Try this order - Jorteva - Charayan - Susarrak - Grendish

Jorteva has a big dot and a big DD so makes sense to get her out the way first, since there's no powerup at that point.... and Grendish absolutely has to be last, since he does a 90% snare, it's almost impossible to run to another dragon in time if you do him at any other point, unless you get lucky inbetween casts.

Sic got Grendish as third target, i didn't see any snare on him? it can be dispelled or cured?
 
@boosiebaby22590 @morisato @hytiek
I keep getting requests to know my dps on each of the dragons when i do this mission. I don't normally run dpsadv, but remembered to this time.

(my bard isn't using kiss here, trying out some stuff so you can see on the second mob he stopped doing stuff lol)

My dps is still not fully tov t3'd yet - their type 7 situation is rough and their 18/19 is non existant still

Turn off burns to start
order:
1 - Charayan
2 - Susarrak
turn on burns for 3rd/4th
3 - Grendish
3.5 - bullshit flying guy
4 - Jortreva

The crew I use for this is SK, Cler, Shm, Rog, Enc, Mage. The Cleric and Shaman use cwtn plugins, but everyone else on kissassist. T3 CoV gear. Cleric has battlemode on and shaman is DPS stance.

I use the same strat as Sic in terms of turning burns off until Dragon #3, but I do use some swarm pet mini burns with SK and mage on the 2nd one to ensure I don't get a drake add until the 3rd.

I use conditions on my kissassist toons to disable burns in my DPS section for Charayan & Susarra. These are the conditions I have that cover this mission and the sleepers one for all my burns under the DPS section. Maybe not the most efficient, but it works perfectly for me:
Code: 
i.e. DPS1=Improved Twincast|100|Cond4

Cond4=(${Target.Named} &&  ${Cond[5]} && ${Cond[6]} && ${Cond[7]} && ${Cond[8]} && ${Cond[9]} && ${Cond[10]})
Cond5=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Cargalia]}
Cond6=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Honvar]}
Cond7=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Sivar]}
Cond8=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Melalafen]}
Cond9=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Charayan the Crusader]}
Cond10=!${Target.DisplayName.Equal[Susarrak the Crusader]}

In the DPS section of my kissassist toons, I have my mage and enchanter refresh shield of destiny on fade and the enchanter refreshes all the good spell/dot runes in combat if they fade. I find that keeping these runes up together with 2 healers prevents any of my crew from dying and I rarely have anyone go down on this mission even though my DPS isn't amazing.
Code: 
DPS2=Deviser's Auspice|98|cond1
DPS3=Shield of Destiny|99|cond2
DPS4=Deviser's Unity|97|Cond3

Cond1=!${Me.Buff[Deviser's Auspice].ID}
Cond2=!${Me.Buff[Shield of Destiny].ID}
Cond3=!${Me.Buff[Polycascading Rune].ID}
 
One tip for this event is the blob starts at the main entrance and then turns left to go around the rectangular loop. So, I make sure I start with the upper left dragon so I can be sure that I'll be out of the left side long before Mr. Blob spawns and fucks up my world. Doing it this way, I can usually be finished all four dragons before the first blob makes it around to the right side of the map.

For people who have boxed this mission. Are you guys doing it in group gear or raid gear ?
Click to expand...

I know Sic isn’t using any raid gear. I do have some raid gear (my tank is fully raid geared, ranger, zerker, bard have raid weapons, my cleric is group geared).
 
I'm in group gear - not even fully pimped out either - which i explain

its cause zerkers + adps = stronk

my team is like 7/8 months old and not super geared (just group geared and definitely not fully aug'd)
my 2 zerkers are 2100-2300 hdex (not even hitting that 2400 mark :(
my bst is like 2100 hdex
I only have lvl 3 rallos earring on my non-tank and none of my non-tank have any 18/19s (no accuracy one for example).

they have toons of room for improvement, and are not brag worthy by any stretch.

omg thank you for that tip that helped me finally complete this mission. starting top left and moving around with moving the dragons closer to the wall when the cube came by made it easy.

Sic how did you get beyond 2k hdex for your zerkers? must have been many ToV/TBL missions?

Click to expand...
type 5s give so much hdex. even if you had to farm just the tbl ones - they're still 55hdex which is way better than 0hdex or the tbm 32 hdex (tho if your toon is new you can remnant of tranquility some hdex so you're not 0 while you farm missions).

the TBL missions are plentiful and they give a generous amount of currency - I definitely would recommend hitting these if you're still short on type 5s, as farming tov/cov is much much slower
 
q8reflex said:
Cooliez, but is i get 21 type5 augs it will push hdex to only 1155! how to hit the 2K mark?
Click to expand...
type 7s, and gear, and as you can, the tov/cov type 5s =p

i mean its not a mystery get with hdex gives you hdex =p

out of other choices being the same, i almost always choose the one with the most hdex --- which ends up being like 1 here and 3 there - but it all adds up eventually.

don't forget each xpac has a "xpac world drop" type 5 (at least for ros, tbl, tov, cov) - these are lore, but a few more heroic stat than the mission bought one - get that.

there's also the 18/19s

and then also the crafted 5s and 7s from the xpacs


Type 7s by HDex
Type 5s by HDex
 
Yeah i have a project now, revisit ToV and TBL for more crystal ores and muhbis's. atm i'm, grinding ToV missions for ducats in order to get more hdex on my zerkers, i can see the slight upgrade which is amazing.

the DR curve bumps are on the 400 marks so 1600, 2000, 2400 are what you want to shoot for

You get 20-25 per item now also going back a few expansions even in non prestige gear so that sanother 400 +. You can get 15 or more in most slot 7s also so thats another 300. Artisan aug has 300 if you max TSs to 350. After that COV slot 5s farm zlandicar it will take 2-3 months but worth the return especially for dps or tanks not so much for casters. Pretty sure you can get over 3k
 
same type 5 augs for any heroic stat drop of mobs
u can farm missions.......................................
or go farm named (Hint Hwis Hsta etc) all drop from mobs instead of building currency

anyone done this on test after patch? any difference?

Done it a few times - honestly I don’t notice a difference. I don’t think people will find it any easier. Ary yes - Crusaders no.
 
Was able to down this one finally on about my 5th try. I think before most were getting the aoe or frontal cone. So this last time I tried it I set their chase distance farther from me and the clerics a lot farther so when they followed me in they weren't so close and stayed at the rear. It was frustrating because my cleric kept dieing before leaving me with no heals. Group was SK,Zerk,Zerk,Bst,Bard,Cleric….I think the main issue with this one is not the dps , it's managing those aoes and group heals

Next time, try this on your healer:

/plugin mq2heals
/heals on

And see how your cleric does. I run mq2heals with kissassist all the time and absolutely love it.

you should absolutely not turn on mq2heals if you are using mq2cleric.

and yes, as in the videos you should avoid getting frontalled by the dragons I mentioned this in the video - regardless of what you were using you shouldn't stand in front of the dragon and eat frontal for no reason.

with mq2cleric (since that's what reece is using) you can either increase your chase distance so you dont come so close, or "park" your cleric like mode 0 or 1, or just turn on usemelee and let your cleric fight the mob from behind.
 
Sorry, didn’t notice he was using mq2cleric. Does he actually say that anywhere or are you able to see his subscription?
