Hello there,
I’m here to talk about something that is concerning right now. On Amarth the Harvester, second boss of Necrotic Wake, if you wipe for any reason the first time on it, when you come back and pull the boss, two sets of Relics come with the boss, leaving you with Amarth, 6 adds and later 2 bigger adds from the affix.
Some could say that is even benefficial to have two affixes for extra power, but I found yesterday on a +21 that, after wiping on this boss and the above ocurring, when Amarth cast Final Harvest and gains stack of Tortured Echoes, it is counting either the small relics or the big affix bodies as well, which makes the damage received from this first cast kinda unbearable. I got some logs on this run showing both wipes, and although I could not find the amount of stacks gained, we have the following:
First wipe: three casts of Final Harvest. First set of Relics we killed a little bit earlier because they are already there even before the boss is attackable. We killed them, then killed Uhr and killed all the adds from Land of the Dead, and then Final Harvest. The second Final Harvest a person died from Necrotic Breath, we killed all but two adds (one was CCed), and two other people got one-shot from Final Harvest because of the one add remaining. We ressed the three dead people and continued the fight, but then I died from an add being harvested on the third cast and then we wiped right after due to lacks of interrupts and people dying from random reasons (bad play by our part, we could say).
Second wipe: we ress everyone. We pull the boss, two sets of relics spawn, we got an Uhr and a Vy from them. A DPS dies from Vy laser beam, we killed all adds and Uhr right before Amarth finishes casting Final Harvest. The a little after I died from Tortured Echoes, and we wiped right after from a huge amount of damage.
Raw DPS Top Spikes from Tortured Echoes per log:
#1 Wipe:
1st: 16,535.5 DPS (no person dead yet)
2nd: 23,531.5 DPS (one person dead before cast, two people died from the Harvest, everyone ressed right after, then the spike comes)
3rd: 11,112.4 DPS (one person dead from Harvest, then wipe after)
#2 Wipe:
1st: 26,827.6 DPS (one person dead before Harvest, then wipe after)
On this second wipe, I died first by T. Echoes and looked at my recap: I was taking about 23K per tick, which is an insane amount of damage. I have a vod on my Twitch Channel as well, but I recorded in lower quality so I can’t really confirm exactly the amount of stacks, but it looked like 10 stacks, which in my reasoning, should be 1 stack per add/player body harvested, which totals to 6, unless it counts a different amount of stacks on player bodies. Later he casted it again with only 2 people alive and he got 11 stacks.
Watching the first wipe, he got 6 stacks when we had 1 person dead, 8 stacks with another 2 people dead on Final Harvest and then 10 stacks when he killed everyone on the last.
In any case, either this boss is bugged at some point or we are missing something. I can say for sure that the double relic spawn is a bug, but I am still confused with how the Tortured Echoes count stacks.
I cannot post any links here to the logs, but if needed, send me a PM.
