We switch once a tank has a stack of the starlight debuff. The sequence from the boss is stun attempt > tank buster (which applies the stack) > teleport > cone blast You should be aiming to switch to after the teleport, once the cone blast direction has been set. This will help minimise any accidents blasting damage into the dps

This build looks pretty meh. Using perfect weapons in an endgame build is bad, especially on warlock since you get 10% stats for free, you shouldn't need it. I reach 4 90s 1 87% with solarium and 4 damage comps with minimal group buffs (mystic, pack tactics, 1x 5% ca companion), and damage boots. If I have a porto or just use 3 damage comps I can get 5 90s. Two ap gear pieces is not worth it on warlock because you already get your daily back in ~35 seconds on pc with one (probably faster on console because you can cancel faster it seems). Also with dc/acc you are supposed to use hand of blight mainly and hellish rebuke dot for sparks, but its not worth the trouble unless the boss doesn't move at all like in tomm. EDIT: I see you have 4 dmg comps as well. Vicious dire wolf is like 1% damage and not worth it, imo obv. Can get a little more damage with non-raptor

@@days387 you appear to have missed the bit where I stated that it's a general build and not fully optimised for anything in particular. I then go on to explain that various items can be switched out for extra damage with some minor reworking and even explicitly state that the Solarium would get better damage. Of course you can get more damage with non-raptor, going to be pretty hard to find 4 other random endgamers who currently have non-raptor builds though. Thanks for the input though!

@xaviercraze2777 yeah it's pretty chaotic to begin with. It might seem like invisible rays but it's actually the mirrors lighting up on the walls and reflecting the previous blast across the arena. In the advanced version you can see the mirror reflection blast telegraphed with a red line but in the Master it just shows the mirrors lighting up. If you pay attention to the red lines before the mirrors reflected blast you can spot which area is going to be safe. A general rule is that the direct center of a pillar will be safe most of the time, that's how we trained new people to survive. There is an additional white noise blast that happens when a curse ends the damage of that ramps up with every curse stack. And there's a couple of curses that will cause damage, the red one does damage if you move and the green one does damage if you stop moving.

Dependence on multiple stacks is not a good idea for tanking, and deflection is very bad nowadays
@MerrilowАй бұрын
Deflection isn't bad per se it's just not efficient use of stats vs putting it into awareness, defense, crit avoid. And only as effective as the deflect severity. If you can maintain the other stats then getting deflect up and deflect severity above 50% is actually pretty good for overall damage reduction. This isn't depending on stacks, apart from the helm and void weapons which are static once ramped up. The reactionary stats from the arms are just a nice little boost occasionally with a high proc rate.
