After 2 hours of crit farming, I got a few 128Ks and a bunch of 127s lol

I also got a few 123-124Ks in Coral/Deadly

⚠️ What's New ⚠️:
1.) Banner Bearer
- Banner is a new scribing skill coming in Update 44. It's a toggle so it has to be slotted on both bars. Every 5 seconds it will refresh its buffs.

- Here, I am using the Flame Damage Focus which gives us 6% more damage to Damage Over Time (DoT) effects. All focuses, including Flame Damage, lower our Health, Magicka, and Stamina recovery by 33%, except for Immobilize focus which lowers by 40%. For the Signature, I am using Class Mastery which as an Arcanist gives us one crux (every 5 secs). For the Affix I am using Major Savagery/Prophecy.

- You could also put Heroism as the Affix and use Weapon Power Pots to be more cost-efficient, although you may occasionally run into Magicka sustain issues, especially in content where you might run Cruxweaver Armor or reapply buffs/Blockade often between trash packs.

- With the crux gen from Banner, you only need to Flail once for a 3-crux Beam now, as Inspired Scholarship and Banner will provide the other 2 crux. Occasionally, Banner will give you 2 crux (once mid-beam, and once while you refresh DoTs) so you don't need to Flail at all!

- Banner's 6% DoT bonus is providing most of the damage gain (4-5K). I did some tests with Banner only giving Crux and Savagery with no damage bonus, and it seems to only be about a 500-1K DPS gain compared to the old setup. So in raids, generally you might only want 2 people in Banner for the buff. However, for some AoE-heavy fights, hardcore groups might opt for all Arcs to be in banner for more beams.

- You can mess with combinations for Banner Bearer here: eso-hub.com/en/scribing-simulator

If there are any major changes to Banner, I will edit the description to include the changes.

Some clarifications about Banner (per Skinny Cheeks):

"Unless specified that it only applies to yourself, Banner Bearer applies its bonuses to yourself and the 5 nearest group members. This is a global rule for tooltips, like with other Scribed abilities.

Adjustments to Class Masteries is something that will be monitored since this script allows them to automatically fire. Notably with Nightblade, it checks yourself as the target when determining what bonus to grant. This is the same case with other Scribed abilities that have the caster as the target.

It is intended that only 1 Banner Bearer can apply to a player at a time and is determined by whichever banner was applied first. The exception is that you always get your own banner."

The opener is unchanged:
Stam dump to 35-40% Stam ➤ Prebuff Cloak and Scholarship ➤ Cast Scalding Rune (or Contingency) while running in ➤ Barbed Trap ➤ (Start Light Attacking now) Languid Eye and Blockade ➤ Flail ➤ Beam

I did Blockade then Languid here, but Languid ➤ Blockade is probably better? Small difference either way.

The fundamentals of the dynamic rotation itself are unchanged:
Refresh DoTs when needed, Beam at 3 Crux, and try to ult/beam during Off-Balance (OB) windows.

Despite the 33% less recovery due to Banner, sustain is actually not bad and managing low stam for Coral (I think) is a little easier. This is probably because we are beaming more and Flailing less.

However, because we are beaming more often, the OB windows can be awkward now. It used to line up perfectly with ults and beams (when using ult pots) but now OB can proc at awkward times (e.g., when you refresh DoTs, or when you're mid-beam).

If you can keep 100% uptime on Heroism, the ults will (mostly) still line up during OB. I say "mostly" because sometimes your potion will be ready mid-beam and you'll lose a couple seconds of Heroism, which can offset your ults. Sometimes you'll also barely miss the Arc's ulti gen passive "Implacable Outcome". The passive gives you 4 Ulti every 8 secs when consuming crux, but because we Beam ➤ Flail ➤ Beam, we miss the Ulti proc by 1 second.

Putting Heroism on the Banner (and using Weapon Pots) alleviates the Heroism uptime problem, but now you may not have 100% uptime on Major Savagery/Prophecy, which is fine. I got pretty much the same results with this.

For simplicity, you can ult as soon as you get it. But for those wanting to push a little more DPS, you may want to only ult if you can get at least a couple seconds of OB.

I eventually got an OB tracker addon (OdyHybridHeal) which helps a bit but I still got many 127Ks without it, so it's not necessary. Remember: OB lasts for 7s and procs every 22s.
