I know we have three charges of the orb that recharges sanity in horrific visions, but I still keep hitting zero sometimes before I can even clear one area. What am I doing wrong?
Interrupt mobs. Don’t touch bad stuff. Kill quickly.

A lot of the mobs have abilities that do sanity damage more than actual health damage, your health could remain at like 90% and you think you’re doing well not realizing you’re eating a lot of shots.

My sanity reached zero years ago, this question is far far too late…

Idk maybe run through, aggro a bunch and then misdirect to your pet to hasten things up. I’m using a brew monk. After coming up with a route I 4 shotted it after a few attempts.
It’s probably a bit tougher and easier as well with Hunter since you are at range, but can’t rush through the same as a tank would. Have to try and improvise from the safe and slow approach.
That’s the fun part, you don’t!
Seriously… keep running it and eventually you grind up to be able to live longer. It wasn’t fun content when it was active the first time. I don’t expect it to be fun now.

I do not understand is this a new revisit or must actually go out there to do it?
Your dps likely needs work.
You should NOT be taking this long to clear one area.
If you’re not getting through one section, then you’re not moving fast enough OR you’re standing in stuff. Your DPS might also be lagging a bit… but even if it’s not DPSing things one at a time is too slow. The enemies aren’t that strong.
Once you get some practice, you’ll be able to go through faster and extend time. It’s unforgiving when you make mistakes… but it’s definitely possible without horrendous difficulty. My pain with it is that when you DO fail it’s not obvious how to make it better.

Nah. Turns out I was trying to do the harder sections instead of the easier ones.

But you’re supposed to full clear, and even if you do one of the harder areas, with 3 orbs, you should be fine.
Op the answer is simple. Throw your pc out of the window.

Alot of the tools that help with that is part of whats being gated unfortunately. The main things are:
the skill tree gives up to 40% drain reduction, as of this week 10%. It also has a capstone that procs 20 seconds of no drain and a crazy chunk of haste on a ~90 second proc rate.
each zone you clear in stormwind or orgrimmar gives 10% drain reduction stacking so even if you can’t clear the whole thing at once just aim for zones you haven’t cleared until you have collectively cleared all 5 zones then do it all in one run to unlock masks.
The progression things give bonuses for various things, the ones for killing stuff are very useful in particular the elite killing one gives 50/100/150 sanity per elite kill the first side zones tend to have 2 elites and the final zones have 3 so this adds up a fair bit, but it takes some time to build up.
Last and kinda least there are potions scattered around the vision, the effects are randomized 3 of them give a buff 1 takes away 100 sanity and 1 gives 100 sanity. There is a dead npc next to a potion near the start of both visions and the potion next to the dead npc is the -100 sanity one. there are 5 patterns so knowing which potion is bad means you can infer which potion is 100 sanity. If you don’t have it memorized though you can just drink potions that aren’t the bad one until you get 100 sanity then keep drinking that potion.

This is like the fourth time today alone I’ve seen you present a deliberately contrarian take as absolute fact, lmao.
I guess every forum has its trolls…

Think i went mage district first. Topped up right at boss, then trade and dwarf using one orb right before dwarf boss, old town using last orb at shaw and then finished off. Took the portal for everything but dwarf to old town.
Was my 4th vision i think, had all the availible updates but was guardian so i literally never stopped pulling/moving, making sure i was doing either rp or big fights in the orb.
Are the Mage and Old Town areas still draining sanity more quickly than the other areas? That’s how the original visions worked, but this time I didn’t see any difference between the basic drain rate for Alleria and the rate at Dwarven or Trade. Haven’t had the chance to try the harder areas yet.
Mass pull and burn, use orbs while killing a boss or a big pack of ads, its very easy to full clear currently with no masks active.
