I have an old video out on my channel when I was in +15 starfall and took me around 15 minutes to kill hydra, giant and naga on my lancer (that time if u get hit, u lose the "hold the line stack"). Since I upgraded to Imperator and also if I have some luck, sometimes I can finish the three bams in 10 minutes now (without bravery/noctenium) if the bams are not spread far from each other and no one is there. There are days I crit a lot but other days I don't crit as much; it's weird. With full HTL stack + keen emote + quatr. brooch is not even 100 percent crit rate from the front lol.
When I tried the bams on my gunner (slaughter gear), it takes so much longer to kill them because the control is not the same when doing it on a tank class.
Make it 100%. Doing the bams on several alts gets very tedious and very fast. Personally I hate doing it.
With 100% keen mote drop rate, you COULD do bams with DN Priest as fast as DPS in +15 Imperator.
So people with fewer alts or new players COULD do it easily too.
Is it too hard for you to understand? Wtf does "doing it wrong" have to do with anything?
if you want to defend "IoD for priests" you should ask for a buff on dmg, similiar to ghilliglade, not a 100% drop rate on motes....
No, I just did it because I'm missing other important DPS gear like a DPS Brooch and Gloves (DN works fine) which a DPS geared Dread Priest would have. The non-mote BAM took 25 seconds. The mote BAM took 10 seconds.
There's another thread today that's proposing doubling dungeon drop rates permanently too, and it underscores this sort of problem that a lot of people used to be making their money by farming mats and selling them on the broker, and now are having a harder time "making ends meet." But this isn't only due to supply, but also due to demand given that we're nearing the end of a gear cycle. Further devaluing these mats won't really balance the scales, it'll just continue to have cascading consequences that carry over into the next cycle, and people are going to be in for a rude awakening when BHS resets everything. So again, I'm not sure that the answer to things being cheaper is to keep making things easier/faster. (The actual answer is that we need a gold sink, but...)
That's 29 seconds. And you even use Noct. Lol. And who the hell buys brooch and get dps gear for healer alt just for IoD. Sorry but pointless video.
Show me how fast do you kill 10 giants ?
Now imagine you have keen motes all the time like in EU, you kill everything in 10s with schisma even. That is my point.
thats is what we should avoid... why turn that thing THAT easy? do want even more mindless farming? because thats how u get ultra mindless farming
Started at 0:07-0:08. Ended at 0:33-0:34. That's not 29 seconds. And as I said I used Noct to make up for the fact that I'm missing a lot of cheap bonuses that you can use.
Sorry that you can't spend 5k to get DPS Dread gloves to +12 since it's just an IoD farmer for you. You can even go for a DPS topline on your chest and leave that at +9. Simple Empowered/QC Brooch is fine. I'm using a Cleansing Brooch and don't have Crit Inners or temp etchings. You can definitely do better. I didn't even do that well with rotation as I missed out on using a Tornado and didn't start with a TN.
Yeah but it's not the point. You can kill 1000 bams and record the fastest maybe in 20 seconds but what will you prove then? I said 20 seconds randomly because i never do IoD with Priest so i overestimated it. With keen motes you can kill them way faster in any case.
That video is not pointless but it rather does show some points. One that it shows if a priest is geared even decently and also has decent setup/rotations, can finish bams quests in a respectable amount of time. Heck this is even better than some brawlers to be honest. I've heard stories and also seen myself one time where a brawler spent 1 minute trying to kill a bam, which is really bad. Even though the priest uses noctenium in this video, it's because is missing other things like innerwear/etchings and without those still doing decent damage.
This video also helps a lot of people who play priest class and are not as famililar or never knew that they can do damage like this because most healers are used to the healing part when doing things. Another thing is that some people may only have healer classes so this is an option they'd have to go for if they don't have alt classes.
Maybe in EU it's different than in NA so that is also one thing to keep in mind before judging someone else from a different region. Some people have to be so elitist even about little things and don't see the big picture of what is being portrayed.
