2 second. The explosions will hit other targets procced by the barber too, amplifying its damage.

If it’s a single boss though, then a 2 second barber is much worse.

If you’re fighting trash, even with a 4 second barber you’ll explode the group of mobs when your damage exceed’s their health anyways.

I think if you’re not going to carry two barbers, a longer one is better for universal gameplay.

There is no reason to pick a 4 second over a 2 second, as you will continuesly proc it anyways with edngame gear

Mine is like 3.2 second with 14x dmg multiplier

Edgemaster perfect roll is 20x

So 1 second more on barber is actually a big damage difference


Edgemaster gives 20% bonus so that equates to a 1.2x multiple, not 20x

Especially for t90+

The explosion after 2 seconds also gets absorbed by other monsters tagged with a crit, amplifying it's own damage. This way you will have insane damage potential.

There is no reason to ever pick a 4 second barber over a 2 second one, maybe when you have extremely low crit chance it can be better, for leveling, but definitely not in the end-game.

I'm gonna stop this discussion now since it's kinda annoying that you have to explain very basic stuff

Where's the source for the double amplification? That was just a speculation, no?

And yeah just stop talking if you aren't going to discuss in discuss section :rofl:
