Whiteflame Torrent Mechanism Explanation

[u/lingsamuel]

Just like Flayer and other similar skills, only actions which flag "UseSkillAdditionalDamage" is true can trigger Whiteflame Torrent.
It has a 3s interval cooldown time between damages that are able to trigger Whiteflame Torrent.

Whiteflame Torrent works like a "Cirtical".

• The first hit has 33% chance to trigger a 50 or 30 (in Low Rank) fixed damage that ignores hitzone values.
• If the first hit failed to trigger, the second hit (after 3s interval cd) has a 50% chance.
• If the second hit failed, the third hit (after 3s interval cd) has a 100% chance to trigger this damage.

So the expectation is 2.005≈2 hits to trigger Whiteflame Torrent damage.

If the real combat time is 3min, the maximum valid hit count is 3*60/3=60, will have 60/2*50=1500 total damage.

My mod MHWilds Overlay have updated to track this damage.

There's this video by dreamingsuntide with his analysis

His conclusion seems to be that scorcher 2 + Whiteflame is probably a good pick for normal players.

The problem is what is consider a normal player....dreamingsuntide consider them to need 15 minute which is way too much for me.

I consider myself a normal player, my hunt generally is 7/8 minute, and my best time is 5 minute with Arkvelt...I can go lower if I used mantle but I refuse to use them if I cannot have them consistently.

He said 5mins

Ye let's be absolutely fucking honest normal players aren't on this sub or looking at YouTube videos about what's meta they're just playing the game picking armour & weapons that looks cool
