then wind to reset deafening screech stacks

fading tide
#

What about the tree guy? Anything special to do as a tank other then bring the boss to the healing add for cleave dmg?

strong forum
#

focus the add

#

dont cleave it

#

cleaving it is what kills you the most

#

cuz itll die late and heal all the adds

severe steeple

this boss is gonna be such a wall next week

strong forum
#

yeah 100%

Lust, aegis, spell block and kite

south zealot

#

you cannot tank those mobs on fortified especially if theyre raged

sick sentinel

how am i supposed to pull that, is it all yellow mobs in the area besides the bear?

quartz mist
#

easier % then pulling those

south zealot
#

0 clue

strong forum
#

no you can just run around them

south zealot
#

ive never seen those bears pulled in that way

quartz mist
#

^

strong forum
#

in all my runs

#

ive pulled all bears

#

so far

loud patrol
#

tbh i have never

#

i prefer wolves

sick sentinel
#

im pretty sure they are in the pins here

quartz mist
#

just slap middle room and wolves

strong forum
#

wolves are more dangerous now imo

south zealot
#

usually i see people pull the 4 yaks or the 4 pack on the right

sick sentinel
#

pika routes for pugs anyway

craggy pilot
#

are bears better than the bulls? 🤔

strong forum
#

this is what i do

cinder storm
#

Bears are safe with speed buff and not sitting on that bleed

quartz mist
#

ew

strong forum
#

skip straight to fenryr

#

then do 5 wolves

#

ah actually this

craggy pilot
#

oh you do wolves + bears+ bulls

south zealot
#

5 wolves then 2 pack with boss yep

quartz mist
#

i do all wolves like a legend

craggy pilot
#

thats a lot of % though

strong forum
quartz mist
#

and main room middle

south zealot
#

i dont really think it matters

#

halls timer seems pretty easy

it is

south zealot

Someone always autoruns and pulls the dragon for me

Don’t the wolves hit really hard? Got globalled by them on a 16

loud patrol

i have only this, and i take 4 bulls if we manage to skip dragon

#

and 5 bulls if we skipped the early sentinel

south zealot
strong forum
#

yeah they do a massive tank buster Patty

quartz mist
#

wolves are cake

south zealot
#

shield wall on pull slam them for like 10 seconds then gtfo

cinder storm
south zealot
#

or they should be dead if dps slam cds

quartz mist
#

druid vortex , slap em

strong forum
#

wolves requires heavy CDs and kiting

#

so do bears tbf

south zealot
#

or talent into spear yep

strong forum
#

the tank buster they do now slaps quite hard

#

bears you need to reset your stacks

craggy pilot
#

didnt you include wolves in your pull also?

strong forum
#

i do, but you usually have stuff for them there

#

you need the space for the boss

craggy pilot
#

i didnt rly have many issues with wolves, but highest halls i did so far is a 13

loud patrol
#

i might do wolves but talent spear

strong forum
#

its not an issue

#

just surprising

mellow quartz
#

the good thing abt bears is you do them after the boss same with bulls and you have the speed buff so you can just run in a circle around them

craggy pilot
#

ye it got me once when i pulled 2 on boss

mellow quartz
#

if you are close enough they dont charge you

craggy pilot
#

but was more because i didnt have block up i think

loud patrol
#

talent spear and ranged with titanic throw wicked

strong forum
#

hell naw

bold turret
#

So the wolves you just pull the 3 packs after the boss runs away slam SW and LS and then gtfo?

mellow quartz
bold turret
#

Or pull the 2 wolves onto the boss?

mellow quartz
#

I use all CDs on the 5 wolves

cinder storm
#

5 wolves was safe yet spicy-ish on a 14

#

I respect bears more

mellow quartz
#

for bears and bulls, do them after the boss and you have the 150% speed boost. if you pull them all and then run in a circle around them (inside 8 yards) they wont hit you much and wont charge and slow you

havent changed off HR yet for any content while i learn it

but you can probably drop it on a few raid bosses

never in m+ with these haste amounts

on raid absolutely you go ITF

think there are still some places you want HR

ye

chrome falcon

i thought HR was better damage ST?

strong forum
#

some bosses youre also omega alone

chrome falcon
#

yeah

ITF is better dmg if you can guarantee 5 stacks

#

if you cant, HR is infinitely better

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

i don't like ITF on dathea

south zealot

some bosses are so fucking big uou dont even get itf sometimes

because you're so spread

block downtime

even with Bolster, you get downtime on block

wanton night

yo, how do prots use the ruby whelp trinket? do i target an ally so it keeps healing me when it procs?

