Facet of purpose usefulness

[raven crypt]

I've seen countless people say that purpose is one of the best facets but honestly I can't see why. Making orbs is not the problem, the abysmal 5 second duration on restoration/woven mail is.

Like how is that even worth it for all the setup required to make orbs and then actually run into the enemy to pick up the orbs

[red pumice]

because normally you make so many orbs that the small duration doesn't matter

if i could slot in purpose or protection, which one would you recommend?

[red pumice]

and people are running ability spam builds that allow powerful attraction to be more used, picking up all surrounding orbs

[red pumice]

if the content isn't master and above purpose, if above (master, GM and contest) i'd remove 1 fragment and slot in both

also it depends on what my super is

cuz if it's void then purpose is kinda useless because overshields are kinda useless

hmm ok, im on Ruin (thinking of slotting that one out), dawn, balance, courage, and solitude. on a getaway artist bleak watcher devour build. prob gonna run nova bomb/needlestorm or song of flame

[red pumice]

your build usually doesn't make tons of orbs so i can see why you'd go for prot

[raven crypt]

will be on velocity baton

(when i get it to drop)

nvm them, purpose if needle/song, prot if nova
