it was tight for me too

#

had like 5-10s left at max

#

and I again barely killed an add before it wouldve been too deep in the puddle

sick sentinel
#

i feel like its really an 18 s cooldown reduction because you get that giga move speed for 3s

modern brook
#

bounding stride is good for the warrior on the move and for when a fight has 30s intervals that require movement that you cant replicate with charge or intervene

#

otherwise crackling thunder

#

the row really doesnt matter

sick sentinel
#

i just wonder if its better to have a larger clap, hit more things do a bit more dps

mellow bridge
#

well the question is

#

does you being quicker in keys actually do something

#

youre probably not gonna start a pack by yourself just because youre faster for example

strong forum

MY

#

LEGS

mellow bridge
#

on the other hand, CT helps a bit with aggro when collecting packs and helps a bit with slows

modern brook
#

candid photo of @strong forum

mellow bridge
#

but in the end, neither will do much

sick sentinel
#

i mean that sounds like something i'd do, leap to get a move speed so i could charge and pull earlier

mellow bridge
#

and then you die because your healer isnt as fast as you are

strong forum
#

Shit healer

sick sentinel
#

just pop SW block and IP

sick sentinel
#

i'm trying new buttons for things, i dunno if it really works, unbound 7 and E (IP and SB) and put them f1 f2, then i put avatar num 1, last stand num 2 sw num 3, demo num 0

#

now, i don't have a good thing to put on E

blazing condor
#

How come you changing?

sick sentinel
#

like, i tried to move all of the abilities i have that deal damage, all of those bindings to the main bair, and shit that doesn't do damage to other bars, i could, and should, but don't use reflect for damage for example, so it goes on main bar now

mossy ferry
#

I can't recommend getting a 12 button mmo mouse and moving your rotation to it enough. My left hand was basically a claw all the time to reach the buttons I needed. Now I'm faster and more comfortable.

jagged pier
#

no

sick sentinel
#

its nitpicky but i have 12 and 2 button mouse already, and would prefer if some company made a 4 side button mice

#

as well as this abombination somewhere

#

never got it to work good with any game sadly

mellow bridge
#

the fk

#

LOL

mellow bridge
#

that sounds horrible

sick sentinel
#

tried it for 2 dungeons, just trying things out

mellow bridge
#

well

modern brook
#

i mean

#

the point of a keybind is that you can access it quickly

mellow bridge
#

either youre moving your left hand away from the left side of your keyboard where all the other buttons are

#

as as well as your buttons to move

modern brook
#

wow ainta rhythm game, you shouldnt have to switch grips

mellow bridge
#

or you are using your right hand which means you lose more direct control of your character

#

the way he faces, moves etc

#

both are shit to be honest

#

losing control of your character as well as simply time to move your hands around

#

is just awful

restive grove
#

is Kruul meant to cast twisted reflection twice back to back?

mellow bridge
#

you probably CCd him somehow

#

CC makes him recast it again

restive grove
#

yea i intimidated his cast

modern brook
#

yeah my immediate reaction to that was you stormbolted it cause a kick was on cd

restive grove
#

thats just mean

jagged pier
#

but u SR reflectiom

mellow bridge
#

you have to kick or SR it

modern brook
#

^yeah thats whati meant sorry

mellow bridge
#

CC just makes him recast it

#

but be careful, if you got the nether horror adds up, they eat up your SR with their attacks

modern brook

honestly its a price im willing to pay to simp

jagged pier
#

execpt i killed far faster as in kill time than in legion

waxen orbit
#

Uh huh

jagged pier
#

yes

#

in legion i took like 4 anhilates

#

i didnt even get 3 now

#

so imma press x to doubt that math

#

or at least its not taking somthing into account

What does that shit compare

🤷 one of the first warriors in the world to do it yes skill issue

Just read it kekw

#

I 3 shotted that shit in NH and I can acknowledge it was scaled differently this time around

strong forum
#

Also why the fuck

#

Does nerf take years to kill variss

#

?

