What is the easiest set dungeon to master?

General Discussion

IK dungeon can be done with WW even without the BK swords if you use Fury of the Ancients shoulders.

I always do the mastery with Firebirds. It’s literally one of the easiest both mechanic and map layout-wise.

And the best part is that you can farm the pieces with ANY class, since you can gamble wizard sources from kadala and keep re-rolling pieces in cube.

It’d be fun if they introduced a few generic set dungeons (and yes I know they will not) not only to have something different but also new - a Blackthorne set and/or a LoN/LoD non-set with specific criteria like “kill 20 enemies with a molten explosion 5 times” or “whatever works for Legacy of Dreams as they’re so vastly different…” type stuff.

Heck, they could even add in some of the crafted sets - Crimson or Aughild could be done. However, I’d prefer Asheara with something like “have all followers called for 25 seconds without interruption” and “let your followers kill all elites.”

I wish they would take this out of seasons too. I absolutely hate it. IMO they need to revamp it so that it isn’t so hard because of how OP you are compared to when these were first made. Like trying to do it on an OP set, just impossible because you can’t nerf yourself enough.

I do the wizard archeon one (Vyr’s set) because it isn’t so stupid OP to be hard, though this season the server lag has had me slingshotting a lot so it isn’t as easy as it used to be. Used to be able to do it in like 2 mins before server lag was a thing.

Without any question, the Marauder set. It can be completed 1st try if you don’t get sloppy and die to a worm. Easy map, easy mobs, no modifications needed.

48

Finally, a use for Blackthorme"s. Well, besides screwing up drop rates for decent gear anyways.

Krelm’s belt and ferret Companions for speed. Gogok doesn’t hurt. And Chakram to clean up at the end.

My go to Set Dungeon for season achievement is UE or Natalya… max try will be 2x (when I get excited and forget the objective).

then i’m done with it.

No it isn’t. You do not need a rucksack to master the marauder set dungeon. You are only required to have 3 sentries out.

Since noone mentioned it:

Here you find everything you need:

The easiest way is using a necro with any set, if the set portals of your actual class are too hard.

53

That’s why I didn’t write that it’s impossible without a bombardier’s…
My comment was a general assessment of the character in question.

He’s not though, you have repeatedly moved the goalpost of the argument to trip him up and failed. I’m quite sure we all agree that in this thread, you’re wrong.

Kargon, I respect your opinion. But which part of my original posts did you feel that I was wrong?

Just offering how I play the set dungeoan

And here I clearly state “that’s my own strategy”. I didn’t realize that you have to play a certain way or you would be wrong.

Just so we clear this up. Here’s Maxroll setup for IK dungeon. Read the part that says “Pick up Cooldown Reduction everywhere you can.” I guess they are wrong also. I think not. They just suggesting a different style. Just like I did.

I’m not saying CDR is wrong, but “you need” is.

Yes, they are.

Yes.

I’ve done this set dungeon without any CDR on gear, and without using the cooldown reducing items Maxroll suggests, i.e. without In-Geom, Messerschmidt’s, and Gogok. It’s entirely possible with 6 pieces of IK, the BK mighty weapons and an ORotZ.

They also suggest spamming War Cry and Threatening Shout, both of which will eat procs of ORotZ and the reason they need to do so is to generate Fury, because they’re not using the BK mighty weapon set, which would ensure permanent full Fury.

They suggest the Hurricane rune on WW (to gather mobs up, which isn’t needed) instead of Wind Shear which would generate Fury from hitting mobs, negating the requirement for the shouts. They also don’t suggest using the Fury of the Ancients shoulders, which make the COTA attack 100% faster and gives it the rune that makes the Ancients generate Fury.

Read again. No one said it couldn’t be done the way you “suggested”, you however said it was a “need” to do as you said. You really don’t see how those two are fundamentally different statements?

I had no issues with Sunwoko running Kyoshiro’s Soul to keep the stacks up. Don’t use Vengeful Wind. IDK if it’s “easiest” but I’m a pretty average player and mastered it once I memorized the layout.

I find that the DH Marauder’s set is the easiest out of the 4 sets. I play in games with some of lady’s that play this game. They could never do a set dungeon. I told them to try the marauder set. 3 out of 4 now have done their season journey for the 1st time.

Let me just post this, it’s Icy Vein’s guide to the Immortal King set dungeon.
The guide was last updated on March 1st, 2018, i.e. it’s almost three years old…

Because of its age, it’s based on IK/HOTA rather than IK/WW/Rend.
Here are the recommendations for how to gear for it…

Nowhere is CDR even suggested. Not a single slot. The Cube slots are for The Gavel of Judgement, Magefist and Band of Might, i.e. no Messerschmidt’s Reaver (indeed, it might have been prior to that weapon’s reworking), no In-Geom, no Gogok.

So, three years ago it was possible to do this set dungeon with zero CDR, and without the items the Maxroll guide is suggesting. So why can’t you do that now?

I accept that you can do it with CDR. I’m saying there’s absolutely no reason to do it your way, because it’s 100% do’able with zero CDR. My opinion is that your way is inferior.
