:D

Nice, cheers! {:-:-:}

Cool cool, also you can do it in Avernus the citadel and get some Zariel Favor xD

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 Can you say what the "kills" are for? What 100 quest? ty

@@deborahnorris1125 *_"Can you say what the "kills" are for?"_* It works for: Stronghold: Keeping the Peace (defeat 100 enemies) and My Only Enemy is Time (kill as many as possible within a time limit). {:-:-:}

For those quests I usually just go to no sympathy and fight normally, at least 100 minions always spawn in plenty of time

cheers :)

Marauders gives 600 Influence (unless they just changed it), but the SH Cleric does not give a bonus for that, only for HEs (again, unless they just changed it). {:-:-:}

oops xD

Dragonflight can be something easy and not very complex, to work towards to buy those stronghold weapons. Perhaps Chult maps and hunting can be good and profitable, by exchanging your Guild Marks to AD, but it can be more complex than people would like, learning the market and waiting for ideal times

@@Aragon- Yes that's also true. As a long time player I often don't think about the more casual players that just want some weapons without diving deep into the meta game of the ingame economy.

@@Aragon- we could have need for a little updated guide about ? 😆 It could be very useful, just imo 👍

MW weapons are a pain to get in the first place costing way to much ad but if you know people with them already to work great enough.

You need a Strongbox key to open them, though? {:-:-:}

I spent 4 silver tickets each Insignia then sold them for 2,100 each. That is 52,500 Astral Diamonds per 100 Silver Tickets. I spend plenty of time doing the quests for Stronghold Vouchers and other things. I just do not want to sacrifice character progression to do it. I only had 2 characters, I did the event every day. I bought the Grillmasster on my main for 10,000 petals. I turned my Sune and Bronze Tickets into more petals. I then slayed 15,000+ petals worth of Pinyata. I am still working on burning through all of my petals for Pinyata since they tend to give around 50% or better refund generally. If you break Pinyata in your Stronghold you also get roughly 5 green Stronghold Vouchers per 200 Pinyata as a bonus plus every Pinyata counts as a kill in your Guild Stronghold.

@@lanceknightmare Nice! I have 34 characters, it's been a grind and I think I will end up with not as much as I though! {:o:O:}

@@lanceknightmare I'm gonna wait for double guildmarks and guild maek discounts then buy scrolls for masterworks stuff. Join a guild with the explorers boon during double professions and make BANK like a month or so after the event ends.

@Hunter Brandon ?

yeah, it's pretty crazy how much damage it can deal

@@Aragon- rogue ftw 😄

@@PhoenixKing582 Warlocks and Wizards get just as much damage from BoA as the Rogue

I mean, true if you really just need more damage in the party, but don't the supports need support too? Healing for Healers and Damage reduction for tanks

@@Aragon- That's true too, but they still have 4%. It's compromises for the group much like those playing with the apocalypse set. It's more in view of killing quickly rather than passing long time. As Cleric it's ok for me.

Yep primal can work decent, just not available anymore

Why primal other LH?

@@ronben-ezer8373 LH is 7.5 percent and dependant on stamina, as a barb I will be using my stamina 24/7. Primal, as long as you are hit or healed for 10% of your HP, you'll have a 10% dmg buff no cooldown

yup mirage can be pretty good for solo content especially when you don't have an active companion, to get flanking with the enemies

I think you need premium pass now or use zen to buy out rest of the campaign

yeah do you have the premium pass for draconic rage?

depends on the class and the fight. If you can only hit the boss for 10s every 30, then Mirage is a bit better. You can always run the stronghold weapons

yeah, it's annoyingly hard to test damage resistant buffs, since all the enemies have varying base damage.

You think a temporary buff with a 30 second cooldown that does some at will attacks give you more damage than having a full time 10% damage increase?

@@mayn90s19 when I’m playing on my rogue, I do more dmg with mirage than MW Mirage is really good on rogue, but I understand some class are better with the 10% dmg than mirage

Watch my Advanced Combat Tracker video, download and install the app, and then go test mirage for yourself, and if you see the damage that the clones deal is less than 6.66% then your better with stronghold x5 weapons. In endgame atm, literally nobody uses mirage since it does less than that in damage! The only time they will use them, is if they are being selfish and want the other players stronghold buff and an increase to their damage from Mirage.

