I hated the horrific visions concept back when it came around the first time, I hated the timer draining and having to rush thru and failing. Even now as a 680 I lose so much sanity running around I’ve gotten one black blood. Not fun at all. Tbh even for the enchant I may not bother doing it, it’s worse then before now with a time with gated talent tree pass. A max level toon failing running around feels so bad. Delves I don’t mind, m plus I love, this is just recycled garbage that nobody asked for.

Are you using the construct?

Is that the thing that powers you back up? Yeah, I suck at this game style.

Visions are the best. Infinite tries, and you can see yourself progress.
Makes everything harder.

Try without soridormi. I ran one with my 649 ret pally and blew threw mobs and bosses, but over pulled being that my io is low and died. I solo cleared for my first mask on my resto shaman 677

Timer-esque content is fine for me.
But the gates don’t make a lot of sense considering the event’s duration. It also makes gearing in them blatantly worse than other options until later, which is kind of dumb?

The original was time gated as well. I think the only difference was that you had a limit of how many of the corrupted mementos you could loot each week. This seems to be unlimited so you can literally farm your entire tree out, and just grab the new hourglass upgrades every Tuesday. If that’s what you want to do.

I agree they have their failings, but at 680 ilvl as long as you have the sanity restore orb power you should be able to faceroll all five zones easily. Just focus purely on objectives and pull mobs along the way to burn down when you feel like.
To make it even easier, do the potion mechanic - find out which is the bad one next to the body near the entrance, and chug all the other colors as you find em. Each area has at least one sanity potion so you can accrue an extra 500 sanity on top of your restores.
Without masks, you should only have to pop an orb twice - at the end of each ‘hard’ subzone if you do an easier subzone first.

You can just ignore them. You’ve been doing your 8 keys all season without the head enchant, you can continue to do so without it.

I’m surprised how unfun this event is. I’d never done it before. My mage quarter broke after trying it once and I think I might be done.

If I can do all the bosses on this character, and unlock my first mask at 640 ilevel, you can 100% do this on your 680 character. Its just knowing what to do in the visions. That’s all.

Apparently using the NPC is the incorrect way to play due to the fact that she doesn’t do anywhere near enough dps to make up for the massive addition to HP that the mobs gain by having her there. From what I’m told, visions are far easier without the NPC.

Its true. If she’s with you, the mobs health is doubled, which is kind of crazy, whereas if you don’t have her the mobs die so fast that I was able to do everything with the first 3 talents.

I haven’t tested it yet. But if I had to hazard a guess, it’s probably because the visions are tuned to a fully upgraded NPC (does she upgrade? I actually have no idea. I just assume she does). So she’s probably totally useless and actually makes things harder by design until she’s upgraded later.

This is irrelevant to the topic, but imagine if delves had the option to get rid of Brann and cut the mobs health in half. Man that would be awesome.

For an endgame pillar… no. On top of already being nerfed coming into S2 you want it to be MORE easier? Lmao.

I only tried it a few times the first time, didn’t enjoy it, stopped and never went back. A lot of mounts included this time, so I’m going to give it another go…eventually. I’m not stressing it, but I do like the look of some of those mounts, so I’ll force myself to try it again…maybe. 
Yikes, just musing about something silly. Drink your coffee.

The hourglass once filled out will make it easier. Gotta use the orbs to regain sanity.
My 644 warrior tank already clearing three areas. You got this QP!
