GW2 - T4 Cliffside Guide & Walkthrough - Healbrand PoV w/ Live Commentary

[@Rheyo]

Your group MUST work together to break the Archdiviner's seals binding this giant colossus to the Cliffside! Hammer corruption, crazed cultists & chanter's, scaffolds climbing above the clouds? Your job will not be easy! Healbrand's kit comes in great use here, the boss fight here tends to be more on the condi-heavy side, but aegis proves invaluable in the final encounter! This should go without saying, but make sure your group stays stacked in this encounter, the Archdiviner will teleport to whomever is the furthest away, knock them down, and has a chance to follow up with a quick- high damage hammer attack.

Perfect timing. Just started making a healbrand yesterday for raids

[@VarjoPira]

Likewise finished healbrand gear a month ago or so, these coming in at a good time.

[@barbitaa]

Awesome as always! I can't wait for your aquatic guide lol

[@morpheus305]

Looking forward to your Mai Trin guide

Another great walkthrough! Your playthrough seems so smooth. I'm still working on the Monk runes so using Dwayna right now with a couple pieces of Harrier gear and the rest Cleric exotics. You guys seemed to of made the lava pools part soooo smooth and what seemed effortless. I find that is probably the bottleneck part where any of my groups - T1-T3 have issues, T3 of course being the hardest. Would you mind expanding a little more your strategy for your approach/strategy in how to almost ignore being killed by those?

[@Rheyo]

Nice man, monk tunes will make a huge difference. As for the strategy, it’s fairly simple, the fire has 3 possible locations: North, Middle, South. Out of the 3 locations, only 2 fires will be active at a time and there will always be a safe zone, you just need to move with the safe zone as it changes locations. The order that it moves is predictable, it will go up and down over and over and over and never skip a location, like north, center, south, center, north, center, south, center, north, and so on and so on.

Thanks for video! My question is couldnt you get bane signet for final boss instead of SYG? Since its a single target and requires CC you could provide good power to your team + help the cc phase?

[@Rheyo]

I was running valor and not radiance, so bane signet wouldn’t have shared anyways. If I were running Radiance then I would bring bane

[@elliotgillings7834]

I find these guides super helpful but the thing I'm most interested in is how do you get your boon table to end up looking that?

[@Rheyo]

I use an arc dps add-on call boon table. If you Google “boon table Martian labs” it should be your first pop up or so

[@xkanemi]

What is the difference about the valor and radiance? I have been using the normal HB build (radiance) and the virtues variant. (mostly when pugging) why valor? shouldn't radiance be better?

[@Rheyo]

Radiance provides signet share for a dps boost to your group, valor has more carry mode potential. Valor reduces the cooldown of your meditations, while also giving them fury, which allows you to take off Feel My Wrath at no loss. The meditations I use are merciful intervention and the passively traited “lesser smiter’s boon” on heal every 16s. Since you’re able to drop feel my wrath, you can then take Mantra of Liberation for more stability and party wide stunbreaks. Radiance is better dps support yea, but if you’re in a group that doesn’t CC & burst properly/can’t handle multiple mechanics too well, then the whole point of radiance (the signet share and CC) is virtually going to waste. Valor gives you more control over the outcome of the party, and it really shines in CC heavy encounters like Swampland.

[@xkanemi]

@@RheyoWhich is mostly the whole population of fractal, they don't move from AOE's and mostly don't care about CC's.. And when you run fractal u don't even run signets anymore cause of Mistlock Instability, and if u have to actually cc isn't sanctuary/Axe 3/Hammer of Wisdom better? So i see no point in running 'radiance' variation anymore.

[@Rheyo]

Radiance is good in most fractals, if your group needs a carry then I suggest valor or virtues, both have the same output, it’s just a different way of achieving it, I just prefer valor because it’s more active. I always use Virtues on 100cm though for Sanctuary CC, it’s just too good to pass up.

[@xkanemi]

@@Rheyo I was under the impression that 'radiance' was only usable if used with bane signet cause of power boost and CC. But for someone who always is PUGGING for fractal daily, I end up running 'virtues' instead cuz I have always first timers T4's running with the group, and those who doesn't move from AOE's n etc.. But now I have added 'valor' to the normal build and virtues for CM/strikes and whatever. I have even realize that valor may be even better for WvW in a sense. Thank you for the tips. I'm learning a lot from you! Keep with those awesome videos ;)

[@Rheyo]

@@xkanemi yeah man that’s what I’ve noticed as well. Most people speak in terms of things that solely boost dps, which in that sense radiance is better. I’m of the opinion though that if your group needs heals then just spec out for heals, which is typically what the average PUG calls for. I’m glad the videos could be of use, keep up with HB!

[@bench_the_kench]

First after Rheyo!