slim dove
#

still not guaranteed to proc what you want

wanton night

so it can do both dmg and heal when it procs?

strong forum

always ye

wanton night

but on use i wanna taget enemies

even if you weigh it towards heal or dmg

tardy sequoia

do i switch every stacks at terros or every two?

strong forum
#

on normal terros we swapped on 2

tardy sequoia
#

what about HC?

strong forum
#

dunno about higher, didnt bother pugging

#

if you can comfortably survive 2, switch on 2

#

if the debuff resets in time for the 3rd, swap on 1

#

simple as that

#

cuz on normal you have to do 2 cuz if you swap on 1 you never drop the debuff

fresh kiln
#

Kurog tank damage is freakin insane no?

#

guy is making me sweat

tardy sequoia
#

same on HC nom

median tulip
#

The thing with Kurog, I found, was that tanking him was fine, but the DoT from the tank swap is mental and the adds are way harder than he is

tardy sequoia
#

if you swap on 1 debuff never clears

fresh kiln
#

yeah i agree with that zetakya but im doing it in pugs and i have no clue if im not tanky enough or like if my healers arent healing enough or of my dps arent clearing adds fast enough

I like how naowh has been the most geared char in echo for the past couple days. Says a lot about the importance of gearing your tank first 😛

should I use my spark to replace my last low ilvl piece? I have a helm I just cannt get a replacement for at 369. The alternative was to do the primal storm stuff to get the 385

Really the only way to get it off is with IV?

Or to help get it off

I guess last stand too?

last stand actually does heal

its a heal and a health increase

Gotcha makes sense Ill rotate impending victory and swiftmend from healer and it should be mostly fine then

its a hefty absorb

@oblique garnet For raid environment how should we be gemming and looking for stat wise. Still shooting for haste>crit or throwing in verse to take harder hits as we get into higher progression?

compact jackal
#

I like versatility because it has TWO numbers as opposed to one

#

and that gives me dopamine

Vers and crit are useful in their own respects. Crit does nothing for unavoidable magic damage

What is the max leech possible with current gear I wonder

I have a question, and if there's a resource I'm missing that answers my question, and someone can point me to it, I'd appreciate it!

My question is, is there a specific piece I should craft in terms of gear for my Sparks that I should be saving them for? Or just whatever holes I have for my lowest ilvl pieces?

They're like 3 ravagers apart and chaincast while the DPS go brainlet mode and do what brainlets do.

tender cove
#

is it just me or is that tree boss ridiclously overtuned? Had a pretty good group for a pug, aware people but bit low gear/output... We tried a good 10-15 pulls even after timer went out.
We tried hero start, hero 3rd add pack, split cooldowns...and we just couldnt fucking do it...best attempt was 16% and it felt like pure rng to get there xD

oblique drift
#

he's definitely an outlier in terms of difficulty

pallid quiver

#

I s2g it felt like if you ran the boss over the adds when they were below he did dam to them. But I said that on reddit and got downvoted to oblivion so I guess I’m just making shit up.

tender cove
#

it was a +11 btw ^

pallid quiver
#

i'd have preferred to have been tank, tho

tender cove

so shouldnt have felt THAT brutal but it did 😦

compact jackal

where there's the uh, 6 or 7 extra adds on the platform?

slim dove
pallid quiver

yeah i can't pull aggro on that many unless tanks really ain't pressing buttons

#

i can choose when i aoe pretty good as fury

compact jackal

It's more a matter of grouping them

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, I'd drag them to the tanks since they, uh

tender cove
pallid quiver

refused to grab both adds?

#

and i just continued to keep aggro since they'd run away

#

as someone who mains tank, i don't understand

tender cove

which are the best aoe dps classes for that boss? Gonna stack the new group fur sure since I cant get another key any other way right?

gotta do another run for that?

