The More You Know - Elemental Honing, the best DPS perk in the game now.

[i]"Dealing Elemental Damage grants a Stack of Elemental Honing for 20 seconds for each unique Element used. Maximum of 5 stacks.
Gaining a Stack refreshes the buff duration. Duration cannot be refreshed at 5 Stacks.
Buff can be activated while stowed. Kinetic Damage does not trigger the buff.
Weapon damage increase at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks:
• Elemental Weapons: 2.5%|10%|20%|30%|35%
• Kinetic Weapons: 10%|20%|30%|35%|40%"[/i]
Note: Also, if you're wondering what that ruled bar is over the bosses health bar is...
That's a scalar with a visual overlay.

Too much work and extremely situational, might be the best on paper, but really not practical -
1 ReplyA bit too restrictive for my taste. I like running my regular subclasses and you really need prismatic to make the most out of honing.

Under the right circumstances, EH is definitely better than BnS. Unfortunately, a lot of players will see the setup as hassle and won't use this park over BnS and other damage boosting perks that are easier to proc and maintain. For the min-maxers, this perk is definitely better if you can consistently get it active! : )

Not very optimal for many situations as it requires a lot of setup unlike bns but its always worth having for future content where it may come in useful.

Only good on prismatic really

Very good on prismatic with minimal build crafting. Not really viable on any other subclass compared to other perks like BnS, Precision Instrument, Firing Line, etc. This is because if you’re not hitting x5, it is a DPS loss over competitive perks. It also has significantly longer start up lag than other perks, effectively handicapping its burst DPS. It’s goody though and props to Bungie for releasing a new damage perk that is actually balanced with top options.

8 RepliesJust watched the video the test was badly done as the first clip of BnS he didn't apply the jolt at the beginning which was why there was a much larger gap between the damage totals. Elemental Honing would only give a slight bump to total damage because the first rocket would get 35% unlike BnS which might not. If jolt was applied at the beginning of the BnS clip the damage difference would be negligble.
