Day 2 of posting how terrible Torghast is for Melee DPS

I will continue posting every single day until something is done.

The bosses on even level 1 of Torghast are so over tuned, I dont think they were even tested by melee classes.

As a WW Monk, How am I supposed to do 310k damage, Kite for 5 minutes straight, cant heal because it heals the boss and the boss 3-4 hits me to death, not only that, Five deaths and you have to start all over again.

I don’t know, Synod was the only boss I had the slightest of struggle and that was due to his stacking debuff and from what I have been hearing in Torghast general chat, Warriors, even though they don’t have a “reliable” self-heal, aren’t struggling much either. I am guessing you are getting unlucky with the anima powers?

You will win I know it.

Good luck on your Torghast journey, Gexx. I’ll check up on your progress in 3 months.

Yes…I get the worse powers every run…

Which i think is a little ridiculous, run six floors just to find out you didn’t get the right anima powers and have to start over again. (Which will take about 30-40min) just so I can pray to the RNG gods to give me better ones. (Which may not happen)

Yeah, but I don’t know, part of the fun is figuring out a way to deal with these situations, if you got phantasma to buy the potions to increase your life count and make use of your stuns and slows as much as you can, since I am pretty sure all bosses are susceptible to those.

I do all of that, hence kiting for 5 minutes +

Plenty of other players know what I’m talking about, this is beyond using items and moving around.

Chiming in to mention that having pretty much mandatory player power tied to your roguelite mini-game that gives me bupkiss for my time if I didn’t get lucky with powers and end up on a boss I can’t possibly defeat because my spec is trash and my anima powers were too.

It sucks, and it isn’t fun.

Its not a mini game if its MANDATORY for legendary progression.

Day 2 of reminding you that I cleared layer 3 solo as ret. I have 0 mobility. Torghast is easy.

Why aren’t you grouping? It’s more fun and easier imo. Myself (prot), mm hunter, feral druid, and disc priest had little problems last week and had a blast. Haven’t done this weeks yet.

I guess ill try to find one, when I use the group finder theres never been a single torghast pick up group.

I one shot synod twice as a tank. Ez.

We have different anima powers in Torghast, chances are you get actual useful powers, 99% of the time I get shadow door, mawrat explosion, or extra phasma.

I’d say 5% of my runs are actually completable given the RNG WW anima powers.

You’re a monk, go as tank and gg

You’re supposed to take it slow, and get every anima power you can get, and free every soul you can (they each give 1% agi/int/str). If you have a npc that asks you to help him, do it, they can give you 10 souls (10% agi).

I had no issue doing layer3 of all wings as both feral and balance (it would be a joke as guardian/resto but I wanted to try as dps).

Not sure what the powers for monk do, but if you rush through the tower you won’t be able to kill everything. I usually have about 20 powers when I get to the last boss and between 15 and 30% agi buff

I try to always full clear, or at least 90% clear the floors. (I dont always go for every hidden room) I usually have 12-15 anima powers before boss.

Why are you kiting for 5 minutes when the boss has an enrage timer?

Because I tend to die almost instantly if I stand and hit.

I have to continuously roll, cast vivify, disable on boss, roll, roll, vivify.

Then go for every hidden room. If your gear can’t carry you, then more anima power will. Again, I don’t know what powers monk get, but people have done it on every class. It’s meant to be a challenge but the challenge gets nerfed with powers we get

Edit: Some runs you get bad RNG and you will get terrible powers. That’s how it is, just restart. You lose nothing by failing a run.

This is poor management of your defensives, stuns, and interrupts.
