Vod or it didn't happen :P JK IDK

Sure! So the 65 and 35 parts have 2 little phases: 1 - There is just the bosses active 2 - The adds spawns at each portal and walk towards the main boss who is in the air. If the adds get even remotely close the boss in the air, he absorbs them and then gets a bunch of the add stacks, which basically results in a wipe. However, if you close the rift, the existing adds on the playing field disappear, except for the very last rift before spawning the boss. So the idea for this strategy is to run a full power comp to kill the rift adds as fast as possible. CC right away to break the bar and burst it down. As you can see in this video, at 65% we start hitting the add around 01:25 in this video, and then the small rift adds don't spawn until 01:42. At this point the rift boss is at 12%, so we kill it and then IMMEDIATELY close the rift and then the little adds despawn. For the LAST rift of the phase (second rift for 65%, third rift for 35%), if you close the rift when there are any avatars of spite (little adds) still alive, then the boss will absorb them when he respawns, which is bad. This is why between 02:35 through 02:50 we kill the adds instead of closing the rift. Then once the adds are all dead and we are confident we can close the rift before the next set spawns, we then close the rift. You can see roughly at 02:50 when the boss respawns, that he only has 3 of the one buff and 1 of another. This is exactly equal to what he had at 70% before the 65% rift phase, which means that he gained ZERO stacks during that phase. See the same strategy for the 3rd rift from the 35% phase at 05:05 Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any more questions. This strategy is VERY safe and easy to repeat over and over if you have 3 power DPS, 1 power quick, and 1 heal alac scourge for fear and chill for the small rift adds.

@@butterpeanut1066 thank you very much... very helpfull. Last question what's the correct way to collect essences?

@@denispesce5843 There are many ways to do it, but this is what we did/do often: - Blue/Green = Heal scourge - Red = Power DPS (spellbreaker in our case) - Orange = Quick herald (or any power DPS is fine) - Purple/Yellow = Almost never happen, but if they do, any of the remaining two DPS can get it. Check out this wiki for the colors wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lonely_Tower_Fractal

Back when this was streamed, I took defender because it was the next highest DPS option after the mantra, which I dislike using. It was due to Phantasmal Blades, but now I'd just take sword of decimation after the buff.

@@butterpeanut1066 ok cool, you stream on youtube?

@@tijean8315 Sometimes! I really don't do it for the live stream, but just that KZbin keeps your old streams available forever, so I don't have to double stream to Twitch and then upload to KZbin. It's just a laziness thing lol.

Yeah spellbreaker was using rage, but in general its a decent build. Lots of CC, boon rip, etc. I believe he was running the Dagger/Mace+Hammer setup

This stream was before the change to elevated compassion.

We'll bring in anyone who wants to join, assuming there is some effort put in! We're on NA

This time it was yes, but you can kinda run whatever you want.

Got it just in time :P

go away dude

Just play content, save your gold, do dailies, do fractals, etc. I've never had a problem making gold in the long run, but I also did finally get lucky once after 10 years and got an 8k infusion drop about 6 months ago.

P1-P2 typically

🤣@@butterpeanut1066

yeah mace is too good TBH. The sword OH is also nice for the block and ranged pressure and torment which you don't have otherwise. I would stay with this setup as is for the current state...but the expansion launches tomorrow which could shake everything up anyway

akeem relic :) @@butterpeanut1066

I can try to remember to do that! I ran this, but swapped some harrier for giver's. gw2skills.net/editor/?POwEY6MssBWCThxwKxxXSvpVyHuD-zRJYqRNfZ0SJUdG47s0/mFA-e

It was an idea that I had that worked out well. One of the main reasons that people die in the last 33% is that they miss a CC (because they are at 7-10 stacks or so), and then they need to go to the side platform that kills the adds. Then when at the side platform, either they die from not looking away, or the people on the main platform side because they didn't look away from the person on the side platform. Therefore, to make the 30, 25, 20, 15, and 10 CCs much easier, we decided to skip as many CCs as we could early in the fight. Early on in the fight, its very easy to go to a side add and take care of it with much lower risk. We did the 70, and 35CC because they are very close to the 66% and 33% split phase, so we didn't want people to have the extra add during the split phase. I wouldn't recommend doing this strat for casual runs or for runs where you don't care if 1 or 2 people die at the end.

I've gone full celestial since the patch because you have so much excess boon duration when you run givers/minstrel/harrier/etc. The SC site has a mix of harriers and apothecary, which is probably fine also

metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Vindicator_-_Greatsword_Shiro but with sword/sword+GS

yeah that would be nice!

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.

You can use Discretize's website for gear variants based upon your agony resistance. I try to aim for ~40% boon duration, which is slightly higher than their website setup, but its very close. discretize.eu/builds/revenant/power-renegade/

I believe it is random!

gw2skills.net/editor/?PmwAk6ZlpQJMLiidRTMMqiJShsCagnqUVrE-zRIYY09XIJmApGCVXB+OLtvZBA-e Feel free to swap gear and sigils around! I use givers mainly cuz I also tank on this often and it's just a nice easy swap to save "all givers for tanking, all harriers for not tanking" and you have the same boon duration.

@@butterpeanut1066 Minstrel is a good option too all suport? i dont have slot and gold to make 2 sets hahaha

@@kaiquetadeu5579 yeah that's totally fine. Minstrel, harriers, etc. You are just looking for high concentration and healing power

@@butterpeanut1066 do you think heal herald aviable now? After this patch?

@@kaiquetadeu5579 yes it's still viable, and it will be better in two weeks

RIP

It's a very specific spot that you need to aim at, and also keep holding W while you are falling to keep moving forward.

The road is only 5 target, but the way it works is that there are multiple hitboxes inside of the road. So if you backup a bit and if people are a little spread out, you can hit more than 5 targets. But if everyone is stacked all in one very small spot, then I believe it will just be 5 target.

Oh man you are going way back! I wouldn't put too much focus into build craft right now because of how much warrior is changing on 10/4/2022 in regards to traits! Time to experiment after that!

Its in the description

@@butterpeanut1066 wow sorry, reading is hard..

@@JaapRijneveld No worries. They just fixed the GS F1 issue on SPB and others are working on the build/benchmark. Check SC's discord for details.

@@butterpeanut1066 really that is so awesome!!

You're welcome! I'll clean up the rotation a bit and post another one once the GS bug is fixed.

LMAO that was so clutch.

Hey! The highest benchmark is with air sigil, which you could use instead of impact. However, I believe the accuracy setup is better than impact if there is a low percentage uptime of the exposed buff. The reason I don't like air is that it can proc on adds, so if you are attacking and you happen to also hit an add that you don't want to hit, it might waste the air sigil proc on that add. The Air/Impact variant has the benefit of being able to swap that sigil around without losing crit chance (i.e. air, impact, night, a slaying sigil, etc). The accuracy variant has the benefit of not relying on any air procs, it also has less assassins gear so it might be easier to gear. So it's really up to you, as they are so close together damage wise.

Additionally, my setup also is slightly more boon duration than what is on SC's site. There's something about exactly 50% boon duration and exactly 100% crit that was very pleasing to my OCD...so I made those setups :)

@@butterpeanut1066 haha its pleasing to me as well, thanks a lot for the explanations, will surely keep the accuracy sigil cuz i aint gonna make assassins for now lol. thanks for replying!