@@Aragon- if I do 2 runs, same equip, one with MW for all and one with mirage/lion/cok weapons I will do more dmg on the board with mirage that’s what I’m saying. Also you can have different effect on other set like ap gain, etc

2 runs of what? Tower of the Mad mage or Zariels Challenge? In any content, even switching out your weapons to something with no bonis, you can end up dealing more damage than you did with, cause maybe you have a team that overall deals less damage this time around, or you played mechanics better and spent more time attacking etc. There are so many variables, you would need to compare at least 10 runs using each weapon type with the same party and not know which weapon type you are using, since just by knowing what you are using and making your own expectations, you may perform worse or better depending on what you hope the outcome is!

Yes I regret not being more clear about it being a party weapon set. The Mirage is free to obtain, and I've covered it in the past, but it's a heck of a grind for little worth. Not great in aoe content, which is most of solo content. Sure you could use it in a party when nobody is using stronghold weapons, but you can still use your stronghold weapons and benefit the team with the buffs

The title of the video is "best party weapon set" so I kinda assumed that he was talking about group content and not solo. Also I'll never farm mirage weapons again way too much work for little value, would take you at least a month or 2 to get mirage and if you just get your daily 100k rad you can buy most chult mc weps in like 15 days.

@@user-kv1ih9lf5e There are good Chult weapons? The good ones must become available only once you progress further than I am in Chult.

@@lanceknightmare no, chultan masterworking weapons you make them with materials from chult that you get by doing treasure maps you buy with guild marks from the stronghold.

@@user-kv1ih9lf5e So, not an option since the guild I am in has a low level marketplace.

Yes, pretty much everyday an hour before this time, we Do one or two Dragonflight runs

Yes, in most cases stormforged will be better

@@Aragon- Thank you. I grinded for them on my Warlock but my Rogue is now at least as good, and she will trade the Blaspheme for SF this week. Such a pain getting the Arcanic focus, I was hoping to avoid another month in the River District.

You can abuse vistani and mirage weapons atm on Warlock for more damage debuffs on the boss, can be pretty powerful

Watcher gives 5% to Power, Crit Strike and Crit Sev. All offensive stats, and as explained, if I already have 90% in all 3 of those stats, but want to fit the watcher bonus stats, I will have to rebalance my stats, and since Accuracy is not 90%, I rebalance to effectively just add 15% to Accuracy like I did.

Yes, all the stronghold bonus sets stack with eachother. Just make sure you personally have both weapons of the same type equipped

@@Aragon- my titansteel gear is making me a badass GF again at least in the low level dungeons and skirmishes, thanks !

I think most people who still run mirage are the 1's who grinded like hell to get them but I have no idea why players are running that CoK trial set, it seems terrible. I guess it's their way of saying that they beat it lol

@@dragonlord4801 I think so, all the ones who use it will argue till the end of time how its the best weapon set there is, I have it and i've tested it vs other sets and its objectively one of the worst sets ingame.

The only thing going for those CoK weapons is the item level, and their bonus is just like a worse one than Lionheart (unless you use stamina a lot) and so it does not beat x5 masterwork. Yeah it's always disappointing to see plays saying, but their useless if my other teamamtes don't use them... They are still great even then, you are helping your team with some extra buffs. And the more ppl can switch to this mentality the more ppl with use them, and we'll all be happy in the end ofthe day!

@@Aragon- what kills them for me most is they are not even artifact weapons.

If I remember correctly the aboleth weapons were better than mirage back in the days. I think there must be a bug with the mirage weapons and the modern version of neverwinter that makes them do more damage.

You could do it with 5, no less. I won't let you start otherwise. I would not try completing it with less than a full party, with a healer and tank of low geared characters. You should be fine with that. Need to check if you upscaled.

The legion set is not too good

Yes literally ANY of these weapons sets. They all stack together no matter the rank of set. The old stronghold 600 item level ones will stack their buff with the new Feywood weapons!

