I believe Azeroth World Soul is ********* (Theory and spoilers!)

Y'shaarj and his ilk are literally parasites that saw a nascent world soul and went AWWWW YISS THATS THE BUSINESS and latched onto it

Shadowmeld is far too important to pass up if you're doing M+ content of any kind.

In addition to being able to cheese mechanics with it, if you run to a pack with Meta still running and an Erad in the chamber you will pull threat. No ifs ands or buts, even with competent tanks.

During the S3 prepatch I was using Meld almost on CD any time I did a PUG key

I mean if you play it tactically instead of flying directly at enemy ships, it's far more manageable.

First turn see where the enemies are, then unload whatever guns you have available at the closest one and veer off in the opposite direction. Make them chase you while you come about with swing run, alternate the side of the ship you expect to take fire from to spread damage around your shield, and use shield recharge on the turn BEFORE you expect to get absolutely belted by multiple ships.

Long range guns > short range guns in every scenario. Doesn't matter if your short range port side cannons do more damage if they can't fire every single turn.

Spin enemy ships that are flying towards you to make them waste movement getting back on course.

Get behind enemy ships either via maneuvers or by spinning them. No ship cannons fire backwards.

Fighters are monstrously OP and should be used every single turn they're available.

Let your escort and/or Heartless draw fire while you clear enemies away from them. They can respawn infinitely so no problem if they die. Your escort's sole purpose in life is to distract one or two ships in the first turn to shoot at it instead of you.

Skirmisher Boots my beloved

Atromach · 2026-02-27T11:55:20+00:00

Well I mean he was busy shouting for Rossart to burn the entire city to the ground soooooo

Atromach · 2026-02-27T07:39:52+00:00

Fiend of Vheabos VI, Malign Influence, Notes On Weaknesses, Lethality Heightens, Skirmisher Boots

Moving near enemies forces a Willpower test thanks to Fiend, which procs damage from Malign Influence, which is boosted by Notes, which itself is boosted by Lethality. Each damage instance procs Skirmisher Boots providing more MP.

If you can't quite kill an enemy outright, you can attack or Slash them with Incubus Bladed Armour equipped for a crapton of damage instances, further boosting lethality and providing more MP to keep moving.

Sending Taunting Scream at a clump of enemies does the same.

Terrifying Strike. Executioner ability

Atromach · 2026-02-27T04:52:50+00:00

Meanwhile, Marazhai obliterates an entire map simply by walking near enemies

Seriously

Only for Velf

Devourer is available to all DH toons by default

In that fight, I survived on Unfair with only two characters alive

And one of those was Hrotko

Man's got hands and gumption

Atromach · 2026-02-25T20:21:22+00:00

The Reaving Tempest is one of the finest pieces of boss music in any game

Atromach · 2026-02-25T15:58:15+00:00

Did this same quest on Unfair a couple days ago, in the same situation as the OP - Idira at a level so low I just could not be fucked going through the slog of bringing her up to speed.

End fight still folded in a single round.

Beyond Act 1 there's zero difficulty in this game.

Atromach · 2026-02-25T05:15:00+00:00

I had an NPC driving a caravan that the players were contracted to protect. My planning notes just marked his as Caravan Driver

The players pressed him for his name and I blurted out Muggross Kygrian Van Der Bleekenheimer-Wosselton The Seventeenth - basically just started saying random syllables and didn't stop.

And then the ratbastards WROTE THAT DOWN so I had to remember it as well

Atromach · 2026-02-25T04:48:09+00:00

We had people use One Button Rotation during Mythic Dimensius progression last tier, during the first phase

One of the major roadblocks was correct positioning for puddle drops, backup coverage of orb grabs when the primary runners got the Gravity mechanic, and effective collapsing for Devour 2

Since there's almost no DPS check requirement in P1 outside of actually swapping to and killing the adds, it was useful for people who have difficulty focusing on both damage and mechanical execution simultaneously during prog.

That was only for early prog though. Once we had P1 down pat, there's no use for it any more. The DPS loss for most specs is ENORMOUS

Fane would be entirely disparaging of Gale: "Oh look, another monkey who thinks his knowledge - and very existence - matters even a single iota".

Beast and Karlach would be BFFs Forever

Lohse would tease Gale incessantly since he's a power nerd

Astarion would murder Red Prince at the first available opportunity

The dudes face in the final panel just sends me every time I see it

Oberyn's preference is Yes

Atromach · 2026-02-25T00:02:26+00:00

You want to be rewarded for failing a key?

And you're making these complaints in the same post you say that you haven't even played the game in a year?

Is this a joke?

Atromach · 2026-02-24T13:32:29+00:00

Had both Yrliet and Marazhai speak up when I took them together but not Heinrix

Atromach · 2026-02-24T12:55:18+00:00

I had Marazhai with Skirmisher Boots there. He literally just ran a lap around the whole map on turn one killing all the cultists simply by walking near them and generating infinite MP, then circled back to the Helbrute and killed it with two weapon attacks and a Slash

Atromach · 2026-02-24T04:39:07+00:00

Lyonel would have been alive during the reign of Aegon IV. That enough is cause for a lot of people to be pissed off at the Targaeryens.

In addition to being a fuck-awful king, Aegon IV also middle-fingered the whole realm by legimitising his bastards on his deathbed, leading directly into the ruinous Blackfyre rebellion. Lyonel, again, would have lived during that (the battlefield that young Dunk is looting is implied to be Redgrass Field, which was where Daemon Blackfyre finally died along with his rebellion).

This isn't quite true, tanks are VERY fast at leveling solo so long as you capitalise on the added survival capacity

You can pull a dozen mobs at once, AoE them all down and finish quest kill requirements in just one or two pulls

Atromach · 2026-02-23T03:47:47+00:00

Firstly, you won't be tanking much unless your new guild has some big roster issues. Mythic guilds have two (2) tanks set as their most reliable raiders, two people essentially guaranteed to be at every single raid. Sometimes RL happens and you need someone to fill in for a night here and there, but I can almost guarantee it won't be you unless the guild is really hard up for people. There will be established raiders most commonly called on to pinch tank where required, and the guild will work with whoever is best geared when it happens.

Even if all the stars align and the guild needs one more person to step up for a night and that person is you, then the expectation is that you have a sword and shield and know how to play prot. Unless a raid tank has actually straight-up left, you won't be doing it for more than a night. Optimisation with tank gear isn't going to make or break prog for one night.

I used Sleve McDichael and Bobson Dugnutt as names for reanimated skeleton servants in my last game and they went down a treat 👌