otherwise ur kinda fucked

They stand still as well

Just bad dps

craggy pilot

same as last boss Pools

tender cove

and it was purely a numbers thing, everyone played good

tender cove
#

I didnt die but the dps kept dying, always to the add wave with to many adds up

limpid anchor
#

11 should be doable

craggy pilot
#

i had grp with 100k+ dps on all 3 dps and we struggled to kill that boss on +12 😄

edgy grail
#

1st set

limpid anchor
#

We use lust on first set, cds on second

edgy grail
#

You deag boss around the room since you might be a bit split up

limpid anchor
#

Works pretty good

edgy grail
#

Due to qualing

#

2nd you lust

#

And you should have cds for 3rd since used on first

limpid anchor
#

you shouldn’t get a 3rd set tbh

edgy grail
#

Not in an 11 sure

limpid anchor
#

Not even in 15

#

Unless your dps sucks

edgy grail
#

Idk we got 3

#

And all 3 dps were over 100k

#

And I was at 80

limpid anchor
#

Well pad dps or boss dps

edgy grail
#

In our 15

tender cove
#

this was the dps for last pull, hero on pull:

limpid anchor
edgy grail
#

Yea I mean thats garbage damage

limpid anchor
#

No wonder you didn’t kill it

craggy pilot
#

40k on aoe boss 😄

limpid anchor
#

Even the monk is questionable

lyric elm
#

rogue should be near 90k

tender cove
#

that bad huh? :x

limpid anchor
#

But that’s more a gear question i guess

edgy grail
#

Yes our monk is always around 120k+

lyric elm
#

its a +12 so you need considerable gear

craggy pilot
#

but honestly thats why you do this boss 1st in Academy

#

so you know if your DPS can time the key

#

then you dont waste time

tender cove
#

no idea what gear they had, we did +10 jade serpent just before and decided todo another one

#

we got owned hard

edgy grail
#

I mean

lyric elm
#

tree is the hardest and most technical boss this season imo

edgy grail
#

You need to lust

limpid anchor
#

Tree is just the dps check

edgy grail
#

And the other boss is mostly free

#

So ofc you go tree firsg

tender cove
#

yeh, prob should do that tbh, we killed the other 2 first

craggy pilot
#

gonna be fun to see it wednesday 🙂

tender cove
#

good idea honestly

Do the adds scale with fort?

@tender cove preferred route is, tree, bird, elemental, last boss

you lust tree and elemental

tender cove
craggy pilot
#

maybe 2nd boss Nokhud?

south zealot
#

tree is hardfest

#

do it first

lyric elm
#

its just nice and you get lust for elemental which is the 2nd hardest boss there

craggy pilot
lyric elm
#

because bird is a joke

craggy pilot
#

bird is free because of DMG amp and haste buff

limpid anchor
tender cove
lyric elm
#

tree is especially hard now i think with quaking. it really fucks up how you do the eruptions

limpid anchor
#

Prob 2nd in jade

craggy pilot
#

and 1st boss Temple is fucking weird, had him wipe entire raid multiple times with beam even though we werent hit

#

The storm is free if everyone soaks

It can also be invisible for some players

#

Really fun

#

Af least the last pack in jade won’t oneshot me anymore next week, yay

tender cove
#

first boss jade is only annoying cuz of quake, everyone panics and stacks up 😦

craggy pilot
#

but currently thats not a good idea, since you want hero on boss even in Fort 🤣

lyric elm
#

the strat for tree is to lust on the branch btw

#

you need to kill that asap

craggy pilot
#

1st boss Temple with Quake + Thundering sadge

#

we literally got Quake + Thundering proc on top of water beam

get boss on branch so everyone gets their dot cleansed

it does insane dmg

tree has mechanics like a raid boss

I mean ye it works, but not optimal

#

Gotta save some seconds to make up for tree wipes

#

how do you wanna skip the birds? dont they both patrol over the boss area?

lyric elm
#

you can pull tree to the entrance

limpid anchor
#

Ye

#

Just don’t pull them :>

#

And wait until a pug runs into them

#

Wiping you

lyric elm
#

i just pull them in pugs

cuz pugs are what they are

Same

#

But only if I see that pugs are from certain server s

arena 52 critcake

but the idea of doing tree first is you have the option, but because its overtuned you cant do that 😄

so its an idea for later

i wouldnt waste lust for trash

Im just so really inclined to upgrade Wrists / Ring since it's so cheap

Oh okay I could've just read it

Sounds fun

craggy pilot

so you get a bunch of stats for 20 sec, and then some dmg

i usually try to use it in the start of a pull, or in the start of a boss, so i know it will explode before pack/boss dies

but rly just use it on CD

What kind of route do u guy take b4 the second boss on COS? To separate the little bosses from the main one

That heavily depends on what classes / jobs you have and what procs are lying around
