I know it was too easy before. I know it needed a tweak. I’m not saying put it back the way it was. But when a L80 in full exotics gets killed by two L67 imps there’s something wrong. I couldn’t even get them down to half health before being downed. I tried twice. With the zone empty and it being this hard to solo I’m going to have to give it a miss and do something/somewhere else.
In scalings defense, imps have always been a pain. They could easily chew through most characters before. You will have to play really smart to beat them/avoid their damage. Reflection abilities work here. I would try to fight a few other monsters before you give up.
I’m free Saturday. Sounds like a fun idea no matter what goes down.
I can’t find the PvE part of Cat’s guides. Every video that I’ve watched has been WvWvW based. :/
I get the jist of it, but I’ve been trying it lately and it doesn’t feel like I’m doing it right. Looking for any tips I can get, as I’ve tried a phantasm and condition damage spec already. This is the last spec I am going to try.
I’m running full berserkers (of what I can afford anyhoo) 20/20/0/0/30, taking IP/DE, both Mind Wrack traits and some phantasm traits since nothing else compliments my build. I use Greatsword/Staff, so I have GS talented.
I usually open up with a few Gs1’s, then when the enemy is within range, I use Gs2, immediately followed by iZerker after I have a few stacks of might. There’s 2 clones. From what I’ve been reading, people then dodge into the enemy (usually to avoid an attack or sometimes not) to create that third clone ontop of them, then hit F1. Sometimes this kills the target for me, but other times it doesn’t. Is timing a huge factor here? I find that when they don’t die from my initial combo, I have to do either GS2 or a lot of GS1’s to kill it. This makes me feel quite slow especially if I’m trying to get through somewhere mob intensive, such as Cursed Shore. It also means that I have more chances of taking damage.
Something else occurred to me that my movement patterns may make it harder for my iZerker to deal enough damage in its first attack so that a 4 shatter burst would kill a level 80 orrian. I might not be at that sweet spot for damage yet though either. Right now I’m at 44% crit, and 73% crit damage. My weapon is exotic, but my other items are masterwork while I make enough money to gear up.
Any advice would be appreciated. I really like the shatter build, but I feel that I may be doing something wrong or not optimal.
