Warning - Song contains explicit language
Think I missed a couple LAs, but overall pretty good parse. Im not sure if 110K is possible on console/controller (esp since we cant do the destro ult trick), but personally I dont think I can go much higher than this. Hope ye enjoy.
Having Trap instead of Degen on front bar is actually a better option (more damage), so Id recommend trying that instead if youre not using Medusa.
Build (6 Light, 1 Medium):
5 Perfected Bahsei
5 Perfected Siroria
1 Kilt
1 Slimecraw
Edit: With this setup, theres a fair amount of RNG, so expect a few outlier parses - especially if you crit (or dont crit) most of your impales.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment. If youre on PC, I think Smexs or Saligias 110K+ parses will be more helpful than mine.

Average: 122K
Magic sustain is really good so Im using Max Magicka food (single-stat Green food). Hurricane is also a great substitute for Bound Armaments.
I didnt wanna test Bahsei/Kinras but Im sure its solid too. May or may not be hard to use with such good mag sustain tho.
Skill priority from Charles:
Carve stacks ~ Bound Armaments ~ Stampede ~ Trap ~ Frag proc ~ Prey ~ Scamp ~ Spammable
Either gonna do Stamden or Stamcro next :)

There were a couple things I really wanted to cover that didnt happen to me during this run, Ill list them here:
1.) When Olms is jumping at 75%, 50% and 25% and theres a Sphere on the opposite side, try standing in the middle of the arena and move back and forth out of Olms jumps while hitting the Sphere. Its actually easier than it looks. You can check out some vAS World Records from DPS perspective and see. The main thing is to know how big the Jump AoE is and when he is landing back.
2.) IF you get the Llothis Cone and youre near the end of the cone AoE, you can out-range it by stepping farther out and away from the AoE. Only do this AFTER you let at least one of the Cones pulses hit you. If you out-range too early (before any pulses hit you) the cone will redirect to someone else.
3.) Try not to get hit by the red wave things (usually called bacon) that come out of Felms Bomb AoEs as they will Maim you (reduce your damage output).
4.) Olms Storm/Kite Mechanic happens about every 30 seconds. Luckily our Main Tank had a timer and called it out for us. But usually youd have to have a mental timer for when it happens. How I think of it is If it hasnt happened in a while, itll probably happen very soon. Not very helpful, I know. But If its been a while AND Olms does a Breath attack on the main tank, then hell very likely do a Storm afterwards.
These tips alone wont make you super good in vAS all of a sudden, but I hope they at least help a little!
Gear:
2 Slimecraw*, 5 False God, 5 Medusa (Front bar Medusa Inferno)
Food: Max Health/Max Magicka**
Mundus: Shadow
Blue CP Slottables: Fighting Finesse, Backstabber, Biting Aura, Deadly Aim
*I used 2 Slimecraw here as I wanted to use Inner Light over Camo Hunter (which gives the same buff as Slimecraw). Using Camo Hunter instead, and putting on 2 Crit Monster set pieces is probably better if you plan on only killing Olms and leaving the 2 mini bosses alive. Otherwise, the difference is pretty small.
**Max HP/Max Mag food will probably be best for most people since the trial has more damage output now with the CP changes. If youre going for a 4 or 5 minute score run, then the Eye Bowl parse food is probably the better option.
