Revenants beat The Master Artificer Epic.

[Phalcon]

We did however just run it again on Elite and there was no difference in difficulty other then Elite mobs had even higher saves then the Epics did.

[Phalcon]

Don't get me wrong, I am sure you it was difficult and expensive. I was just hoping that they would get a raid out that on the hardest difficulty setting it would challenge people like you and Teth and Groan with its completion for at least a few days.

I hear ya, well for what its worth (and I can only speak for myself not the others) but it was a challenge for sure.

Anyone else notice how many arcane and divine casters are in the group?

[Nick_RC]

Grats!!!

I see many deaths.....33 to be exact. Suppose there is a lot of lag in there?

Haha yeah if we werent all on self sufficient toons there would have been many many many more.

Grats bro.

That's why peeps better recognize Nick as the best of the best.

Appreciate the sentiment bro but (un)fortunately these guys are all badass mofos - i was running around like a headless chicken trying to spot a cheeky spying dev and figure out a puzzle... for some of it at least. You, Soul and cully should stop in

We would have loved to have had some big fat melees in there trust me. Go hp heavy or go home melees. If anything these raids will help rebalance some of the power shift (especially the arrtifcer one).

Thanks for tip on melee. Any other advice for classes to do well in this content? (And of course I'm aware player skill > build.)

Its all skill and communication man. Any class combo will work thinking about it - melees are definately nice. There is a tonne of incoming damage (on epic anyway) so having healers who are on their toes is important.

Okay folks so today we ran this quest on Epic x1 then we ran it on Elite x1 and then ended the night off with a quick Normal run (18 Min).



Here are some things that I noticed:

Elite is harder then Epic or at least it is on Lama. Its basically the same as Epic only the mobs have higher saves it seems.

Normal isn't that bad. I can see this being what people run the raid on once it goes live. On Epic/Elite Its absolutely insane. on Normal is comparable to maybe a little harder then Tod normal.

This raid is made for a balanced party meaning not all casters/fvs so all you melee players are going to be having some major fun!

[LordPiglet]

If turbine is leaving this as crafting only rewards from the raids...its truly one of the dumbest moves they made. Now everyone that wants to run the new content, to get any reward from it, they HAVE to do cannith crafting? Really? I don't have hours and hours to put into the new crafting. That truly kind of sucks.

It's not cannith crafting, it's alchemical crafting which would be new with this update.

High hp, or high heal amp? Or both?

Its like greensteel weapon crafting, on drugs.

[Ziindarax]

Its like greensteel weapon crafting, on drugs.

I dunno about that, the greensteel weapons seemed to have a stronger base hit-die than some of the alchemical weapons people linked/screen-shotted.

[xTethx]

If you dont know where to be and when to be there then you are gonna need over 650-700 hp to not get pwned. The artificer raid is more burst dmg in chunks whereas Lord of the Blades is consistent dmg.

Meth, or coke?

By the looks of it, you could for example make the below Triple Earth weapon with *all* of the following abilities, and I think the first thing you have to do is give the weapon a metal type, but someone would have to confirm that. And it seems you can mix and match elements.

Tier 1:
Acid Burst
Greater Stone Prison
Earthgrab

Tier 2:
Exceptional Con 2
Acid Blast
Disintegration

Tier 3:
+6
Corrosive Blast (15d6 on vorpal, 34dc reflex for half)
Red Slot

What does it use for ingredients?