waxen orbit
#

Because that’s the strat

strong forum
#

What strat

#

Lmao

#

The strat is kill variss before 3rd infernal

#

Boom done

waxen orbit
#

Pretty sure you can’t do that without TW gear

jagged pier
#

i literally did that without tw gear

#

and didnt even get 3rd annhilate

strong forum
#

Bro im checking my vod

#

Right now

jagged pier
#

so thats just wrong

mellow bridge
#

Nerf is just not doing a whole lot of dmg lmao

jagged pier
#

2 infernals in the gear i just wear

strong forum
#

I killed variss after 2min58 seconds

#

With my SL gear

mellow bridge
#

Sadly nerf doesnt show his dps in that video

strong forum
#

That's almost twice as fast as nerf did it

mellow bridge
#

but he is just doing it really slowly

strong forum
#

Nerf took over 5minutes to kill variss

jagged pier
#

nerf took 6 mins to kill variss?

#

what the fuck is he doing

mellow bridge
#

he took like 5:20

strong forum
#

That's as long as my kill

#

Of the entire challenge

#

And Jakey did it in less than 5min total

#

The entire thing

#

So this thread is garbage

jagged pier
#

4:35 for me

#

again

#

with no extra gear

#

just literally what i wear in SL

mellow bridge
#

the lengths people go through to excuse their bad play

#

is incredible

jagged pier
#

druid about 20 secs more as its all well tuned and scaled relative dont know my monk timing didnt record it as i 2 shot it and was juist trying it out to see what it was like

#

XD

sick sentinel
jagged pier
#

nah guys u need twice the damage because u dont hit variss ever thats why

mellow bridge
#

I had 2 infernals on my bear when I phased

#

and I dont even play that class

#

lmfao

strong forum
#

And taking nerf pov of all people

sick sentinel
#

thats why i say bounding is better and someone says no fuck you crackling

mellow bridge
#

had to learn bear while doing the challenge

sick sentinel

its just inevitable

jagged pier
mellow bridge
#

I'm legit confused about Nerf tho

#

why is he doing it that slowly

strong forum
#

Nerf isn't an amazing player.

#

That's why

sick sentinel
#

everyone has different opinions we just try to agree on as many things as possible to get by together

brittle owl
strong forum
#

Nerf is good at playing dungeons, not at the tanks he's playing

That's why

you are the downvoter or will be recieving them?

if you cant down mage tower ur bad

sick sentinel

Neftank would need to be doing on average 1.3k dps to have the same time as Mage Tower 1.0 that’s DOUBLE what tanks currently can do.

um.... okay

whatever the fuck that means

waxen orbit

I wasn’t particularly siding with the OP; I was just posting it here because I thought it was an interesting breakdown

And thought provoking

sick sentinel

i don't intend to do ANY mage tower or legion m+ i can't handle current m+

No attacks at you thwump

sick sentinel

well, the timewalking was same zone and it was only for this week right?

modern brook
#

all im saying

waxen orbit
#

I agree with the sentiment that this content should be extended longer though. Purely because it’s enjoyable and we’re in a current content drought

mellow bridge
#

TW was for 2 weeks

modern brook
#

People were complaining about Complete %'s on thursday lmoa

sick sentinel
#

so, i probably got those 2 things confused

mellow bridge
#

and they extended magetower another 2 weeks

#

you can still do legion m+ in this ID and mage tower for another 3 IDs

i'm still going to wait until minimum tuesday to see what bugs they clear on mage tower

the only spec i played that i thought yeah ok this might need a tuning was feral

Because I refuse to fork $25 to go horde

and im comparing it to like LATE legion mt for feral

where i literally didnt know what 3 of my buttons were and first tried it

the only spec that might have needed a bit of tuning from the ones I tried so far was BDK

which did get a small nerf

Listen, I’m all for bitching about WoW. Blizz sucks McFuck. But people are bitching about the wrong thing when it comes to mage tower. Sure, there are definitely some fights which need tuning, but mfs be out here attempting MT 200+ times and trying the same strat every single time and then wondering why they don’t win

