    Asking priest to kill 10 BAM like other classes is just stupid...It will be better if the number of kills needed is different for each class. For people saying about honing skills and experience, I don't think priest need to hone dps skills.

    But IoD is not something that MUST be done in order to play the game. You get 8 vanguards to spend wherever you like, and healers are very sought after on dungeons and pvp. So as healer, you don't need to be stuck doing only IoD if you don't want. I feel IoD is more for DPS classes who cannot queue into anything fast enough. But that's just my opinion.

    I know it is not a must, but that is very unfair to priest because the token rewards are really good. Dungeon VG rewards can't even compare to the IoD tokens, not even close.

    feazeshero, Thank you for uploading. I have +15 reaper and sorc. One of my brawler is +14 SF and farming brawler is +12 Slaughter. My lancer is +12 Slaughter.

    I can clear 3x high tier bam quests in about 15~18min with +12 slaughter brawler. But, with +12 lancer, it takes about 25~28min. Lancer is surely easy as brawler and more fun. But, idk, at +12 lancer isn't fast as +12 brawler.

    But, again, thank you for making it.

    You're welcome :)

    That and the only reason dungeons are halfway decent right now is because of the feedstock jackpot event. Once that's over, the imbalance will be even more apparent.

    I agree. It's not fair for priest and another classes. My +12 dps mystic clears 3x high tier IOD bam quests in 17~20min. And, it's faster than +15 sf reaper and sorc. I will never do IOD Bam with sorc again.

    1. Mystic's blast and smite are another OP skills. Meta blast has 50% chance to reset skill again. +12 slaugther(dps roll) mystic can do 1.5mil~1.8mil with frontal crit hit. Sometimes, I hit 8x times of Blast in a row in less than 4~5 sec. It's like 2 times faster than auto attack.

    2. Meta smite hit 2.5~4.8mil frontal crit on high tier bam with +12 slaughter. It's not even back crit. My +14 sf brawler can't hit 4.8mil crit except Divine wrath. +15 SF reaper can't hit 4.8 mil crit with Sundering strike. Mystic's meta smite is so OP and it's CD is like 3 sec.

    3. Corruption ring - another OP skill. Mystic won't get knocked down or stunned while using this skill. I didn't count. But, it hits like 10 times in about 10 sec. From front, it hits 200-280k without crit. crit dmg is about 1.5-1.8mil.

    4. I am lazy. And, I use wrathful and savage crystals on mystic weapon. It's half and half. But, It's easier.

    Top tier - Brawler and Mystic.
    2nd best tier for IOD BAM - Ninja, Lancer.
    Worst - Sorc.

    Probably why you can't sorc. Sorc requires skills. :pleased:


    It is possible to have skills and still be lazy :)

    I'd explain more but I'm also lazy :)

    I'm one of those that hates IoD. But I guess i finally realized why it was done that way. Old days if someone here remembers/was playing, kumas/nagas followed by beloved TaR, those had one issue and that issue was big. It was killsteals and reserved channels. Where plox with good gear would farm all day on all accounts, leaving new players out.

    I guess IoD as solo thing was the response to that. No one ks and push others outta channel. Correct me if I'm wrong

    I think it would be nice if the harder mobs dropped keen motes more frequently, but, other than that, I would prefer it to stay as solo content

    My DN mystic doesn't have any dps stats on weapon. Maybe that's why I take so long killing Tier 3s. DN weapons are easy to make. Might make me a dps tuned DN weapon and get more serious on my crystal setup to test. Should also get more serious in terms of a back crit setup. With double base crit buff(Mystic buff only doubles your base crit if you didn't know), cutter jewels and 2 keens (because I don't feel like paying a fortune for broker keens and I'm using my VG credits on MWA boxes), my Mystic's CF is still rather low at around +156.5.

    @Nopi, you might don't know this but after the patch you get 4 keens (vyrks) ones you finish N.Arun story line.

    Not on healers. :(
    Got some zyrks. Forgot which. And not knowing myself if a crit build is viable or not for crit heals, I went and farmed healer vyrsks.

    Crit build is viable for mystics, I use a crit build on mine. I did this even before it started becoming the meta. use corvette ring and earing and shadowvain ring and earing and shadow gate neck.

    @dinners sorc is not the worst class to do IoD bams. I clear them on my sorc pretty fast. I use cc to keep them in place and then dodge to keep up backtime. It's faster when they don't resist my stun though, more backtime if I can stun them.

    Yeah. I really wanna see any Sorc in N/A clears 3x high tier bam IOD quests in 20min.

    what ilvl do you have to be to get the high-tier mobs?

    Somewhere around 402 I believe. Maybe 401 or 400, but 402 is +12 DN with ship accessories, undergarments and a brooch.