@@Aragon- Excellent, thanks for that! {:-:-:}

Yes, you can only claim one these days, they fixed that bug. It should say it in the title of the video, which also was recorded on the preview server, which it says, and things from there can change, keep that in mind

There's really nothing to learn. You just set up your own server. If you are not a member of any server, there'll be nothing to see. Then you have to invite friends to join. My guild uses it more as a web site, as you can have voice or text channels on your Discord server. But to join Aragon's server, you need an invite, and then you're in. It _does_ also help to be able to communicate by voice in-game, although I never do. There's a link to join Aragon's server in the Description, near the bottom. {:-:-:}

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 I will pass. The closed nature of Discord makes it harder to use. I miss forums, unfortunately most of them are dead these days.

they are pretty much the same as Lionheart if not a bit worse! The only thing going for them, is the item level

They about 20mil~ so on the expensive side

yeah, no longer obtainable except through the Auction House

Only select weapons can be unbound. Mirage, celestial, lionheart I think. Legacy items like primal can still be bought occasionally

Bound to account

I wouldn't believe so. Can you even unbind MW sets?

@@mayn90s19 *_"Can you even unbind MW sets?"_* No need to unbind them if they are BtA. My Cleric can buy them for my Tank and put them in shared bank or mail. And I was talking about SH weapons, not Masterwork III. Most BtA gear remains unbound so it can be shared, EG Weathered Wood gear from Seals of the Wild can be shared with my other Clerics, Rogues, Ranger and Bards. Another set can be shared with Fighter, Barbarian and Paladin. Another set Wizard and Warlock. Usually, if it is BtA on Pickup, it says if it BtC on Equip. Cheers! {:-:-:}

Sadly the store only offers the weapons for your class, but yes bound to account on pick-up means you can move them between characters, but only a character of the same class will be able to use them

@@Aragon- Ah, so I cannot buy them with my Cleric? DOH! I must have looked in the wrong menu. Cheers! {:-:-:}

You can buy them for a different class. Go to almost the last option in the store and it will ask you what class. After you pick the class select artifact.

so lets all use, and we are all good :D

@@Aragon- yea but on Xbox they don’t 😂

Still bis on tanks and healers, even if greedy dps don't use them. If only tank and heal use them 4% dmg/reduction/healing.

@@user-kv1ih9lf5e You'd think any DPS of the greedy disposition would be all over maxing that fat +10%/all and riding the Tamed Velo train to boot, especially if they like not dying and surviving long enough to hit things! 😂

@@autobotstarscream765 kinda but if your tank and heal give you 4% and you wear lion hear for 7.5% you get a bit extra, especially if there's another dps using mc. But it's worse for the team since tank and heal only get theb4%. And raptor is another one of those greedy dps things where their copied youtube build is complete and their power is already maxed and they don't want to dish out the ad to switch over enchants/insignias so everyone using raptor gets less value. I play hr and always use team stuff, raptor if people have it on, mc always, aspect of the pack for 5% ca for whole team and commanding shot for 10% extra dmg for the whole team. It's crazy what a difference it makes, with a full raptor group I gain like 10-15% accuracy, everyone takes less dmg and stag heart is an amazing shield buff that can be applied like every 10 sec or less. Dragon hunts are so smooth barely anyone dies and we fly through phases but I'll usually be 2nd top dps if there's another good player, the moment I switch all that off and go greedy, I'm top dps but people start dying and it takes a bit longer. If only more people were team players the game would be in a way better state.

You should be fine. As always, it does depend a lot on the party. Tank item level, Stamina and skill for his own survivability, dps item level and skill for killing the dragon fast enough, and trying to avoid the red. A bad party can put an excessive drain on a Healer, especially if you use the _Overflowing Spirit_ Class Feature for +25% Outgoing Healing when Divinity is full. I used to use that, but rebalanced a bit and used the _Expanded Faith_ Class Feature for +150 Divinity, with _Hallowed Guide_ (sometimes _Desperate Prayers_ if the party is draining me too much) as I was getting a lot of bad parties in PUGs. It's nice having 90% Outgoing Healing at rest, but if you have to use too much Divinity too fast, you lose that bonus and if you wait too long for it to fill up again, characters can die. With Stronger parties, that's not such a problem. I used to use my old Tiamat Set then changed to Staff of Flowers set, then Arcturia's Music Box set. Now I use Halaster's Blast Septer as main artefact to give the party a damage boost on bosses. You mentioned your stat ratings, but not how close to the 90% cap you are. But the only way to find out if you can heal well enough is to try it in an Alliance Dragonflight run. Good Luck! {:o:O:}