@distant crystalhavoc is rough indeed

#

you need to perma drag him to the middle of the arena

#

or you wont be able to reach him in time half the time

modern brook
distant crystal
#

yeah not dragging him when i kicked seemed like my most common fuckup

mellow bridge
#

and you need to work well with kick and fel eruption

distant crystal
#

i've been using UC

mellow bridge
#

oh and chaos nova is a free full hp heal when you get stuck in the ice

distant crystal
#

for the juicy souls

mellow bridge
#

you can do the same without uc

#

i did it with uc too at the start but fel eruption felt more consistent to me idk

#

both work probably

distant crystal
#

oh wait, not UC

#

whatever the one that removes the cost of nova

modern brook
#

damage pre-shadow is really just "how long do you want to be here"

mellow bridge

oh yeah it's unleashed power

not unleashed chaos

w/e

#

i knew which one you meant

modern brook
#

but im hearing that p1 is way harder for havoc than it ws for sub so

mellow bridge
#

FE helped me stay alive more than UP did

distant crystal
#

you have like no time to make it to the invis duder

mellow bridge
#

yeah

#

that's why you need to drag him to the middle

distant crystal
#

just enough to FR FR and disengage

#

insta

mellow bridge
#

so you only have to move half the arena at most

distant crystal
#

ya

that's what killed me in most of my P1 tries as well

are ya'll using the seedpod?

better trinkets to use are aegis and scale/ows right?

handy sure, but by no means required or even goo

You're better off using aegis and scale or aegis and defense matrix if you need defensives

aegis is godtier on sylv

like stupidly good

Aegis is nuts

🤷

somber stump

what part are you using aegis on? i was thinking p2 mostly

waxen orbit
#

Realistically speaking you could honestly get away with Aegis and Phial/sack

modern brook
#

if your prog is being halted causeyour healers cant keep you alive through an aegis

#

use the cheat death trinket

chilly brook
#

Reactive Defense Matrix is good too

strong forum

any tankbuster

modern brook

imo

eventually your healers will figure it out and you can swap

chilly brook
inland raft
#

Really good for the channel workout brain making me choke on name right now

#

But any buster

strong forum
#

tank buster is 6 hits

#

so aegis will literally remove 50k dmg there

chilly brook
#

If you use it at before she does phase 1.5 it's up for first platform of p2

strong forum
#

3 arrows + dot ticking

inland raft
#

Scale breaks in like 2 hits aegis mitigates every hit

chilly brook
#

And then if you use it there it's up for second platform of p2

waxen orbit
#

If you’re running anger management, you can basically have shield wall up for (at the very least) every other heartseeker

#

Use aegis to fill the gap

sick sentinel
#

nom i know we went over this before at some point, is it still good to use lightless enchant for like m+ or is celestial just better because it makes your abilities hit for more

inland raft
#

Doesnt matter

#

Run whatever most use celestial

somber stump
#

alright, thanks for the input guys

waxen orbit
#

But all around, celestial is just more reliable

chilly brook
#

Tldr cheat death trinket is kinda weirdchamp

sick sentinel
#

someone yesterday was saying celestial way better and i'm inting hard by using lightless

inland raft
#

Next to no difference

mellow bridge
#

I dont think cheat death is that bad for early prog

inland raft
#

Variance in procs is bigger

mellow bridge
#

healers have a lot of shit to heal and might be struggling to keep you alive

#

or your own gameplay might do that

chilly brook
#

I mean

modern brook
mellow bridge
#

wiping in p3 and wasting 10 mins because of a random death to a combo sucks

chilly brook
#

Aegis gives you much more wiggle room

mellow bridge
#

yes

#

I'd just run both for early prog

#

and then swap from cheat death once you get comfortable and no more random deaths

chilly brook
#

Or you run aegis and RDM

#

Or scale

sick sentinel
#

is 5% str just pretty much like 5% versa while its up?

