Hi guys. I need advice on how i should develop my beloved maskeraith 'Nytemaire'. Now before i say anything more i'd like to make it clear that i've already read the past/previous posts about maskeraith ults and have a good idea as to what choices i'm going to make - i'm choosing Deadly Shadow cloak and Chaotic haze all thnx to this: https://www.google.com/search?&q=maskeraith+skill+site:forums.spiralknig...

Now my only real trouble is with quills. Which of the two ults is 'faster' and more 'efficient' in putting down things damage wise?

Also:
1. Does vengeful quill's yellow quills deal more damage than regular green one's? By how much?
2. Has virulent quill's explosion been fixed? By fixed i mean does it's poisonous explosions now deal additional damage? By how much?
and
3. The pro and con of both.

Thnx!

P.s - I use guns (alchemers) to do a lot of kiting and ussually single out targets after i've dealt enough damage to a herd of hostiles, seeking out the dying ones to quickly thin the heard. A quick quill to kill will be sure as hell be handy.

The yellow quills don't deal additional damage. What they do is spawn secondary green quills upon breaking, effectively doubling the potential damage. It also allows the poison to be spread unto more enemies.

The virulent quill explosions don't deal additional damage, they just make an area of effect that spreads poison. Virulent quills' poison is also stronger, which means it lasts longer and slightly increases heal damage, defence debuff and offence debuff.

Well...

I have Virulent Quills myself, got them before I knew that the explosions themselves were only like a mini-haze that did no damage. As 'haze' effects, they are most effective when other monsters pass through them, which is especially useful with Vortex bombs, because the spinning motion moves most of the enemies around across the haze. If you don't have a vortex bomb but use alchemers, then the other line should work better for you, as they pretty much increase the area of damage effect, slightly weakening a higher number of monsters with actual damage.
