IoD BAMs party-able?
Was just wondering. Only character I do them on is my mystic, but when I get a new mouse im going to try and get back to my priest, and I can 100% tell you with no shame that if I have to solo the IoD bams i probably wont be doing it at all. I dont like priest thaaaaat much.
Like, i wouldnt mind if i joined a party, but is having a priest for IoD even useful? Nobody really gets hit hard enough to die there anyways.

Yes but it all depends on how fast the party kills BAMs. Solo kills has a 100% chance to count towards Vanguard daily, I'm not sure what's the chance for party but its not 100%!
It's 100% even in a group, it will just alternate between the members of the group, whether they have the daily or not, or are even in range to receive credit.
in party you need to kill 10 bams PER player. So its makes no sense to make a party at least for healers is too [filtered] hard to kill T3 bams alone too much crit resist, yeah they cant kill me, but i wont to be the killer spoon.
PD: of course, you need dps crystals to kil bams as healer.
Bluehole really wants IoD to be solo content
Probably to avoid another TAR.
Two people means you're killing it faster, so for some people it will be faster than soloing. The point of the setup is so you can solo and not be punished for it, as the old bam dailies you ended up grouping and it was annoying at some times of the day.
Another example would be the Kuma/Naga bam quests from the Timescape patch. People multiboxed that thing. I mean, who doesn't want 5x the reward for 1x the work?
For the original topic, a well setup priest (yes, dps rolled weapon, gloves, crit jewelry and of course glyphs and crystals) can solo complete each set of 10 high-tier bams in about 6-7 minutes, and 4-5 for the midtier. Average keen mote droprate.
Kinda curious. What kind of hotfix they did there if you know/remember it? Did it save TAR over there?
Why the would you have a DPS rolled priest weapon? Priest is the only class in the game that can't properly DPS (or do anything properly but be a buffbot, with how utterly [filtered] stupidly overpowered mystics are). If you're a real priest, you wouldn't roll your weapon for DPS. If you just want an alt, well, why would you make it a priest? Aside from the fact that they're entirely obsolete thanks to Bufferinos, making one and giving it a DPS rolled staff is pointless when you could make any other class and have them do IoD faster. If you're going to have two weapons, that's a bunch of resources thrown away for little to no reason. And of course, the gloves and etchings. And semis for rerolling your jewelry. Let's not forget the chest roll either.
Why make a DPS weapon for a priest when you could just make a weapon for a class that actually is useful and that doesn't need to cripple itself with bad rolls or make two sets of gear?
Priest can kill BAMs just fine when rolled for dps, there were already videos of a priest last patch killing each BAM in a couple seconds with just Schisma. This was also before the Priest damage buffs too. After the update there are still Priests capable of killing them in a short time, but again, they have a set for damage. It's not even difficult to set up a second weapon anyways, especially with how feedstock has been raining from the sky. Having a dps class also doesn't mean you'll do them faster, it's all a matter of skill with the class.
They made TAR not repeatable. One and done.
Anyway. I don't think we need SF +15 to deal with IoD. If you are very cheap, just roll a secondary dps DN weapon for priest, get a DN glove also rolled for DPS and you will do decent damage. Seeing how ridiculously easy it is to get a +12 DN these days, there would be no problem for any healer who wants to do IoD to have a dps setup. Go Slaughter if you have the resources for that. But anyone cheap or poor can go with DN.
As for why anyone wants to do IoD with a priest, I'm not going to have an opinion over there because there may be a few valid reasons for it. So if someone wants to do it, go for it.