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 The stand still for 6 seconds to increase stamina regeneration ability helps greatly for stamina management from the Piety ring. I sometimes forget to use it. Also, figuring out who has the most aggro so I can hold RB for a strong heal at low mana cost helped a ton once I discovered I had that skill. When damage is high the worst thing is if I have to spend every second healing because the players want to turn their brains off. If that happens I can not spam my normal attack in between heals to keep my Daily Power gauge up. I have no clue how I healed 170k on an Ancient Dragon that one time. It was over twice my healing record at that time and I have not been able to reproduce it. This was an Ancient Red Dragon. I died, used a Scroll of Life, used my Daily Power which heals only when the player drops to 50% health. It was an epic move which leads me to believe healing even when the party is standing in the red on Ancient Red Dragon is possible on a Devout/Cleric. I run both the 25 when divinity is full and 20 when half or less so I have a + in all cases. I tried to use the 150 divinity. It only seems to be beneficial to me when outside of a party.

@@lanceknightmare Yes, I used to have a hybrid Righteous/Virtuous AC DC back in the day, and had such ludicrous Recovery and APG I could spam Encounters like At Wills and have Anointed Army up back to back, and share 50% of my Power Rating with the party. Good Times! It's very diluted now, though. Now, I tend to use Guardian or Faith with the Feat, or Hallowed Ground. But what do you mean by the Piety ring? Where is that from? Cheers! {:-:-:}

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 The piety ring costs 180 Finger Bones + 60 Ridges + Astral Diamonds. 💎 You get it from slaying Ancient Dragons. I have the neck/belt/armor/1 ring from Ancient Dragons. I would have 2 rings but I made a second Piety not realizing you could not equip two of the same ring. You can only get 80 ridges max per week since the game put a cap on it. You can farm the other components as much as you want though.

@@lanceknightmare Oh, cheers, thankls for that! {:-:-:}

Technically yeah, in long boss fights, but they require a whole different build setup, they would be a complete waste on my build, unless I changed some companions, gear pieces etc, and that gets expensive. And then if you want to use something good for AoE fights you need a different weapon set since Watchers are useless there, and so again you need an entirely different build setup, expensive!

@@Aragon- Well, in example for dragon hunts, if all run MW, I run MW too, but otherwise I prefer watchers instead of LH, Watchers don't lose bonus for run out of stamina and as a rogue, you know we have to roll a lot with those lizards

From dragon hunts

@@Aragon- ima casual player only Aragon, i bought those from action house

yes, for group play! Which is most of this game for me at least

you can only buy the weapons for your class that you are on

Wrong ! Go to the option for other classes, it's at the bottom of the menu in the stronghold store. Then pick your preferred class, then artifact.

it is multiplicative, that is why it is in it's own block and not added to damage bonuses!

@@Aragon- it's not even multiplicative, it has its own category

Cause it does not, read the tooltip again. It only gives that 3% to the mirage clones, not you!

Yup! Along with 10% damage and 10% less damage recieved from attacks!

@@Aragon- Cheers! {:-:-:}

This is an old video!

As a Healer I will make sure you stay alive. :)

hehe xD

yup, definitely a grind you can do, but recommend a 2nd monitor to watch something on the side as its very repetitious xD

@@Aragon- ahah true, but this is how I play 90% of the time already, well for Neverwinter at least

In unscaled content or scaled? And are those other players as skilled as you? Try using a useless ring green ring with no bonus, and see if you still beat them, if yoy do, you can call that the best ring cause you beat them using it, lol xd you see my point? It's usually not cause one gear piece, but again it can depend on what content your running, in some fights mirage is good, in others they are bad

They nerfed them back in mod 16 they were bis for 15 and then boom wasted millions lol not to mention all the crap m16 brought oof dark days if they do this again the game is gonna be for sure dead especially on PlayStation lol we're barely alive as it is

I don't see them changing the bonuses anytime soon, but yes with cryptic, you never know

They've never nerfed the mc guild weapons. I still have my titansteale mc weapons and they're the same as they were 7 years ago.

Lost brain cells trying to read your comment

Ahaha, yes please!

@@Aragon- post artifacts pls! dps: Mythalar, Frozen xDDD

Mirage clones can't proc anything, not even the band of air. Yep companions do gain the bonus from Stronghold weapons, and that's great, but still +10% to your striker can overall just be like a 1% increase to the damage you deal on paingiver.

@@Aragon- learn something new every day thanks for the reply
