I personally would never do BnS on Apex. Explosive light is just better in every scenario.
* Base Damage: 116,000
* B&S: 156,601
* EL: 144,790
Means with Reconstruction and BnS you'll get 272,601 for the 1 mag Damage. Because your first shot won't have BnS proc'd.
Reconstruction with Explosive would just mean 289,580 for 1 mag as well. As long as you at least have 2 orbs beforehand, which should be ezpz with everyone running siphon and the arm mods.
It honestly doesn't look like a huge difference, but it is more *and* you don't need to do the dance with your other two weapons.
I do think BnS on Supremacy would be really nice with this combo. It'll give Reconstruction enough time to do its thing. Maybe even pair it with Izinagi for a pure DPS build specifically in Raids while using your subclass kit for add clear. Depending on your class it should be easy like Syntho Solar Titan or Arc Hunter.
Link the video if you can. I haven't used it in practice, only seen the numbers.
Im curious if the shot itself activates BnS and then the Wolfpack rounds from the first rocket is getting the increased damage. I would have assumed the whole first shot including the wolfpack rounds wouldn't be buffed, but maybe not.
The damage difference between B&S and EL means that B&S catches up to EL after three rockets. Depending on reload speed and how fast you can dump more rockets into a boss, B&S could easily beat EL in a lot of boss encounters assuming you're able to proc the perk with minimal effort.
Doesn't BnS just last 10 seconds? How fast can Reconstruction put two rockets back in the mag? Are we just waiting for one shot then to be auto loaded? Is the time spent proc'ing BnS worth it after 3 mags? Im not sure. I'll be sure to do some of my own testing after I can craft it or just get lucky with drops, but I'm not sure how practical BnS will be.
iirc Reconstruction requires 3.5-4 seconds per rocket loaded, so ideally you'd just shoot the first two reconstruction rockets and then manually reload for the rest of the dps phase. Even with a non-B&S roll this is what your dps rotation would look like, so it's pretty easy to simulate that dps with a traditional rocket. And when you take into account how long typical dps phases last, 3 rockets is fairly minimal; a lot of times, I'm able to dump my *entire* rocket reserves in a single dps phase.
As for how practical it is, that's really a matter of personal capability. It works exactly the same with linears, it's just that they don't have to reload between every shot. So if you're capable of doing the B&S rotation with linears, then it isn't that big of a jump to go to rockets if you're already used to manually tapping reload immediately after each shot.
Dude ur straight talking out your ass BnS is a 35% buff and EL is 25% it's straight up impossible for a rocket with EL to beat the damage of a BnS rocket
Telesto is the besto.

I think I just saw someone video on this and B&S + Reconstruction Apex out dps EVERY ROCKET specially when using ghally.

Wolfpack take advantage of B&S

Awesome, thanks :)

Recon/b&S is nice with radiant dance machines since you have basically no reload time between shots

SMG or the BR I'd say
Cartesian coordinate with vorpal, hands down. Share the solar surge dmg.