inland raft
#

If so worried about survival over damage id just run double on use even before a cheat and use scale too

chilly brook
#

Because if you proc cheat death you're probably gonna die anyways

mellow bridge
#

almost any tank that will prog sylv now will have those random deaths wasting a lot of time tbh

inland raft
#

But thats just me

#

Better to run aegis and dps though

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

i know it would be better for granting attack power and block stuff

chilly brook
#

Literally 150k absorb>cheat

waxen orbit
#

Heart wouldn’t save you against mythic Sylv

#

You’d revive from it and immediately get one tapped by the next heartseeker round

chilly brook
#

And the fatescribe trinket doesnt remove the debuffs

#

So if you die off platform while soaking up shit in p3 and you use that you're probably gonna die trying to get back to your healers anyways

If your dying on sylv either heals arent doing job or you/cotank arent just check whats killing you ā€œrandomā€ deaths don’t really happen on her

always the healers fault

wdym?

waxen orbit
#

Tank blame is pretty rampant kekw

strong forum
#

yes

#

from a raid perspective yes

ocean yoke
#

you can never go wrong blaming a hunter either

inland raft
#

No cd soak every puddle die its heals fault change my mind

chilly brook
#

Everyone's always like "well can't you just do this to be more tanky?" Or "why aren't you running a second tank trinket?"

strong forum
#

not if youre the RL

waxen orbit
#

ā€œWhy are you running Phial and Sack?ā€ Because I have no issue with defensive, quit scratching your nuts and heal me 7head

inland raft
#

Those balls won’t scratch themselves

strong forum
#

before i look at my or anyones gear

chilly brook
#

I love prot when I have a great healing core

strong forum
#

i look at CD allocation

#

period

chilly brook

I hate it when I dont

strong forum
#

.

#

and 99/100

#

you can use CDs better

inland raft
#

Just play pally dander

chilly brook
#

And the funny thing is the times when I've had a great healing core they're like "yea we barely heal you"

strong forum
#

we literally got a way smoother Sludgefist and Council mythic

#

after i revamped all healer CDs

#

100 pulls in

#

all of them

inland raft
#

Because if you use cds amd have a solid heal core and not just one or two trying to carry rest,passive heals will likely keep you up

waxen orbit
#

I once got told by a raid lead to rage dump into ignore pain in raid ratge

strong forum
#

find out where you struggle

#

and then use CDs so you dont struggle at that moment anymore

#

shift CDs around, do you need HPS or just mitigation

#

who is taking the dmg there, who needs the most babysitting

chilly brook
waxen orbit
#

ā€œWe need you to play as defensive as possible because if our healers have to choose between using a heal on you or on a DPS, we could lose a DPS and then we’d lose more overall group damageā€

Cant hear you over sound of revenj

If im dpsing im not moving out of my dreamweaver circle for somethint as silly as mechanics keksquad

waxen orbit
#

Reject mechanics, return to monke

chilly brook
inland raft
#

Thats what sr+dbts is for on opener

brittle owl
#

gotta adapt to your raid friends monkeys

ocean yoke
#

if i can press execute im not doing mechanics

chilly brook
#

And you've used all yours and the phial

brittle owl
#

nobody likes the dude that calls out people not using pots and hs

inland raft
#

Often have an ip up on opener as well as arms

sick sentinel
#

phial still 216

waxen orbit
inland raft
#

So not moving for first swirleys ever

sick sentinel
#

have to put points into blade kit first

chilly brook
waxen orbit
#

That’s the only way to improve kekw

chilly brook
#

That's why so many people are reeing over mage tower

brittle owl
#

well

#

you've already one guy doing that in raid

chilly brook
#

The amount of mythic raiders I've seen complain about the fact that it's too hard and too many things to keep track of

