Mother's Lament is like a shiny, fancy car, but the engine is a total letdown. It used to be a big deal with the 33% critical chance bonus, but now it's chump change. In Battlegrounds, it's just a weak 8.4% bonus – not great for PVP. Maybe it's still okay for a quick DPS boost, but personally, I'm over it. What about you? 🤔

Introduction

Welcome to the channel! In this episode, we'll take a closer look at one of the most appreciated to Star gems: Mother's Lament. In addition to its unique bonuses, we will also analyze its less known and equally unique weaknesses, which can largely change your final rating of this gem. As we all know, right after the introduction of this gem, there was a lot of hype around it. Not including the second bonus, which is rather not very interesting, but the 33% additional critical chance was huge. Especially in times when we had less access to other things that added this type of bonus, Mother's Lament was just perfect for classes that struggled with low critical chance. But it has some serious issues, especially for PVP.

Unique Bonuses and Weaknesses

Mother's Lament was appreciated for its unique bonuses, but it's equally important to know its weaknesses. The gem adds an additional 28% to critical chance at rank 8. However, the gem doesn't work with VUS, which significantly extends its duration and poses a problem.

Unique Bonuses and Weaknesses
- 33% additional critical chance
- No compatibility with VUS, leading to duration issues
- Impact of Strife debuff gives only 8.4% bonus in PVP

Battlegrounds and Strife Debuff

The gem, when it comes to its performance in Battlegrounds, doesn't hold up its initial appeal. The Strife debuff cuts its bonus by 70%, resulting in only an 8.4% bonus – a far cry from the original 28%. Even at rank 10, the max achievable bonus is only 99.6%, with an uptime of roughly 30%. This raises serious doubts about the profit and viability of using this gem for PVP.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Mother's Lament, while still a good gem for getting more DPS in the first 10 seconds, poses significant issues for PVP. The drawbacks of duration bonuses and lowered uptime make it a less profitable choice compared to other gems.

Key Takeaways
- Mother's Lament still offers good DPS in the first 10 seconds
- Not recommended for PVP due to duration issues
