Shared Empowerment: Consider raising the base might duration from 5 seconds to 7 seconds, even with the facet of nature up, it feels a bit too weak.
Increasing the duration wouldn’t be enough. The trait just doesn’t synergize well with facets. They pulse every 3 seconds on a shared timer for all facets resulting in 2-3 might stacks with 65% boon duration. Even worse with impossible odds. It pulses every second but the internal cooldown is 1 second too so only every second pulse triggers the trait resulting in 2 mightstacks.
Trait needs to be reworked to work with facets. Was able to stack 10 might for the group with camping Glint with facet of nature and facet of strength which just isn’t enough to replace an ele or ps warr as a might stacker.
2. Shared empowerment isnt shared because of cooldown. Heres what I mean, you use a skill that gives 5 allies a boon instead of gaining 5 might they get 1 might, therefore it matters not if you give boons or just apply them to yourself. So with a sigil of strength I can easily give myself 18 might and allies 9 might where as if I’m using 3 of Glints skills the most might I’ll reach is 3 because of the interval of the boon giving Glint gives.
- Keep the cooldown but make the amount of might based on how many allies were affected by a skill. So if my skill gives protection to 3 allies nearby allies get 3 might if its just me I get 1 might.
The internal cooldown conflicts with imossible odds too. Only every second pulse grants one stack of might.
Maybe a change to something like revenant boons grant might too without an internal cd instead of every boon results in aoe might. Just removing the icd wouldn’t work well with the current behaviour and could end in an infinite loop
Ventari tablet has some weird bug too. If you activate the bubble and switch to another legend or get locked out of your utility skills the animation of the bubble disappears but it still blocks projectiles for one minute total.
You can switch back to ventari, summon tablet again and the projectile block still remains until a timer ends.
100% projectile block is achieved just by switching to ventari every 40sec to summon another bugged bubble.
Explanation why not Swift Termination but Assassin’s Annihilation
Swift Termination is a 10% boost if count for a full fight because 50% of time this passive is not working .
SO With Swift Termination we have 283% multiplier to our Crits
With Assassin’s Annihilation 273 % to our Crits
Calc Numbers are not Correct !!!
Modifier stack multiplicatively not additively so you end at 300,3% instead of 283%.
A 10% modifier ends in 10% more overall damage due to this which should be the favored choice for pve unless you need a lot of self heal.
Overall Fury is not a common boon compared to Might, so Rune of Rage really shines on rev.
……
However the issue is not “can I reach 25 might?” but “is it better to have 3 more stacks of might or permanent Fury?”, because rune of str basically gives you very little more might, while rune of rage basically gives 60% more fury uptime, leaving room for cleansing channel, so condi cleanse on swap (that is very useful since shiro+glint has no condi cleanse, except cripple/slow/immobilize).
If in a pug you can’t full your might stack, imagine fury. Very few skills give fury, that is mostly a self-buff, except for herald.
Have they finally deleted Elementalists? Because a single ele can stack perma fury for the whole group wthout a sacrifice like rage runes. Also ranger with red moa and warhorn blast on pet swap even without a warhorn. Thief has 50% party fury uptime too.
Rune of rage doesn’t have power as main stat and you really shouldn’t have problems with perma fury in a group setting. Herald can even pulse fury for the group with 50% boon duration.
If it’s impossible to keep the scholar buff in the new content i would take strength or pack as offensive runes.

Thief would be the best since you need to do the basement part.
You need at least 2 stunbreaker. I go with shadowstep and infiltrator signet with reduced signet recharge usually.
You could use daggerstorm for the stability but you need to do it before she stuns you.
After that the whole fight is about dodging her aa and death blossom. Kite her when you don’t have a stun breaker ready or she can backstab you if you are unlucky.
Edit: Holding aggro @ archdiviner… pPPPPPPPpppplleaaaaasee teach me

Starts at 6:50. Doesn’t work 100% of the time but still helps a lot.
D/d and p/p are both single target weapon sets. A lot of fights in fractals are trash fights.
Use sword/pistol and shortbow for fights like in cliffside and use d/d only when single target damage is needed.
You can blind trash with the pistol to negate the damage completely and you can inflict weakness with the shortbow which helps a lot. P/p is a bad weapon set you should not use it in pve.
For the grawl fight you should use smoke screen and/or hide behind a wall or shield of avenger from your guard. Also daggerstorm helps a lot when you have trouble with the adds or nobody uses reflections during the shield phase.
Most attacks one or 2 hit you on higher levels but thats for like every profession except warrior the same on higher levels.
As a thief you really need to dodge things like the arrows from the imbued shaman or basically all archdiviner attacks.
You can also use the heal “Withdraw” for tougher fights. It is an extra dodgeroll on a 15sec cooldown.

If you don’t want to dodge at all you can use the new trait " Invigorating Precision".
Together with the other healings from signet and the food you should be able to facetank her.
Just use smoke screen on cooldown and remove burning while smoke screen is up and spam pistol whip.
I’m not sure if this works with soldier trinkets but you need zerker anyways :-)
It is obviously slower than an executioneer build but easier and safer. You should try it when you struggle a lot.
Both waypoints are fixed. First appears after you kill the legendary ooze and second after killing Shoggroth.
Thought the first one was intended in the first place
