I am 465… it’s really impossible a horrific vision with five mask.
Maximum 4 , i tried with other alt IMPOSSIBLE.
it’s not impossible, but it is difficult.
take it slow, don’t feel that you have to rush. having all points in the talent tree thing will help. Make sure you’re utilizing all the potion buffs, don’t bother with side things like chests, mailboxes, crystals, leave those for the easier 4 mask runs.
(note: I haven’t done a 5 mask of org yet. maybe org is harder to 5 mask than sw, I don’t know)

5 mask run is basically the hard mode after all. Not for the sane folks that’s for sure.

If the toon your posting on is the one you’re talking about,
definitely consider upgrading your cloak.
Your cloak is rank 9 currently, it will definitely make a different if you rank it up to 15. Your cloak also doesn’t have the proc too.
Since your cloak is at rank 9, I’m assuming you haven’t unlocked much of the Mother talent tree. It’ll make a huge difference.

A high level cloak and full research tree let me not need my self res or my last orb in a 5 mask clear.
Get the weak aura for potions and use them.

Yeah the cloak is a huge part of it. Next is knowing how the color potions and buffs work. This is assuming a full talent tree as well.
I just do 2 masks everytime I gave up trying to do more.
Got close 2 times but it’s too frustratin’
I have completed 5 mask runs about 5-6 times now. The last one I did didnt use a single orb or my Cheat death. Its crazy easy at cloak lvl 15. Trick is run purification protocol in your main and use it on CD, also makes rexar a joke with your burst cd’s along with big AoE and stuns for boars. I try and time it so I proc Your titan buff just before you go into rexxar for more dmg and so you dont lose sanity from his abilities.

Not for those of us with ramp up. I can do it, but i need all but 1 of my orbs.
Rexxar gives alot of people trouble. My advice is to get the weak aura packet for Horrific Visions. Titan empowerment has an internal cooldown and this weak aura tracks it and shows if it’s available. I will literally sit outside Rexxars room during a 5 mask and wait for it to be available, then kill boars till it procs, then ignore everything and zerg him. Makes it so much easier.

Ramp off the easy pact just before the boss
I attempted my first 3 mask and failed with Thrall <25%. My biggest issue is I’m likely going too fast and not paying attention to key mechanics as a result.
It doesn’t work that way, i can go on a boss with 5 soulshards, but that doesn’t mean i’ll do alot of damage quickly. I still have to put 10 dots/debuffs on him, then pop my cooldown, THEN hit deathbolt before i’m finally doing damage, that’s about 15 seconds.
I can kill him. I did a 5 mask today.
He is still a jerk.

As a Lock do you tend to just pull each pack solo throughout the vision? I find most of my issues with higher masks is simply trash damage. If I pull multiple packs the mobs just rinse me with autoattack damage (because VW is practically useless, one Cataclysm pulls all but his main target from him)

Meme answer: play a BM hunter and breeze through them.
Serious answer:
Learn what route is best for your class.
Time the titans haste buff to your advantage.
Bring K’babs
Kill elites in a way it maximizes your sanity gain from the “gain 200 sanity”
Dodge the mobs abilities to your best extent to avoid losing sanity.
Get your cloak higher if you’re having issues with sanity drain.
I sometimes chain pull (2 packs) on my lock and just kill everything with felstorm and blightscourge bombers or 3 packs with meme beam but yeah pet dies and i gotta resummon ._.
If I did it you can do it as well. You only need to play mechanics there is nothing fancy or special you have to do.
i did my first +5 today. certainly took it slow and killed all the adds on thrall.
none of that burn boss thing…
edit: i didnt think i’d get it but I did. felt pretty good tbh.
Take a breather. Remain in a calm state.
Use the K’Bab and Goulash foods, 3 min CD sanity restoration food and 2% hp regen per second.
Abuse the potions, find out which potion is bad so you can hunt down the sanity restoration potion. I personally do not use any of the other potions, only sanity.
Find a route, and learn it. Potion placements and hero usage.
