Dear Microcosm, 

 

I have now completed that same mission with my Warshade.  It went quite well.  

 

WS vs Carnies +4 x8

 

 

Until next time,

 

AIB

Awesome job!

[Honest Abe]

Microcosm,

 

I decided to undertake your Arachnos challenge with my Peacebringer. 

 

The video will appear below soon.  (It is currently processing.)

 

PB vs. Arachnos +4 x8

 

Regards,

 

AIB

[Microcosm]

Good job! Anyone that watches that should see why Arachnos can become a problem at that level. Also highlights the fact we have no end drain protection 🙂

 

If we keep going at this rate I'll need to rename this to Honest Abe's Bounty Board...

Seriously lol. I haven’t had much play time to grind out incarnate these last few days so I’m still behind.

Currently in the process of running the Carnies bounty. Have no idea how to record my screen so is there an alternative proof I can provide

Good job AIB... again 😄 When should I expect the pylons to bow before you (jk, maybe)

Hmm, will have to think if we've got an alternate method. A large part of the fun of this is seeing how people do it, so the vids are obviously ideal. They are also pretty long though...

[Septipheran]

At this point, I'm not even going to try and participate because I'm rooting so hard for a clean sweep from Abe 🙂

Do you care if we edit them down here and there, like between groups

If they’d set the test server back to free incarnate abilities I’d copy mine over and try some. I still haven’t unlocked everything on my Pb so I’m not at my top yet. I’ll do all of these eventually just for the fun of it. All but WS pylon, fuck that thing I can’t seem to stay alive on it.

I suppose if you can survive a few groups in a row that would indicate you can do the rest of the mission. So I think that's fine. Wouldn't edit a Pylon video though; they are much shorter.

Yeah I’m just thinking the missions, I can keep the fights, but can probably save a few video minutes of me walking down hallways lol.

 

pylon doesn’t need an edit, if it’s not a quick video then I failed lol.

[nicoliy]

For now a couple pics, was on my laptop so no recording. I’ll do another run a different day and record it. Forgive crap quality and it being sideways , not sure why that is.

[nicoliy]

Here's what I learned about carnies. Groups of 3 bosses will down me sometimes. I was able to escape sometimes, but did die a few times too. Double Dark Ring Mistresses with a Master Illusionist is hard to manage. Otherwise I found a really good rhythm. I'd buff up, run in, and Photon Seeker -> Dawn Stike -> Judgement -> Solar Flare, then whatever was needed for what was left. If a boss, likely my ST chain. All in all I started off not so well, but adapted over time and now feel pretty good about carnies.

 

FYI this is on test as they enabled incarnates today so I could skip to T4.

[Microcosm]

Lowered WS Pylon target to 230 dps.

[nicoliy]

Another idea is how many things can you tank on Monster island before you die or hit aggro cap and can't die. We do this on tankers.

[nicoliy]

Ok Ugh. PB pylon 7 minutes lol. I think that's 219 dps if I'm doing the math right. I can upload the video if anyone wants, but it's way out of time limit.

 

Edit to say I had hybrid off. Going to run another test with it to see what it does.

Edited February 19, 2020 by nicoliy

[nicoliy]

With Hybrid on it was 5:34. Way better. I'm sure I can get the 7 min down, but not to that without Hybrid. I think that's a dps of 242. Better for sure, but still not the target.

 

I may have to make a pylon specific build to do it. I already have -res and procs in my attacks so I need to think about what that would need differently.

 

Edit to add video:

 

 

Here's the build I've been doing the challenges with.

Carnie mission uploading. Die a few times, usually on multi-boss fights. My favorite was 3 Dark Ring Mistresses in the pack, one a Quantum. It's an hour long so will be a bit before youtube uploads, but you can mark me down soon 🙂

 

Lol I totally forgot I died on the first group, was a great start.

That looks like a good general build, for which your times are pretty inline with expected for a high-performing pb. Hitting the goal time is going to require some creative choices for sure. Generally procs need to come into play, but it's possible a different attack chain could help too. I personally haven't found a better attack chain than what you're using, but it's possible some form dancing might help. The problem with form dancing is you can't run assault or whatever other toggles you might want, but maybe it's worth it for Nova Eye or something. For a warshade form dancing definitely seems worth it, but toggles are more important for survival there.

PB vs. Pylon

 

You said about 3:10 right? 

 

It can be done. 🙂

No vanguard were harmed in the making of this production ... I think? XD

Does Abe win all the trophies yet? Hilarious stuff.
