Question - ToB Missions targeting and control!

/vent on

All 4 missions penalize dps'ing the boss which means you can't really let your automation run wild. In fact it's almost like the events were designed to screw with automation users. It just seems a lot of manual work to manage your automation effectively.

Well played mission designers!

/vent off

I have MQ'd and hand played them, the events are silly, and made to be slow because.. content

 

[Myndbender]

Giving a group mob this ability is a nightmare for automation. @Sic is there an easy way with CWTN Plugins to do non-dmg tanking and range DPS?

Well, casters with sufficient campradius will do it just fine - but melee/hybrids that don't have a usemelee off - no. You'd just want to pause them

You can burn thru warlord mission and Theater mission if you dont care for puddle achievement

I never can get the burn through those missions figured out. You need to kill guardians before the name. Can't just burn the name on Warlord.

You need to kill the replicants before you kill the name. for the TOE one.

High priest you need to kill the acolytes before the high priest

Warlord you burn from 60% to 40% to avoid the floor tilt, there is no fast kill easy mode for that one.

Hazuri, the replicants die fast with enough under a heavy burn. So take boss to 2%, then kill just the replicants and then kill the boss

Priest, the trick is to use the Rectors to remove all the acolytes. There are a set of Acolytes that spawn at 2% on the Priest and they take a few seconds to activate, so you have to wait for them to go agro before killing the Rectors. I usually take the rectors down to 25% before starting the burn. Push boss to 2%, wait for spawns, then drop rampage on the rectors to kill them and all the Acolytes go *poof*.

You can do some klugey stuff if you have your melee in mode one, and drag the mob in and out of their campradius while tabbing from the mob to yourself and back....but its REALLY klugey. Easiest way to handle this mob is to just wait for the effect to fade (its not 100% uptime) and then burn it down before it re-applies.

I use KissAssist for my automation. For some reason it seems hard coded to target the boss mob upon every add death. I need to figure out a Lua or something to auto prioritize the next add mob instead of the boss. That alone would remove 90% of the annoyance of these events.

Edited to remark: I've already put the boss name in the MobsToIgnore setting of Info file and the adds in the MobsToPull setting. It makes no difference what gets targeted the next time.

100% correct, dont worry about acolytes

When done this way mission usually takes less than a minute

TOE when boss goes active you kill replicants only and boss.