brittle owl
#

generally tends to be better and more orderly for the rl to callout people

sick sentinel
#

some people absolutely want to be told what they did wrong

inland raft
#

Ideally your raid is fill of people who as soon as they die recognize for themselves what they did wrong

inland raft
#

But getting 20 of those is a monumental task

waxen orbit
#

Factual

inland raft
#

Even limit and method have ā€œthose peopleā€

brittle owl
#

i mean, you don't hve to be reductive

#

anyone can make mistakes

waxen orbit
#

Some people want to raid just to hang out, which is fine, but that’s what you do weekly heroic parse/meme runs or guild RBG nights for

brittle owl
#

even if you yourself think that you recognize your own mistakes

#

you can sometimes tunnel vision in your own role and ignore other aspects

waxen orbit
#

No sure anybody can make mistakes, but details and the health potion tab exists for a reason

inland raft
#

Ofc everyone makes mistakes ive charged my arrow before by accident keksquad

waxen orbit
#

It’s there for retrospect so that people can actually use their defensive on the next pull

#

And if they don’t, they’re lowkey just inting if it results in a wipe

chilly brook
#

I mean tanking is very simple

#

Set everyone else up for success

#

Dont die

#

If you're not dying do more damage

chilly brook
#

His head so big

inland raft

His head was subverting expectations

waxen orbit

Forehead built like a runway

errant oriole
#

Hey guys was just curious but the wall is 2nd best for both mplus and raids correct?

sick sentinel
#

so, you guys figure if i can learn to point boss away from group, and use my dmg increase abilities before using dmg cd, that i'll do like 5 times better

waxen orbit
#

Wall is yucky

inland raft
#

Or Seismic in m+ if not running reprisal

sick sentinel
#

it seems to be those are the 2 major issues more than anything

inland raft
#

Revenj goes brrr

waxen orbit
tardy sequoia
#

@jagged pier did you use a particulare gear during Mage tower?

waxen orbit
#

Elysian Might on tyran

#

Ez 8.8k boss DPS average

errant oriole
#

So run reprisal for both content then?

inland raft
#

Yes

waxen orbit
inland raft
#

Other leggos are chosen for damage

errant oriole
#

Oh

tardy sequoia
#

got it

errant oriole
#

Ok thanks guys

jagged pier
#

literally what i had on at the time

inland raft
#

Reprisal is decent damage and godlike defense

jagged pier
#

swapped phial for gland that was it

errant oriole
#

Any best talents for reprisal?

waxen orbit
#

Always double time

#

And BSC is pretty nice, unless you’re in raid

inland raft
#

Other options are good damage at cost of defense, and stuff like wall is almost never used unless you have a niche situation where you always dying and running it gets you another wall

waxen orbit
#

I am of the belief that for every boss in SoD you can just run EM

errant oriole
#

Also what do yall think of the set bonuses?

waxen orbit
#

Save a shield block for a tank buster with demo shout on tank busters here and there, use your toolkit, do big damage

inland raft
#

Well some groups dont have enough cds for say guardian and wall can be useful there but ya it’s generally best ignored

waxen orbit
#

It’s decent

errant oriole
#

True lol

#

I like the avatar 4 set :)

#

Bonus

waxen orbit
#

4 set is the only thing I like

inland raft
#

Most tanks looking solid next tier

waxen orbit
#

The outburst mech looks dumb. Empowering shield slam is dandy but who tf is pressing thunderclap for damage unless as a filler ability (edit) or in M+

inland raft
#

Though vdh is exceptionally standout if goes live as is they gonna be pumping huge numbers

ocean yoke
#

have they fixed the thing where using IP that would give the outburst would eat it without even enhancing it?

errant oriole
#

Ah so prot may be considered weakest again?

inland raft
#

Doubt it

waxen orbit
#

As always sadge

mellow bridge
#

there's no way VDH is gonna go live as it stands

lofty widget
#

was prot ever considered the weakest?

inland raft
#

Prot will be least played prob but thats always the case unless its runaway op like bfa

mellow bridge
#

altho tbh the vdh set should get reworked

inland raft
#

But wouldnt say its weak

sick sentinel
#

pro tip, whenever you edit a message like i am doing right now, it will say in tiny hard to read text (edited)

modern brook
#

Probably the weakest unless it's the strongest

#

People suck at this class

lofty widget
#

if weakest means we're getting buffed then im all for it

inland raft
#

Prot is the class people act like doesnt exist until its broken op

#

Then they were always such big fans

errant oriole
#

Think thats the issue is cause people suck at it?

