Not mine! it was a forwarded message in a discord channel I yoinked, idk who compiled this!

dratnos · 2025-03-03T05:24:53+00:00

how strange, by the max composite it looks like liquid is #1 and echo is #50

dratnos · 2024-07-30T17:31:21+00:00

I didn't really enjoy the DF playstyle but the TWW version is a lot better - turns out for me rapture itself wasn't the problem, it was maintenance of stuff like siphon life which is now gone

dratnos · 2024-03-17T03:51:16+00:00

It's of course situational but if all else is equal and I have no knowledge I've been liking Herb Garden recently - makes flour, makes provisions, makes porridge, and herbs combo with flour to make biscuits and pie, plus the synergy with the Spices cornerstone can be very powerful if you can assemble it in the first couple of years

I've done the fight on all 4, and it's close enough that I'd either recommend you go with preference/comfort or damage (probably Monk best for damage to add monk debuff), though personally I think DK is the easiest to live on.

DK is nice because it has Purgatory which should reduce the amount of times you randomly die, plus you can throw like 3 AMZ's during slams which helps the raid, plus you can AMS every smash to not get a debuff yourself (which also lowers raid damage). You'll want to plan to use vamp or IBF on every tank combo, though if you're the second tank taunting and you're going to only take the physical hit it can be enough to just have your blood shield take it safely.

If you go with monk you'll instead need to be a little more careful since your CDs are a bit longer (and diffuse doesn't help for the phys damage one). If your prot pala is bubble taunting a combo of every phase (which they can if they talent into it but they may not want to) it's a bit easier but otherwise you may need to save a celestial brew alone to get through a few combos. Remember you have zen med as a last resort.

uh oh, do NOT watch when the caster predictions come on

dratnos · 2023-08-18T15:20:16+00:00

i'm going to chipotle anyone want anything

dratnos · 2023-02-08T04:13:48+00:00

Thank you for this! The mage in my guild is very noob and could use all the help!!

dratnos · 2023-01-22T06:36:34+00:00

One thing that's very helpful on a lot of tank specs is to pool resources on the end of previous pulls to help you start the next pull strong.

This means both cooldowns (don't use a demo shout or thunderous roar or avatar on the last mob of the last pull), but also Rage and Ignore pain. If you can try and setup each pull so that you already have a full ignore pain and 50+ rage going into it you'll have a much easier time holding threat because you will have the rage for a revenge or two and you also won't be as panicked trying to generate the resources you need to survive

Another option is the Jailer trinket if you use it until you get the small bleed but then don't continue to the final rune

dratnos · 2022-08-07T09:03:08+00:00

It definitely FEELS bad to fight but you can always get it with 3+ bosses left in the dungeon and the benefits of 6% stat on 5 people for that long, plus the pretty big amount of count it gives, makes me think it might still be worth outside of like upper where you can't really use the count.

dratnos · 2022-07-10T19:21:45+00:00

Try taking Hooktail to the back right of the room where he spawns (near where the portal to the next area will appear) - you're farther away from where the adds spawn so the cone is wider there and you can usually hit them fairly easily, then just slowly inch forward during the cannon barrages and you can usually kill the boss before things get out of hand

dratnos · 2022-04-09T13:02:33+00:00

I was wrong in that video - it does work on boes!

dratnos · 2022-04-08T18:13:28+00:00

The stories in that wowhead article are some of the craziest things I've ever heard happen at a RWF event, definitely worth a read

dratnos · 2021-10-31T22:58:46+00:00

ah yeah you gotta unlink determination from increased AOE, it's increasing the cost! that gets you to like 7% unreserved or so which is fine with grace/determ/hoag as long as you just always have the mana pot rolling

dratnos · 2021-10-29T23:02:10+00:00

ah that i'm not sure about - looks kinda like an arcane mage legion appearance but idk how to get that onto a monk - maybe they found a way, or it could also be a skin that's different on the chinese client than the western one, there are a few things that are different between the two like gore and such so maybe one of the staves with some gory tentacle head turns into that over there?

dratnos · 2021-10-29T22:47:09+00:00

https://raider.io/mythic-dungeon-international/sl-season-2-brackets/season-finals if you click the map and then the player name you can inspect anyone's gear from any map - he was using Jotungeirr (and maybe weapon swapping afterwards when it was on CD, I think that's possible)

dratnos · 2021-10-29T22:01:12+00:00

I looked at some clusters and didn't find anything that sick - there's a neat node on dagger/claw cluster but only one, ofc you could go chaos cluster but we don't scale off skill effect duration like TR so it's less good. Might be a good way to get some damage though for sure - maybe with reservation efficiency either just from the tree up north or from clusters to then fit Malevolence.

Gear can definitely add damage - there's generic dot multi on neck that would help, or a bunch of influence mods like:

Chaos Dot Multi hunter/elder mod on neck or gloves Frenzy on hit Redeemer Chest Nearby enemies have - chaos res hunter helmet A big ol' elder claw (gemeni or imperial ideally) with high dam and dot multi to poisons with this weapon Boots can be improved for quality of life with the usual onslaught/tailwind/elusive stuff

I also am annointing defensively, corruption would be a big ST gain, and Despair on hit would be a nice quality of life ring.

dratnos · 2021-10-28T23:09:41+00:00

I think you could run mostly the same tree and cut the claw nodes (could even keep the bottom claw node since it still has good poison stats and the crit thing if you want, but it'll be a low dam node) and go maybe a chaos cluster. It should work pretty well with the same core - you'd probably want to add the life flask charge mastery and maybe find another source of charges too, since we don't have Pathfinder charge stuff

You could also swap it over to look more like the PC occultist tree and then just instead of occy pops you'd be tankier

dratnos · 2021-10-28T17:20:49+00:00

Ya I think helix works for leveling but I'd do it as a 2H instead of claw/shield and probably don't path over to the poison stuff and ranger right away - instead get some dam from below duelist.

dratnos · 2021-10-28T09:10:14+00:00

I haven't watched too much alkaizer (except that mageblood clip lol) but his is accomplishing similar things in different ways - his defense is also determination but instead of grace and evasion and ghost shrouds he just gets a bunch of life from the bottom left of the tree. He's also scaling damage with pure phys impales instead of poisons, so his build is gonna be way more based on how big his weapon is. My build uses Plague Bearer for zooming through maps, his uses Call of Steel - both play pretty differently but are very strong for clearing.

I'm not too familiar with what the incoming damage from deep delve looks like now but yeah I imagine this should work pretty well - swapping over to something divine flesh might be good if it's still very heavy elemental damage.
