My phone really hates the spelling of Nebby apparently . <| sep |> Did you brine it ? <| sep |> I had 850 rip relic equipped , and then i got a bonus roll of 890 swipe relic from Nythendra M . The relic calculator told me that 890 is an obvious upgrade , however sims were disagreed with me with an overall ~ 2 k loss . So I have some questions 1 How do you sim items that you have not equipped yet ? 2 What are the best places to farm Rip Relics ? My guild has only EN HC and ToV N on farm . Maybe some specific m that you were going over and over ? Not so important if you don ' t remember from top of your head 3 Also , how exactly do some aspects of pandemic work ? I read Xanzara guide but I am still quite confused . Specifically is it always good to refresh when your dot enters pandemic state ? 3 a Do you absolutely have to let the old Riprake finish ticking before applying new one if new one is weaker ? 3 b Example so say that I applied rip with BTSR ticking 100 damage every cycle . It has 5 seconds left and within pandemic range now . Now I have BTSRTF and I apply rip . So the extra 5 seconds that will be added on top of new rip will they tick for 115 or 100 damage ? I . e . will i have 21 seconds of fully buffed rip BTSRTF or will part of it only tick with BTSR ?