#

Lol

inland raft
#

Its very high skill cap tank that tells you in the form of death if you fuck up

#

And doesnt have a lot of flashy techs like say pal or dh

errant oriole
#

Ah

inland raft
#

Other tanks are quite reactive like protpal while prot is very proactive

errant oriole
#

Since dom sockets are going away in 9.2 would boots for reprisal be ok?

sick sentinel
#

warrior is point shiled at enemy and fight try to ignore as much bad crap as you can, pray you live

sick sentinel
#

if you don't point shield at enemy, you are fuckd

errant oriole
#

Ah k

inland raft
#

You shouldnt be praying you live, your survival is as much in your hands as any other tank

#

Its just you need to know before damage comes out

#

While other tanks twnd to react to damage more so then prot

sick sentinel
#

well part of the problem with prot warrior is if you do it well enough nobody will even notice you are doing it right

#

besides big dps

#

its just like okay, this is how its supposed to work

waxen orbit
#

Your healers will

inland raft
#

Your healers will 100% let you know

#

A well played prot is a healers dream

#

A badly played one is a nightmare

waxen orbit
#

A good prot warrior will have a healer salivating

inland raft
#

No tank is as predictable as a well played prot

#

Makes healers comfortable

sick sentinel
#

like, im positive there is tons of bosses in m+ some of which i don't know how certain attacks work

#

final boss of PF there is an acid rain cloud, no idea other than that its some magic aoe dmg i have to deal with

waxen orbit
#

The only boss in M+ which should have you clenching as a prot warrior is third boss of Spires (Oryphirion)

#

No other boss in M+ is really a threat

sick sentinel
#

i haven't played dps main so i don't understand the dps struggle

inland raft
#

Eh third boss spires is simple af on prot

ionic fern
inland raft
#

Its literally melees

waxen orbit

The soak phase being entirely magic damage

#

Lmfao

ionic fern

sick sentinel
#

hang on

waxen orbit
#

Do that on a tyran 24 and tell me your ass isn’t puckered

ionic fern
#

If i did a 24 Tyran i would take soakers. šŸ™‚

#

inland raft
#

Ya

#

I aint soaking

#

Im over there pressing revenj

waxen orbit
#

Reasonably so, but pugs don’t listen

#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

ionic fern
#

On higher keys they tend to listen more than on lower keys.

#

So i'll take my chances.

waxen orbit
#

They don’t listen up to a 24 chief idk

inland raft
#

Higher keys they usually dont even nees to be told unless theres two soakers

ionic fern
#

Okay chief

#

Idk

inland raft
#

Then you just say who doing it

#

They know you arent doing it as tank

#

Doesnt even interfere with their dps everyone mobes to side and they just soak standing between boss and bubbles

#

Assuming stacked them right

sick sentinel
#

last night,

#

i bet you can figure out what happened there

waxen orbit
#

What the fuck is that orb placement

inland raft
#

Second boss is harder if you are intervening and getting lucky and taking the dot

#

I intervene every dark steike and hope get the dot

ocean yoke
#

oh god

#

that picture

sick sentinel
#

i never have any trouble at all with the 2nd boss

#

he is turbo easy

inland raft
#

Its easy just saying harder then third but its relative ofc both easy

blazing condor
#

2nd boss WAS annoying asf

#

before the super-nerf

#

now its baby

#

on tyrannical it would always just wipe some tard ranged

#

cus you'd have 10 orbs up

waxen orbit
#

2nd boss is tank it on one end and stack two orbs top of each other, leap to other side and face him inward so DPS can hit him from the back when he goes into recharge phase and dodge all the bolts going out in front of their camera

