mediocregatsby 18 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 had a little time before raid last night so i went and did the bronze, silver, gold dps proving grounds. the main challenge just seems to come from having no warning whatsoever about what the next wave will be like, so certain waves will just be really hard on your first try and then really easy after that. also it scales your gear down to 463 so i found destro has a much easier time than affliction. and if you are playing affliction, make sure you end every wave with full shards because you won't have a chance between waves to recharge them. didn't even bother trying demo, can't imagine it does much better than destro. so, how far into endless mode have you guys gotten? there's a title/achieve for 30 waves i think.

Annoroth 5 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 I was messing around for a bit yesterday, and got up to Silver for DPS (as Affliction, 4717 BP). Also got the Bronze tank as Demo. Probably going to go back either today or Friday for more. Anyone gotten silver as a tank yet? I think I'm close, but the lack of vengeance does hurt.

mediocregatsby 18 Report post Posted September 19, 2013 got bored and had the night off yesterday, hit wave 34 on endless and earned the title (lame title but i dont see a lot of people wearing it at least) found it very helpful to use shadowfury, unbound will, and gosup as destro. if you clear all the mobs but an amber ball is still floating around, it will keep you in combat until it goes away. one trick i used often was intentionally letting the amber ball hit me so i could unbound will out of it to get out of combat and change talents for the next wave (switching between KJC and AD). if you still have ICD trinkets from tier 14 raids, you should probably use those instead of RPPM ones. i stuck it out with t15 trinkets but i'm pretty sure that just made it more difficult.

Zagam 1,982 Report post Posted September 19, 2013 Going to have to buy another Relic of Yu'lon, it seems. Time to fish up that Elegon trinket, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediocregatsby 18 Report post Posted September 19, 2013 ugh yeah i was seriously wishing i didnt DE my elegon trinket last night. i got the achieve using wush and cha-ye though. kind of a miracle i havent DE'd cha-ye yet. also no LMG or cloak procs allowed in there -_- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zagam 1,982 Report post Posted September 19, 2013 Thing that sucks is I got silver but ran out of time before raid. I did it as destruction with UVLS and Breath...both of which never proc at 463. I might invest before caring...I just think I've done enough proving myself to care about that yet. WTB more Brawler's Guild ranks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazistrasz 216 Report post Posted September 20, 2013 I got gold as destro with Breath and Wush (my normal raid gear). I was finishing every wave with 15-20sec left on the timer. It wasn't really all that bad, the key is making good use of Havoc and adjusting yourself to consuming stacks with Chaos Bolt, because the three second cast time really hurts when you have to run from bananas and amber globs. I always prioritize the banshees (obviously) and then the bananas, because I can run around and direct the amber glob into another mob, but the bananas are crucial to get down quickly due to long stand-still of CB.

I always prioritize the banshees (obviously) and then the bananas, because I can run around and direct the amber glob into another mob, but the bananas are crucial to get down quickly due to long stand-still of CB. I also did it as Destro, with Wush + Chaye (normal versions). I want to add to the above that: I always used shadowfury on the monkeys as they spawn, followed by a CB and a Shadowburn or Confalg to finish them off. The key is to fear the Mystic healer right after your CB left. Also, always cast RoF right before the wave spawn. Havoc did not seem to work thru the shields on wave 5. Banshees: 1 CB does the trick. Position yourself wisely to trap mobs with the amber. Dont use your CDs while shield is up on Sha. Save the speed buff for sha mobs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annoroth 5 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Just tried this again after dropping my Demo OS for Destro. It's a completely different scenario as Destro vs. Aff. Hard to believe that they're actually the same mobs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
