I mean, it is…bc the powers stack and don’t cycle so you get them all. One of my TC runs I got a power 5x that has high chance to heal me and pet, 25% max health, but I never found any increase max healths except for one 15% at a vendor.
I’ve gotten to Floor 18 once and there were many powers I’d seen before and not had, even when you have 90 anima powers, you can still be missing some…
I mean, you’re telling me I didn’t pick the right powers, but I can’t pick them unless they’re offered… Those things are rng…I mean, by definition you get random choices.
Would love to watch a stream of the players complaining about layer 1, just to see what they’re doing wrong and if it lives up to their forum whinging.
to be fair, sometimes you just don’t get them. i always full clear every floor. my layer 1 run, i never saw the mawrat spice option or the good “+45% max health” option. i had maybe 38k health at the end. fortunately i had other good powers and still destroyed the final boss.
my layer 2 run was the opposite. i ended with like 360k health. the final boss couldn’t even dent my health bar before he died.
Most powers stack up to a limit. Once you reach the limit, it won’t even show up anymore. I ran 6 layers this weekend, and I feel like I ended up with nearly the same powers each time. Because with nearly 100 powers to get along the way, so many will reach their limit, forcing other powers to start popping up.
There almost seems to be very little RNG in TC. The only RNG really being how early/late you acquire certain powers.
Also, do you have the maw upgrades unlocked from Ve’nari for Torghast? They increase your chances of acquiring better powers and give you a cheap orb from each vendor.
i was disappointed that the “+5% SWD for each killing blow with SWD” power tops out at 255 stacks. not that being able to one-shot any non-elite by floor 7 wasn’t great enough…
Floor 18 layer 1 isn’t a joke; I had a fairly good anima setup but just not enough gas to power through the stacking damage debuff the boss was getting.
94 anima powers…
30% crit
75% mastery
50% haste
32% crit damage bonus
3x Elisandra Timewarp
3x Fingers of Frost
5x Additional Mirror Images
1x 15% health bonus
1x Revive on floor
1x Invis on Death
1x 200% more damage to frostbolt (forgot the name of the thing)
Triune Ward with 3 barrier bonuses
3 Blood Gorged Anima powers
I just got unlucky and never got Maw Rat spices but the Venthyr boss would cast his Sin Bolt AOE and deal around 150k+ damage to one-shot me.
Will give it another shot later this week but that’s quite a bit of a time commitment for nothing.
Thanks for being honest. I’m sure I could clear Layer 1 eventually if the rng stars align, but I wasted about 6-7 hours at the start of the week trying to finish Layer 1…and I just don’t care to try anymore. Big waste of time, no reward.
Yes
Armor material means nothing in WoW. Boss hit me (mail) with melee attack for 50k+.
I facerolled my way thru layer 1. Killed everything. Got garbo anima powers. Got the final boss down to 50%? Ran out of CD’s and interupts. Died 3 times. Game over.
Some of us just got screwed on the rng powers and bosses (some are objectively hard counters to certain classes and therefore orders of magnitude harder to beat than others).
Suffice it to say, until I see some decent nerfs for certain bosses, I won’t be going back.
I don’t get why people are saying “lol you didn’t pick enough defensive powers” like if they know what powers were offered to people. In my layer 8 TC run I had 90k health at the end and picked up every health increase power. In my layer 6 I had nearly 600k at the end and I skipped on a few health increase powers. RNG is RNG and sometimes the game doesn’t offer all of the health/defensive options.
like on my shaman i save hex for when stun totem is down so i dont DR the boss you cant just mindlessly spam CC and then when you run out be like ‘’ OH CRAP’’
there will be lapse when you have to actually do a mechanic without just ccing the boss too
its very doable as any class
if you have bad powers leave byfloor 6-8 or risk pushing on but you cant complain if you took the risk after getting bad powers