#

Ez money

blazing condor
#

now you dont even have to stack orbs

inland raft
#

But ya you can intervene a random ranged each dark strike and if get lucky you fet the dot which makes heals life far easier

blazing condor
#

considering they disappear

waxen orbit
#

No, but it’s nice to stack them because the bolts will overlap and shoot in the same direction

#

And then ranged only have to move once as opposed to twice for casts

inland raft
#

Especially if your heals is a pally not having to triage someone else makes fight a breaze

waxen orbit
#

Helps for maximizing the raw number of spells they can get off

blazing condor
#

yeah i mean you still do stack them

#

but you dont need to

waxen orbit
#

True

blazing condor
#

before if you had a bad tank it was kinda gg

inland raft
#

Just make sure to tank her in a way that stack them while melee fan stand behind her

#

A lot of tanks only think about positioning her without thinkng about melee

waxen orbit
#

Season 1: what’s a melee

sick sentinel
waxen orbit
#

Oh good lord what is that

sick sentinel
#

start at one, follow

#

never fails

waxen orbit
#

That’s over complicating it

#

Go top

#

Then bottom

#

Then top

#

Then bottom

#

Rinse repeat

inland raft
#

Overcomplicating it

sick sentinel
#

not really, just dump 2 in same location and run for 3rd so group doesn't get hit by the crap p2

inland raft
#

I literally just start at a side move to middle and back repeat

#

First season it was about maximizing

#

But now just move back and forth

sick sentinel
#

well, i put them close to pillars, that way the crap isn't going 360 degrees

#

and then you just side step blue frontal

inland raft
#

Pillars dont matter, dps arent standing there anyways

waxen orbit
#

It’s too dangerous to tank it on pillar with melee lowkey

#

Too enclosed of a space

inland raft
#

Basically when she dark strides second time just charge her and then face her away from group

#

Gg ez done

waxen orbit
#

^

inland raft
#

Bonus pounts if you intervene a range and she chooses them and you just plant

#

You take dot and everyone just pumps

sick sentinel
#

well the pattern on that boss is 2 black blots, and then the flower attack from wherever i placed those and they spread out as i move her farther from the locationspawned

waxen orbit
#

I respect the method but there’s just simpler ways of going about it to accommodate mdps

inland raft
#

Doesnt matter they are a atraight line doesnt matter if your a mile away or right next to them if they gonna hit you you move either way, so just enough space to have reaction time is all you need

#

More you move her more people have to adjust

#

If ranged are in good spot she will be plenty far away and they just adjust once per phase

lime urchin
#

I am so close with Kruul

#

and I am so trying to keep it cool when I get booped off

waxen orbit
#

Oof

#

Shockwave/fear shout when the demon knock backs finna go off

#

If you can’t dodge it*

inland raft
#

Kruul is just about staying calm and walking in circles

#

You got this

waxen orbit
#

^

inland raft
#

War is easiest one cuz p2 so short since we spamming execute

lime urchin
#

well, easy is a relative thing

sick sentinel
#

so on the left, we can see that like, 3/5s of the beams are no longer a threat due to proper placement, they just go into neverland

inland raft
#

And that doesn’t change you start on side move to wherever she moves to

#

And peope atand onsame side

#

The opposite side is still irrelevant

#

You can move her more if makes you comfortable but its pointless post nerf

cinder nova
#

@waxen orbit did you post the logs for the melandrus trinky

I'm farming it atm

So bsc without reprisal and was fine

Just to one-shot the adds?

But jeah, it was great for adds.

thats something i probably do

more natural

yeah you dont want that

Backpedal bad

Always Strafe

Backpedal is only for group play

So the dumb dps can keep up

when i kite i just kinda book it with no issues i dont exactly get hit in the back

even without strafing
