Saenth Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Probably, because scaling from 8m to 16m is insane. 39k thundering blasts Only 39k when buffed though. I'll grant you that you can survive buffed thundering blasts sometimes on 8m, but it's still like 30k on 8m which is no guarantee of survival. Definitely no room for error on 16.

namesaretough Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks everyone <3 We have been on it for quite a while but is still derping around in Phase 2, do you mind if I ask which setup you used for classes and roles? I feels like we hit quite the wall due to lack of DPS and maybe I can find a clue in your setup Our comp was VG/Guard tank, 3 scoundrel 1 sage 1 commando healers, 2 sentinel, vanguard, shadow, sage, 4 slinger dps. edit: is that 3k damage taken per second I see on Smugglin's parsec !!!! Yep, my dtps was normally 3.2-3.5k on long pulls, although that drops at the end with the burn. Here's the screencap of the relevant parsec window, but a couple of our people weren't synched http://i.imgur.com/cexQmST.png Only 39k when buffed though. I'll grant you that you can survive buffed thundering blasts sometimes on 8m, but it's still like 30k on 8m which is no guarantee of survival. Definitely no room for error on 16. The real killer/only RNG I complain about is shock/tb/slam all hitting within a second of each other, which is 35k+ on any ranged or healer and basically a guaranteed death on a kiter Edited June 20, 2014 by namesaretough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namesaretough Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We have one that starts 2-3min after the pull, and hopefully we'll get a full recording this week, but we'll wait to release it until someone else kills it (or maybe till Thursday, a week after our kill, if noone's killed it by then).

namesaretough Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Grats undercon! We got a couple full recordings of council this week, but as I've heard several guilds are almost at a kill/tickling the burn phase we're going to wait to release a video until another group kills it. GL guys! I can't wait to see how other groups handle the fight, it seems like there's a decent amount of flexibility in the p1/p3 strats depending on your comp. P.S. athough the fight is certainly killable, it's really frustrating having pulls get ended by bad luck on tyrans shocks/thundering blasts. A kiter dying to shock right before the knockback (no chance for the second threat to turn raptus before the telegraph) has to be the most depressing RNG in the game to date, even worse than NiM cartel warlords was back at SV release. It's just another reminder that they don't test 16m content. Edited June 27, 2014 by namesaretough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXDark_ShadowXx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sad but kinda true (remember PTS Calphayus 16 Nim). Btw I'm not sure if Ace is gonna end this in 16-man or 8-man, due to some people no more available, so that's it. Also sad but true. Another one bites the dust....I think Ambassadors also went to 8m for the DP race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to be an 8m guild and swapped to 16m for this tier. First one isn't by the format rules, but the 2nd should be ok. Calphy should definitely be good. Forgot UTC for Raptus, but it was 30min after Calphy by the achievement. If this is unsatisfactory, I can link the stream with Tyrans/Calphy/Raptus being downed. Grats to Severity for sweeping this round of progression! Edited June 29, 2014 by Headpunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headpunch Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Why was a particular screenshot removed Thats no fun Oh and that 16 sky boss dps challenge lols I was asked by my guildmates to swap screenshots for personal reasons. DPS Challenge on Raptus in 16m is hilariously easy. Council is probably going to stomp on us for a while, should be fun though.
