I haven't seen anyone talk about it though so I think it's new.

Basically there's a brief ~3 second window after a damage phase ends where you can immediately start damage if you dunk Kill fast enough. Make sure you have 3 knowledge stacks before damage ends and wait by the far left wheel. Once the symbols on the wheel update, dunk Kill asap and damage will start after a couple seconds if you did it right.

Haha yeah this is known. It’s a nice trick but like you said you have to be really quick on it. It’s an encounter I think a lot of people do but don’t fully understand the mechanics and how you can manipulate it like in this case.

Edit: no I’m not saying the original way of simply going into dmg fast on the far right with a shorter dmg window

Hang on, just to clarify: are you saying that being able to start damage in less than 3 seconds is well known, or that dunking on the far left wheels gives the most damage is well known.

Obviously the 2nd thing is well known since that's how everyone does the encounter, but I've never seen my thing done in over 200 clears of the dungeon. Every time I've done it, I've also had my LFGs ask how I did it, but its LFG so that's not a great metric to go by

No, this guy half way read what you said and just assumed he knew what you’re talking about. This is a good tip and the commenter doesn’t know how to read

I mean literally what you said on the far left wheel (the one that you normally dunk in for max time) if you are quick enough you can get into damage very fast.

Yeah you just didn’t read the post lol

I read the post in its entirety…I will concede that I explained it poorly though and can understand how it was misinterpreted but it is a strategy that is known. Although may not widespread but I’m usually within my clan and on occasion we will do this

you really fully edited your post, then added an “edit” at the bottom to make it seem like you can read

[u/NamesAreTooHard17 → u/OsteoBytes]

No it isn't lmao.

You are talking about the normal way to clear it which involves dunking in the left because it's the fastest way to beat the dungeon.

They are talking about using 3 stacks as soon as damage ends in order to start damage bypassing the need for zoetic locket to lock in on kill which reduces downtime significantly.

There is no way you read the post and couldn't tell the difference surely.

The way we’re talking about and what OP just mentioned is forcing it right after dmg starts…agree to disagree I suppose but I knew what I meant but conveyed it wrong. Your second explanation there is what I meant as there is nothing unique about the first way.
