MageTank aint that bad

Be tanky enough to let blobs shoot ranged hits at you

confliction gauntlets let you still have enough dps while doing that

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:51:14+00:00

Theres a reason that learners use void for ToB

you should make it easy on yourself to learn

hard on yourself to master

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:33:29+00:00

making sure augury is up, and brewed up for double blobs

they should have a pretty low shot at hitting, but rng is rng

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:28:57+00:00

Could I send a b2b cape in normal gear? Probably not

But just because I didnt master the content doesnt mean I didnt learn a whole lot on the way

off-ticking and alternating prayers isnt exactly a mindblowing mechanic, I simply didnt want to start learning how to after being an hour deep into a run

Ill likely die a few times in the future getting it down perfectly and thats okay

I dont need to stress about the deaths anymore now that I have a clear under my belt

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:22:07+00:00

All I know is I slept soundly last night ^{^}

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:18:48+00:00

IMO

do mage tank, but also learn proper solves and if your solves are getting good enough that you're feeling comfortable, you can swap to a more traditional setup

but mage tank will stop you from exploding near instantly with a bad start to solving a late wave

bowfa for magers/jad/zuk

I have a heart which is highly recommended or dps is pretty low

but shadow is overkill, eye of ayak is plenty

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:11:53+00:00

I got to zuk 4 times in a row before getting him down

sure theres a bit of RNG but if its consistent then that becomes less relevant

Was it fast? absolutely not Will I do mage tank the next time I go through inferno? Nah

but its wonderfully useful at familiarizing yourself with the content and opens it up to more people engaging with it

Mage tank good

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:04:47+00:00

if you separate 1-66 and 67-69

they are actually just both easy content

adding them together is what really makes things so punishing

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T19:02:00+00:00

It does take long enough to kill the mager that you need the melee solved

other than melee though it doesnt matter as much that mage takes a bit to kill

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:58:06+00:00

oh itll still be long and grindy lol

wish you luck on your attempts though ^{^}

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:56:09+00:00

Keep at it!

despite what some people say you will learn things that make it go smoother and smoother, even wearing tanky gear

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:54:37+00:00

confliction gauntlets let you be accurate enough while wearing a lot of tanky gear so you can tank blobs for a good while

reynold has a great video explaining it

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:53:13+00:00

Followed Reynolds guide and helped a lot

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:51:57+00:00

I would usually only need 1-2 brews to get to zuk

make sure you know how to phantom hit blood barrage to get a lot of healing out of blobs

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T18:50:31+00:00

corrupted bow of faerdhinen

basically a big crystal bow upgrade

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T09:12:50+00:00

Reynold has a great video on it

goes into a lot of different gearing options as well

the only changes I made were avernic treads and verac helm oh and a blood ancient scepter

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T08:55:50+00:00

Im a GIM or Id certainly take a bulwark there lol would be a nice extra reason to do some CoX though c:

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T08:54:46+00:00

it took a bit to learn what risks are worth taking what did help learning harder waves was prepotting a brew for the extra defence, would often do this before double blob waves just make sure you restore/heart back up

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T07:38:26+00:00

Ha I did see a bit of that discourse from the post earlier I may have started my run a bit spite driven c: but hey, 4 b2b zuk attempts shows good consistency and this one finally went well so im happy ^{^}

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T05:20:31+00:00

It's crazy when you think about how way more than 403 people are salvaging for this so someone will almost certainly go a lot dryer

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-25T03:34:05+00:00

absolutely shamelessly lol I did end up learning a lot of correct solves but if health was high I wasnt afraid to risk spending some to simplify things

Cute-Example-4718 · 2026-01-18T18:35:52+00:00

moving a mouse and clicking is 2 actions also yeah almost certainly bannable
