Guide - Griklor the Restless with MQ2War MQ2Berzerker MQ2Cleric MQ2Bst & Kissassist

Yup, whatever that issue was is fixed.

Well yes and no, when he now paths outside the walls the geometry there is bad and you get a fail even if you are under him /sigh

Don't have lev on.

Don't have lev on.

Lev is like Selo's ! never go without it

Well, yea, except in Grik ... you'll periodically get failures with lev on (is what we found doing the raid, anyway).

 

[Sum1]

Side note, I did grik last night and didn't get it down in one drop.... I was very disappointed in myself

 

[EvilBarny]

use a two hander on the war that will shave some time =P

@Sic Im trying to figure out how you are roasting grik so well. I can get comparable dps numbers on all my toons, except my 2 BERs. Right now your berserkers are doing almost twice the dps on this mission. Are your berserkers in t3 with the best type 5 augs?

I’ve got mine silver with TBM augs, but I’m thinking about subbing them. Trying to make sure I’m not missing a puzzle piece somewhere else.

they were doing pretty alright when i did this video, but i completely re-rolled brand new toons from scratch after this video was made. Hdex for accuracy makes an incredible difference, but its doable in silver gear/setup.

I was able to repeatedly 1 drop griklor at 110 with tov T1/Heroic gear with 60-75% of max AAs for 110 with sk, clr, bard, zerk, zerk, bst --- without the SK would likely not have been possible with my crew at 110. when I was doing it at 110 my dudes just had the TBM hdex augs and basically nothing for type 7s. I did have zerk and bard epics when i was doing it at 110, so that helps a ton too

The absolute most important thing is engage time - you HAVE to have everyone fighting the second he is fightable - any second loss is going to hurt you - because you need to get him to 30% or w/e before he tries to fly up if you want to 1 drop and not deal with bullshit. you'll likely have a couple orcs pop on you while fighting but you can ignore them (if you open the chest they poof if you don't want to kill them).

I would disable any "fluff" stuff - like you are trying to kill this dude in 30 seconds or less - you don't need to slow it.

if you find yourself wanting to get more dmg you can pre-fire stuff you might have - like shammy dissdent roar or bst dissident fury, glyphs, w/e - anything that can get you more uptime and less clicking other stuff.

I messed around with this a bit and didn't really gain to much from it - but its definitely viable if your group isn't up to snuff

@Sic wow that’s crazy! So, you’re getting 1.5m from your zerks using chat’s plugin with the zerks in T1 and tbm augs?

I can 1 drop him no problem. It just seems like I’m missing something from my zerks. They’re 115, max aa, full tbm hdex with t1 ToV armor. Same group setup as you. They also have group dissident maxed.

I’m getting around 800k from my zerks on that burn usually instead of 1.4m I noticed in your parse. Do you think that bard and zerk epics make that much of a difference?

well again, the 2 videos i have for griklor were my FV crew while not fully juiced, they were pretty well off

for the new team when i was doing it at a 110-115 before i t3'd and was rocking the tov t1/heroic gear, I would get like 1.2ish on the SK (HT4tw), and somewhere between 800 and 1m on the zerkers, with the bst trailing behind a good bit (bsts scale weird with dmg imo and really need good earring/gear/AAs before they start to shine). the 110 1drop was something like 30-35 seconds total fight time.

I don't usually keep dpsadv running and haven't really chased a "best", but with my sk team in t3, with ~2k hdex my best parse i've noticed was 6m dps for griklor

bard and zerker epics definitely make a difference, especially at a lower gear lvl (like silver toons)

EQ is a game of accumulative inches - get everything you can. epics are an absolute no brainer

 

[ABDon]

A bard isn't really a bard without his epic 2.0 - it's that good (+140% accuracy? yes please)

 

[ChatWithThisName]

I don't use a bard and I'm not max AA. But I do have my epic 2.0 on both zerkers with dissident at rk 2. Still smashing out 990k to 1m DPS on grik if that helps answer the epic question.

 

[wymranar]

@ChatWithThisName thanks chat. I guess I’ll have to get my epics.

 

[wymranar]

Update: I can now get grik down at around 3.2m DPS. All silver toons except war. I'm hoping once I get their epics I will see even more improvement.

 

[durango773]

i see this in your sig now =-( awesome, thanks Sic!

Stupid question/comment on my part, maybe, but have you checked to make sure your zerkers have materials to summon axes? If they don't have all their axes summoned before the start of the event they're going to suck a D on dps.

 

[wymranar]

@Sum1 Yeah I do. I've realized I can get more dps out of them. I was doing the velks mission right before griks normally. So, I wasn't really waiting long enough to reset cooldowns.

Yea, for sure. If you're into min/max, most people will do Grik, Kael, GD, and Velks (or swap GD and Velks, if burns are up). That way you aren't waiting on burns because you did velks and grik too close together.
