Only had time to play for just a few minutes so far.. but I think this was a very reasonable direction

as a short test, went and tried with eoma, halloween earring, angryface and uc4 - I don't have the RZ neck on necro and would guess that might throw things off

I do know that with glyph of dest,1 man band, and full debuffs with AoD2 non-crits get up to around 144mil for me, but i'm pretty sure the dots won't crit during AoD2 for some reason

But I also don't have RZ neck to test for number nonsense there

Didn't have too much time to test - 33
3 war 7 rogue 1 wiz 3 zerk 1 monk 1 druid 1 shm 6 pal 3 cleric 1 mage 1 enchanter 1 sk 1 necro 1 bard 1 bst 1rng

About half the dps in uw12/uc4 equivalent, didn't really use cooldowns

Test A mobs ~2min per
frostbite drain hurts a lot.

Was able to handle 2 just fine until my stonewalls faded for some reason and my warrior got deleted (forgot to log this pull)

Test B ~6min
wasn't watching closely on 2nd pull of test b, got killed by 9x 1,469,993 + 208633 in 1 round

Are people really not able to understand the concept of "don't do the extremely obviously bad thing"? Yes you're not allowed to use druids, if you're using that druid to solo stuff because it's immune to damage. You're also not allowed to use pets that are immune to damage to tank things. If you just don't do those things, and don't do anything else that also makes you immune to damage, you will be fine.

...It's been a well established fact that Necro pets are practically invincible in any tier, I've been tanking and killing stuff with one for years...

I find it weird that this has been allowed to remain as is if people has known about it for years. I guess the only reason I can think of is that it does not seem like a common theme on EZ that people in general use their pets as tanks.

I kind of think like, 1 maybe 2 people total actually spent their time doing it.

From what I can tell, the Tunare BP for leather doesn't proc at all (is it spell cast procs only?)


I don't see the click death's embrace doing anything except 2% shieldwall as well.

also not actually seeing doomfire proc from the plate one or mail.

Can we all just cut the bullshit? EVERYONE knew! it was in OOC when ever some new player was asking for advice! Turn a blind eye if you must, but check the logs! how the hell can anyone zonepull T10 without anything else then a warrior... Nobody can say "i didnt know"

I had no problems zonepulling t10 without guardian charm for a long time, just pulled the slimes first so it took a few extra seconds each time, but not a huge amount. Legit did not know about guardian charm until Draca announced VP.

Very cool event, loved all the story.

Very well tuned fight imo, scary adds even with Sarthin there.

Thanks Draca!

SK defensive epic proc, strength from pain recourse 7.0 doesn't actually increase stonewall, tooltip says it should increase it by 20% but there is no change on /say stats window.

Do any of them work? I don't see any entries for the stonewall portion of any of the SK recourse spells

No idea, went from 1.0 to 10 on that character lol

SK defensive epic proc, strength from pain recourse 7.0 doesn't actually increase stonewall, tooltip says it should increase it by 20% but there is no change on /say stats window.

You could 100% do some degen stuff (as I think kinda is always the case when you can hop instances unfortunately)  I had very limited amount of time to scratch the surface or I would have more info.

Dimur's glacial gift appears to be critting for negative damage for my wizard
getting crits for -6024524 with gorgon stare (UC 3) blazing plank earring and mana neck 12 in VP

works great with the min delay change - now I just need someone to make a Shield of the Ages macro, so that my bots can finally get it, that's waaaaaaaaaay to much clicking for those nerds.

Had no problem zone pulling t10 or HoS without using guardian charm, it being broken was a problem, but it's not the end all.

I think having UA armor for YEARS, was reward in of itself for grinding for UA armor. I'm not sure why anyone wants to keep it going in any way.
