For DPS classes killing the egg isn’t a problem. Not getting hit by mechanics is pretty easy too.
After that it is simply the math of the encounter. You either have the ilvl to soak the unavoidable damage or you do it enough times to line up all the rngesus you need. For some people that will be lots of times, luck will strike and for some people and they will get it in a few tries. That is simply the nature of rng.
Of course you have those freaky type people that could run it naked at lvl 75 and beat it but we aren’t really talking about that.
/shrug RNGesus. I already listed out what I did just today. You can’t avoid the melee hits. If you catch a crit and don’t have some sort of defensive cooldown up then you are gonna eat it. That isn’t a “skill” issue its just math. If you tell me you can eat those crits and not die from it, well, I would simply have a hard time believing you.
Dwarven Medicine from my Brann heals about 1.1M per tick. Beween Zek’s melee hits I was usually getting 1 tick of healing in there. So yeah, if he doesn’t crit that’s enough to survive. If you happen to line it up perfectly and get two ticks maybe you’ll survive a crit? I don’t know, up to rng I guess.
So you can tell when to step on them to stagger the incoming ticks perfectly to line up inbetween Zek’s melee hits? Damn, I mean that is impressive. It would be pretty tough for even a computer to be that accurate given latency and everything involved.
I only had an issue with cleansing on two of my attempts where Brann wasn’t getting his cleanse off so I would Disengage and then he would immediately cleanse me as I was flying through the air. Then neither of us was able to cleanse the next one. Not sure what was up there, but it only happened twice so I chalked it up to lag or just Brann being dumb.
Take 1.9 million hit
Step on potion. Full health.
3.8 million crit
1.1 million HoT. Now at 2.8 million health
Either get another HoT tick in there or another melee for 1.9 million
Well I never died from the spittle I just assumed it contributed. The only death blow I took in the 12 or so runs I did was 1 from claw smash because I was getting cute trying to stay close to my pots and didn’t strafe far enough. All the other deaths were from the melee crits.
Look I’m not saying its impossible, it obviously isn’t. I’m just saying once you get over the mechanics it comes down to ilvl and rng. Not sure how that is a “controversial” statement. That is literally how the entire game is designed.
