T4 capstone how is it

How is the T4 capstone?
I been watching videos people say its the literally toughest thing in Diablo 4 right now.
Elias can 1 shot many times?
Lvl 62 Barbarian, with 5k hp and 7k armor should I be ok?
What about 42% resists besides 29% lightning resist?
My damage is decent. I don’t go around 1 shotting dungeon bosses, takes me like a minute or min 30 to beat a T20 NM dungeon boss

I beat T20 nightmare dungeons like nothing, I can literally stand and eat a whole volcanic chain from volcanic affix, those pretty nasty not gonna lie.

Anyways I haven’t done this yet before, so I’ll probably eat that super nasty hit he does that can 1 shot. Any tips? Don’t want to die.

Are you a hardcore player…?

Eh ? I did it lvl 65 had absolutely no problems.
It is lvl 70 and Elias is absolutely not a threat, I lost up to 30-40% life at some moments because I don’t like to use my potions too early.
My barb was decently geared , I am true hc player since dozen of years so I learned to tune my gear etc, but really nothing special.
Elias does a lot of projectiles,
Hard to avoid as I am close combat so I ate them and avoided the big aoes Easy fight,
Never felt in real danger at lvl 65. I guess it’s a piece of cake if you do it at 70 with up to date gear.
At 65 my stats were about yours , around 5,5k life and 7k armor or so.

It was my first attempt, didn’t watch any videos or anything, blizzard games are extremely well made imho, telegraphed attacks are readable on first try, exactly like Lilith when I made her in campaign for first time without any spoilers

You sure it takes that long? The lower your dps, the longer the fight, the more chance of death. I know that is obvious, but some people prioritize defense and forget offense, and eventually, in long fights, you run out of potions.

Yeah maybe I do beat them faster but its not super quick.
So I did the Capstone 4 and not too shabby.

My advice for others if they haven’t done yet, don’t stand in those big circles and seems like those adds that shoot you from distance those guys hurt so maybe next time would be racking them and obliterate them before they all shoot away 60% hp.

Not sure what the pentagram does, looks scary though.

T4 capstone is not that bad and certainly not the worst thing in the game. Game suggests a level of 70 and I suggest at least 65+ (I did it at that twice) depending on how confident you are with your build as level difference has a big effect on how much damage you take.

Keep in mind that EVERYTHING in WT4 is at least 75+, so doing the capstone too early may be kind of pointless if you can’t then handle things a further 5 levels higher.

Either way, always use death evasion potion and have a scroll of escape ready when attempting any content you’re not confident about.

I did it at 64, you can do it when you are able to do nm20.

What he said. When I completed a 20NM I felt ready for the capstone and I crushed it. That being said, Elias still hits like a parade.

Did it last week @ 62 on a penshot + RR rogue and had little issue. Trickery heart makes the mobs easy peazy and elias gets melted w/ rapid fire. Pop an iron skin elixir for the +900 armor.
