Hardflip's Road to 1600 TMA

Cleared the updated boss yesterday! Got a pouch and a raccoon mask, not bad, but wow that took 600 ginger ales .... the amount of 1-1s was insane. Also idk if it was the 1-1 + mana drain, but I've never seen pet fail so much on a mage before. I had to manually pot more than I've ever had to and died like 2x lol



Tested DPM1 with gen when the Boss spawned and gen was hitting 3 targets, pretty sure add-ons hadn't spawned yet:

DPM1 with Angel Ray:


Overall a pretty fun boss as an active bishop in a 6 man party, I'm already seeing bishop get muled in 3 mans (good thing I have a pally on the come up!) now so active bishop will probably only play a role in 6 mans and higher (if that). The anego sed bullet is particularly scary and somewhat active bish is nice in this case to jump in and heal and give the occasional shield for some free-fire, I guess with a bucc + 3 bishop mules though you basically have enough res for the fight and can tele in with your bishop mule quick if you get sedded. The drop rate on items seems crazy high! Market for these items will tank, but awesome seeing "rare" items be opened up this way like stonetooth/ski/mask

 

Dratinipb today with a new damage PR primarily because the archmage DCd so I was dealing with more minis



Stompers and pouch for drops, not bad!!

Top DPMs:
PB Body DPM20 – 3.6m -> 3.9m
HT DPM45 – 7.4m
Auf DPM28-33 – 4.1m

 

Dratinipb today, fs 1 att and 2x pouch, damage is lower because Chopard didn't DC and we're splitting minis heh

1606 TMA, 3.3m DPM 20 on body, 1 shield, 2 smoke pt, mw30/echo/elixir


Keeping some zombify timers and able to hit them on cast with the new client which allows damage to be a bit higher

 

Had this week off of work so was able to do some HT during the day new PR

Run1 dpm45 mw20/elixir/echo 1577 tma

Finished on left arm

Run2 dpm45 mw20/ht buff/elixir/echo ~1597 TMA or so

Also finished on left arm

We got MW20 woohoo. The QoL of being able to 1H darks cannot be understated on a Bishop, I'm glad I've finally hit that goal

New Goal:
- 8m dpm45 in HT finishing with 1-2 arms left

Top DPMs:
PB Body DPM20 – 3.9m
HT DPM45 – 7.4m -> 7.7m
Auf DPM28-33 – 4.1m

 

0/3 Zombie ring, it wasn't meant to be. Game is rigged

 

I don’t have that dog in me

 

It's done 1/4, it was feeling pretty doom but finally passing feels great

 

Thanks man yeah I'm unbelievably stoked just happy it's over and I can move on to saving for something else haha

 

1533 with MW30 and like 1610 or something with echo

Next goals are to gear up my pally a bit so that I can participate in Core and then start CSing some YSS.

EDIT:
Quick math shows that with some minor gear upgrades and level 200 I'll be able to 1h petris/HT darks without Echo!!

1533 + 9*5*1.13 = 1583.85

 

High-rolled on chair AND card (4/5) during GurkAuf yesterday woohoo. Still need to clear D2, Core, Auf again to unlock safe scrolls and chair upgrades.

Still need so many NT Coins to upgrade chair anyway lol, but it'd be nice to track chair progression. Will probably slowly farm these up once my Paladin comes online

 

Rahul dragged me out of 6 man HT retirement today and hit a PR with my gear upgrades

Here was the based comp:


DPM38 ht buff/wiz elixir/echo/mw30 finished on 2 arms:



Soooo close to 9m!! SoonTM

Top DPMs:
PB Body DPM20 – 3.9m
HT DPM38-42 (2 arm finish) – 7.4m -> 8.97m
Auf DPM28-33 – 4.1m

EDIT:
Realized I blew away my 8m goal for HT, so the next goal is 10m

 

Some GurkAuf today so did some DPM30s which finished right as body died:

Run1:

Run2:



Some tech I started trying was teleport into body when sed is up to prevent super knockback into sed which would often result in a missed HSS. Probably shaves some minutes or something off the run in the long term

Top DPMs:
PB Body DPM20 – 3.9m
HT DPM38-42 (2 arm finish) – 8.97m
Auf DPM28-33 (range party) – 4.1m
Auf DPM30 (Grk5ManTrioPallyAuf) - 3.98m

 

Hardflip had triplets :eyes:
