10 Skull Mask of Deception Completion: Review of Reaper, Dec14th-16th, Captain's Crew

[Sam-u-r-eye]

...some editing may occur to this post over the next few days...


What we ran:
1. 5 skull then 7 skull then 10 skull Mask of Deception. Completed
2. 8 skull Haunted Halls. Failed
3. 5 skull Slave Lords Part 1. Completed
4. 6 skull TOEE part 1. Completed

I'll try to get the other videos up.
The HH run wiped because of alert in the zombie area.
We did not have the DPS to deal with all the undead and were shortman.
Slave lords and TOEE were 6man groups. It was hard enough that we could have maybe done 7-8 skull but I think that would have been the tank's limit.

As sev mentioned elsewhere there was a bug in the Mask quest making it easier: reapers weren't spawning as frequently.

Caster Perspective
The mana orbs on the ground were a little over-powered. I played a DC caster all night and it made it a bit easy.
Hurl through Hell, and Soul-eater Capstone are both banishment instakills.
Along with Prismatic spray they go through death ward. This may need to be nerfed if the Devs want that.
I did not lead kill count in TOEE or Slave Lords, but I was most focused on crowd control, and insta-killing reapers.

Tank Perspective
(UserChat3): [devchat] Seagryn: 'id like a feat/destiny/enhancement that makes intim work on mindless things'
That was after Haunted Halls. The zombies are mindless. There are many mindless things in the game. A tank can do nothing to help you in that situation. A little grease would be lovely.

TEH TROLL'S PERSPECTIVE
HJEAL MEH!

Bugs
Party: [To Party] (Combat): You hit Dragonsoul Warrior for 1,207 points of bludgeon damage.
This was a Colors of the Queen proc, from past life, that seemed to go through the nerf.

cakes go through raise timer

As per the guild name... ...pale master healing is still bugged
