Lava Divers R10 Lord of Blades - World First Post U50, Gouda Free Completion!

[Lava_Diver]

And we're back! This one took us a few weeks of attempts to complete, but we pushed through and got it done with a pretty flawless run. Huge thanks to Gunga, Roub, Kanra, Grun, Matty, Fakkie, Turm, Viamel, Ying, Epic, Death, and Dom for the solid commitment and work to get this one done! MVP of this raid push is Kanra. Not only a god-tier healer, but he didn't even die once in the raid. Also, big shoutout to Grun for helping out on heals and allowing us get this raid push done! The link to our video is posted below by Carpone.

Well done, gentlemen!

Composition breakdown:

2 Tanks: Barbarian 20. We tried Paladin 20 tanks in previous attempts, and they underperformed.
2 Healers: Kanra (17 FvS/3 Paladin) and Grun (16 cleric/2 fvs/2 alchemist)
1 Debuffer (Turm): 12 FvS/5 Bard/3 Warlock
1 Knocker (Roub): 16 Monk/3 Fighter/1 FvS (T5 Shintao and Hensin All-Consuming Flame)
1 Instakiller (Daddymatty, our token leprechaun): 20 sorc with T5 fire for 15% more fire damage.
4 DPS: Bow build with Stand and Be Judged twisted, equipped with Red Dragonscale armor.
1 Wildcard: Dwarf Artificer 20 (RM capstone with greater dragonmark). The raid-wide 95% dmg reduction and individual radiant forcefields were clutch.

LOB's damage is dumb and overtuned on R10. He doublestriked our tanks for 5k (twice) enough for it to be a problem.

The last 5% of the raid with the Quiori trash is 95% of the raid. Took us about 8 attempts to get a smooth end fight. For comparison, we one-shot R5 LOB with 9 people and R6 LOB with 10 people.

We ran every conceivable debuff given our composition, both in terms of damage inflicted on LOB/dogs as well as reducing LOB's damage. And no, we didn't have the hidden colors proc which reduces mob damage by 95%. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC5ZPpdawdI

For perspective, R10 KT is still the hardest raid in the game.

awesome

MVP: Spell absorb. It is essential for the R10 completion. Without it, you will be wiping from tactical detonation, cyclonic blast from the dogs or LOB's Cometfall. The tanks exhausted Khyber's market of spell absorption scarabs.

Are those tank builds published anywhere?

Gunga might have put something up. Even if not, I learn something from pretty much every build he posts, so a review of his stuff would likely prove useful if you've not covered it already...

[TFerguson]

Praise be to Gunga.

[Carpone]

Gunga and Dom don't post to the forum. You can find them on Discord.

Awesome work!

[JOTMON]

Congrats its a beast of a raid.

Doh! Yep. My bad. Mixed up Gilga (Tronko) and Gunga. Apologies!

[Epicsoul]

Not to my knowledge, but I'm sure they'd share through discord.

[Kwyjibo]

Great job folks!!!

[Keybreaker]

Incredible!

I might have once ****ed off R10 LoB from the balcony, and this:

"(Combat): Lord of Blades's greater ruin hit you for 233,100 points of damage."

Soul is a lesser version of Epicsoul and founder of Epic Flail.

Cool. I learned a lot as a fill in during one of your attempts/troubleshooting runs. It was definitely a change of pace, next level of organization, and vast knowledge of game mechanics that went into the raid. So what is your total list of r10 raid completions?

So far, the only raids we haven't completed on R10 is Legendary Vision of Destruction, Caught in the Web, and Fall of Truth. Well, if you count heroics, we haven't done Abbot.

I'm afraid I missed the runs you joined us on, but I heard good things. I'm happy you got to tag along!
