DnT showing us all how to play the game, enjoy

This very clever use of game mechanics and inspirational, that bonfire+callofthewild, shared anguish to skip a knockback, reflection on axe 5 for the “why you hitting yoursfelf?” And RAO puts the stability icing on the cake… what’s with all the embers though?

Highly underutilized as they do tons of damage + fire fields EVERYWHERE.

From what I understand, The embers create more targets for lupi, more targets means more projectiles means more reflection.

Obviously now, i wonder if it can be done without the embers…?

Why? DnT always uses embers in speed run record attempts as far as I know. They’re not really there for dps. Rather, it’s using the projectile mechanic against lupi. Nothing wrong with that.

I take them for the fire combo field.

Finally some people who actually know how to play the class.

Sorry people want to play a class a way they want, you know how the game was marketed.

Ill go shoot some bandits now….

Feel like…. they could’ve done it faster/been more efficient (ie use the jungle stalker for 5 might stacks/more DPS than a fury moa when you already had fury)… And used RaO a bit earlier….

I get why they used RaO so late, the stability to counter lupi’s 3rd phase but yeah they could’ve activated it earlier. Some of the rangers already had jungle stalkers out though.

Embers made it easier to deal with the locusts in P1 with the extra DPS (since we wanted to save our dodge skills for Lupi and wanted to avoid using endurance at all) and gave Lupi more targets in P2. And pretty much if we didn’t use embers in whatever speed attempt we’re going for, another group could use embers and do it faster, thus taking the record. It’s one of those things that some of us would rather not do, but still do for the sake of being competitive

The Lupi kill that you see is after many attempts of getting him to about 20% with the reflects after a bit of P2, so we were not expecting such a fast P3. An extra Moa or two in our party would have been necessary to cover that last bit of fury if the kill took > 70 seconds. Same goes for RaO – if P3 were longer and Lupi bubbled, we wanted to make sure we had that stability. I was a noob and wasted QZ during an invuln period though >.<

Could we do it faster now that we’ve done it once and know what kind of results to expect? Sure. Will we? Probably not, doing it first is good enough

Ya, I kind of figured that. Anyway, well done. Nice to see some ranger OP out there.
