There’s something off with the masks increasing enemy health.
With no masks and four objectives completed (+40% Alleria health), Alleria has 21M health, thereabouts. With one mask (Long Night) and a mere 2 objectives (20% health) complete? She has 44M.
The tooltips are lying. A mask does NOT increase enemy health by a mere 25%, at least not for bosses.
People who are struggling, keep in mind that it will get significantly easier as you fill out the talent tree. It’s only hard for you now at your gear level because we have very little sanity and resistance to sanity drain, these will be helped by filling out the talents and the mask that creates an elite nemesis every 25 mobs you kill.
Even as a healer?
She is seen as a full group member.
A benefit is she can rez you with an orb. A negative is she effects mob scaling. For many people, how much she effects mob scaling isnt off set by what she brings to the table.
easiest on tank did 4 mask and I don’t actually tank.
Or heck, just kill some trash in the canals between Old Town and Trade District and loot that one sitting there.
Or do Old Town, canal mask, and Mage Quarter and get all 3 of those masks at once.
I haven’t done a full clear with a mask yet but as others have said, use the first mask to unlock the second mask and then ditch the first mask and only use the second. The first mask is the worst and is by far the hardest mask of all the masks. No idea why it’s the first one we unlock. I will probably do a full clear with the second mask just before reset if I can be bothered.
Which mask are you using?
What item level is your tank character?
Nobody has asked, so I guess most are presuming your item level is high enough to “outgear” the content and the only problem you’re facing is how well you’re controlling sanity losses.
I wonder how good soridormi’s healing is because if she can heal u to full in 2 seconds might be worth pulling entire rooms with her healing on a dps spec ( that’s not a demon hunter.)
Are people getting worse at playing the game or something? The current visions are a nerfed version of the visions from BFA lol.
Looking at how things were paced last time. We start at 60% drain reduction which was already well into the bfa progression which started at 30%. We’re on equivalent drain rate to like week 5-6.
Level up your tribute for elite extermination - gives you 150 sanity back every time you kill an elite.
Wait two more weeks until the full vision talent tree is available, then you’ll have a lot more sanity and 40% reduced sanity loss (plus the ability to die and resurrect once when solo)
OK, you got a lot of advice, here is a lil more because I didnt read a damn thing anyone else posted.
When you get into SW, go straight until you hit a wall, there you will see a note, a dead npc and a colored vial. Do NOT use that vial, that is the vial you avoid in that session. It changes each time you go in. All other colors are safe to use, but the color you see next to the corpse.
I hope this helps you
Did the mask tooltip lie in the original version too?
I just did some rough comparisons and while it does increase regular mob health by 25%, for bosses it’s more like 150%. Magister Umbric has, what, 11-12M base? Just did him with a single mask and he had 28M.
Scaling like that is going to be ridiculous at just 5 masks, let alone 8.
People are greatly misunderstanding / underestimating this. It’s not 40%.
You start at 0%, but you get an extra 10% each time you clear an area for the first time, so before you even look at the tree you can be at 50%.
The tree is 40% on top of that 50%, so it’s 60, 70, 80, and finally 90%.
That means the full tree is 500% less drain than no tree, and 1000% less than what you felt when you first went in on the very first quest.
You will literally have 500% more time than you do currently in a few weeks time.
It also doesn’t help this week that we’re getting almost constant 10% less damage done versus Alleria because Promised Power is absolutely useless against her. She’s impossible to position.
Bloodthirsty every week please.
Her healing is…not great. No worth the added tag-along extra health on mobs. She also likes to run off/stay behind to mess around with mobs u are running past.
(I haven’t done a full mask clear yet but I stopped using her altogether for now.)
Well the easiest mask is the one that enables both of them all the time.
dont worry its timegated anyway. best thing you can do it wait 3 weeks and then play the game.
