Tower of the Mad Mage was increased from 30k to 50k Item level. Thus means Halaster's Damage and Hp go up. Here we test out how challenging it has gotten, and yes, it brings back the more defensive requirements we had back in the Day. A paladin healer becomes pretty much a must to survive, if your crit by certain powers.

All hypos in the game are tuned for the bugged barkshield. Nobody complained about that because endgame dps has 800k hp and who is not endgame is presumed to be a bad player. So it is nothing special about hypo in Tomm, it is exactly like all the others just reality caught up with Double.the.item,level.as.the.instance-players. We used to mitigate heatwave and superstorm with 2 griffons, bulette, 2 swarms, 2 wyverns, paladin sigil and we had all tacticals in utility for incoming healing, as you know. At the ground to cloud-second purple wave mechanic 4,27 min you did not dodge, it is no russian roulette.

@azurastar00 2 жыл бұрын

I have a few things to say about trial in general. 1. The rewards are not great or outdated so most ppl just get it once and stop doing it...but the ability to sell the weapons is a really great incentive (for ToMM) 2. I know ppl appreciate how hard It is, but i think its too much because one minor bug or lag can mess up the whole thing. For example: the halaster is not showing up fast enough on the sky , however that does not extend the duration of his atk so we barely have time, If any, to make a move when It happens. 3. Mechanics are too tight, its too hard, ppl who complete once with a team, thats their team forever, no one is gonna inv another person. Thats true even for the others trial that are easier! U might be thinking " i bet u r trash dps", no im 72k dc, If anyone gets a spot eventually, its the supports. I dont usually try to do ToMM cause i know, as healer, i take the hypo...but If i Cant see the Mage flying i cant do It. Never tried zariel, no point. Tried CoK, didnt complete but im certain that If anyone makes a grou now, they will ask exp ppl only and will exclude me even though CoK mecs are too easy and the healer has to do nothing but heal.

I personally requested this on the live Twitch stream with Nito and Ryan and I'm very happy they updated ToMM. This is Halaster, whom has lived thousands of years, traversed planes, dimensions, and crystal sphere worlds, built and controls the most notorious dungeon known in D&D, and is amongst the most powerful wizards known in Forgotten Realms. It should be the hardest trial on the game without question in my opinion and makes it that much more challenging and fun to do. Unfortunately there's little motive to without updating the rewards as well. Incorporating a way to upgrade ToMM rings and Lionheart weapon set stats and IL, perhaps like they did with Chult weapons and gear via Exalted, along with adding some new companion gear would inspire players to grind it out again. One can hope, but I know better than to hold my breath.

Soul shield picks us up when we die, it does not keep us from dying. We still get a death stack. Not different from using a scroll of life, unless there is a feature of the enchant I am missing.

@@flinnty608 never said it would stop you dying just saying it can help mitigate the deaths yes scrolls can too but scrolls run out eventually or you have to be spending ad to buy more, once you have soul shield you don't need the scroll, again I'm not saying it will stop you dying or be an ultimate fix just something else that might help

@GastNdorf 2 жыл бұрын

1) soul shield is unreliable (as in sometimes it stops working, well like it should actually) and sometimes you get two stacks for one death. If you die during stuff like hypo that’s 5 stacks guaranted

@grandmasteryoda3187 2 жыл бұрын

@@GastNdorf yes it needs fixing certainly quite a buggy enchantment but I wouldn't say too unreliable, I use it quite often, never had a double stack of death debuff from a single revive personally, yes sometimes it doesn't work when it should but it also works at times when it shouldn't, example in fang breaker island if you get caught in the ice and no gets you out soul shield will revive you even though your supposed to be totally out, it also works with other instant out situations like svardborg. I'm not saying soul shield is the ultimate enchantment but I totally see how it can be extremely useful especially for healers and tanks is it the only thing ofc not, is it going to work 100% of the time most likely not in its current state but if say it works more than 80% of the time, and it just that as a bit of safety, more useful a healer using that than an offensive combat enchantment imo, for tanks we have a few choices to jump between depending on situation but again I will slot soul shield on my tank if IV got a bad healer or want to bypass a wipe mechanic and it as saved me time after time and if I do manage to get taken down I know I noone will have to wait for me to be revived it will happen instantly and I can than instantly grab the aggro back. Again not the be all and end all but just a suggestion to help get people back into the fight faster if they do go down. Can't stress enough I'm not saying soul shield is perfect but it does have its uses

ok but is burst damage really the only way to build lately? what if the enemies survive the burst and you're just in limbo waiting for cooldowns to come down. i've seen this on bosses so many times. full burst of damage, then 30 seconds barely anything, and repeat, it honestly is starting to feel boring having to tank for those types of dps. idk

@GastNdorf 2 жыл бұрын

Your only alternative is full time « barely anything »

@Aragon- 2 жыл бұрын

the cooldown on artifacts and mount powers is 1 min. Daily powers, on most classes usually take 50s of full combat time (without any extra ap gain), so it is best to just stack all these things together, for full burst damage.

@draconicpeasantsheep 2 жыл бұрын

@@GastNdorf sadly i don't hear anyone finding any decent continuous dmg builds. heck my warden ranger can deal a ton of burst dmg, but when left to atwills alone it's just waiting for encounters to return, i mean sure the storm weapon buff daily is damn strong, but you don't always have enough ap. i kinda miss the days where the boss health consistently melted instead of lagged to 0. idk maybe we'll see another meta shift in the future, who knows

@flinnty608 2 жыл бұрын

@@draconicpeasantsheep I think the melee warden is the closest class we have in game for steady continual damage. Yes, you can burst your encounters all at the same time, but doing so actually losses you damage. The warden's flurry feature which doubles the damage from our at wills for 3 seconds makes an ideal rotation spread the encounters out evenly with 3 seconds of at wills in between them.

It went from having a full group coordinating debufs and mitigation to a d**k measuring contest for dps players. Not saying it's good that a lot of the random stuff 1 shots, but considering it's one of the hardest trials in the game mechanically, it should be a bit harder and require full cooperation from the group.
