Bring projectile reflects and other ranged shutdown. Just do it.

It is painful to see people going down over and over and not stopping to think “hey maybe I can change my skills just a tiny bit to make this like 100 times easier!”, and then getting kitten when you tell them to change.

It’s hilarious when those bandit scatter-shots (or whatever the kitten they’re called) charge up their cone attack or do their rapid-fire, and I put down a Wall of Reflection right when they do it and it all bounces back in their face and takes down a huge chunk of health! they can practically kill themselves with enough reflection.

Fear not me, but the Tempest that I am!

Engineer’s Toss Elixir U does wonders here as well … when it actually works! Otherwise, sometimes, we get get Veil, which does nothing against projectiles.

Fortunately, that’ll be fixed in the upcoming content patch on the 26th so that we don’t get Veil anymore.

Bring a power focused staff guardian. This is the only instance in the game where I’ll recommend staff over every other weapon for the majority of the encounters.

Why would you need to hit anything behind a wall when you can walk in, drop an anti-projectile and destroy?

Why would you need to drop an anti-projectile skill, when you could just melee or pseudo-melee through the wall? Mobile mobs you just corner pull and beat senseless as normal.

Because its faster.

Through the wall is still melee, so no it isn’t. Staff guardian just has a little extra reach than standard melee.

Except melee’ing inside the room does kill it faster than trying to wack it through the wall (which I’m pretty sure is non intended, not that I care). Reflected projectiles also count as dps on top of not having to switch to staff to attack the mobs you can’t hit in the back of the room.

You do know staff guardian has the lowest dps and by simply LoSing mobs and using a normal melee weapon you’ll do over twice the amount of damage…

Plus the only part I could see that working is in the first basement section of CM path 1.

I love how by saying to bring a staff, I’m saying that you’ll only be using the staff, and only using that staff to attack everything through a wall of some sort. Or if we could read:

Mobile mobs you just corner pull and beat senseless as normal.
