I have done the twisted marionette boss battle 20-30 times. I have succeeded twice.
Problem with current strategy: On Boss 2/3, we usually have 4/5 plats complete the boss. And then we fail, over and over again. I always play overflow, and enter 15-20 mins before the fight.
There is alot of excuses about how some people don’t know the fight, and with time they will understand. Its been ~10 days and I am still failling.
I tried this strat once in an overflow**** (with less people), and we got to the fifth boss before losing.
I recommended this strategy again after but I was shot down by map chat.
STRATEGY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
—————————————————————————————————————-
Currently, we spread out people between the 5 lanes, and we will have 15-25 people per lane. Boss 4 or 5, we will have a bit more from lane 1 and 2 (those who make the trip), but in the end, we will have about 5 people per platform.. In some overflows, we will have 3-4 per platform.
Assuming that we will have 110-120 people per overflow/server, this is the plan that will relieve the stress put on each platform.
1. Stack lanes 1, 2 and 3 with ~35-40 people.
Put 3-4 people in lanes 4 and 5 to kill twisted reavers (with the machine guy). Basically we leave lanes 4 and 5 DRY (mainly DRY) 3-4 people maximum.
This ensures that each platform will have 7-8 people. The bosses will have easier because we have
- more dps
- more ACCESSIBLE people to res down people
- more chance of players with skill fighting the boss
2. When LANE 3 is fighting the boss, EVERYONE in LANE 1 (minus 3-4 people) migrates to lane 4 through the [False River Waypoint].
3. When LANE 4 is fighting the boss, EVERYONE in LANE 2 (minus 3-4 people) migrates to lane 5 through the [False River Waypoint].
4. The lanes countine to migrate until we win.
Questions/counters to this strategy:
Q: Champions will leak through and we will lose faster.
A: The biggest factor that influences the bar is the losses to the wardens. In this strategy, we make EVERY attempt count, and we maximize the chances of beating that warden. With 7-8 people, we have a much larger chance of beating the warden. The only problem are the small mobs. Leaving 2-3 people in the empty lanes to that care of that will minimize the growth of the bar. Champions only increase the bar by 1-2%. Also, we will only leak about 2 lanes out of the 5 since the other lanes are stacked.
Any questions or problems with this strategy please leave them below and I will try to answer them.
