Awakening The Machine as Rogue

Anyone able to get it done? I have a lowly ilvl of 571 but I know it shouldn’t be THIS difficult. I get to about wave 17/18 and the overwhelming amount of enemies just melt me.

EDIT: Okay found the trick, had to CC the mech guys while I worked the rest.

cc mech guy heard. thanks

Got it done on my first try. Iron Wire helped a ton at the start of each wave.

Very easy. It was my priest I struggled with.

Yeah timing your cc’s and reapplying stealth every phase, then using your mobility. Don’t forgot our kidney shot. It’s really strong.

I think everyone here is over complicating it. Just kill everything when they spawn and you’re chillin

Also, you can complete it with multiple attempts. My first attempt I made it to wave 19. I went back in and did a wave 1, giving 20 waves total.

It really is just learning what things do. Dont worry about the scrapbots they do zero damage, or the medbots if nothings around them, cheapshot the dwarf casters and they blow themselves up, kill priority for me is the casters, the big bots, the big pillar, the nullbots, then chill

I’m at 585 and was able to power through everything as Outlaw, fairly easy. You get a lot of nice stuff, purple stuff and a nice mech type mount. This is with 606 off-hand dagger.

I only really struggled on the later waves with the bigger robots.

But managed to do it first try so far.

And yeah, the caster enemies have to be either interrupted or stunned to instantly kill them, plus focus down the shield robots (the ones that spin)

The first week, I did 10 waves, left, and then did another 10 waves. (So, waves 1-10 twice).

This week, I managed to power through waves 1-20. I did not, however, get the mount.

I’m Assassination spec, with Deathstalker hero tree, and iLevel 574

Why is this even a struggle. You just kill everything. It should be a breeze even at 540 ish ilevel.

Here are some tips for people.

  1. save your offensive cds for the big mechs. Cleave as much as you can on the little bots
  2. the caster that channels beam dies instantly if you interrupt the cast. This includes kidney, blind too
  3. medbots drop a healing kit that heals the npc and you. Your crimson vial should be on cd. Use evasion if youre targetted by big mech and others. Use cloak when they put that fire debuff on you
  4. Do not use vanish ever in the encounter because you risk making the mobs perma evade forcing you to restart
