How can they? What should I do?

[steampunk]

I finally lost my patience and CT my last 2 gear.

Voila, I managed to beat TL 152.

Now I can rest a little knowing I'm quite safe at Top 50.

Thank you guys for sharing info and idea.

@CalinChc yes, I thought you mean that. Lol.

See, that's what I mean. People with lower Vit can survive higher Trial when I, with more Vit, can do easily die just because 1 skeleton raise their arm or shoot arrow to my knee.

[steampunk]

Yes, I have to agree with this reason.

I just tried using less vortex especially when my ToS is working and the result is I do more DPS from 20,77B to 22,02B even if I didn't manage to finished the Trial on time. But I see improvement on my part.

I'll keep trying and hopefully can beat TL 152 for this season.

Cant spawn 158 Elban in time to kill him. Still have few tries till tomorrow

I am watching your videos and getting some techniques and I am grateful to you for sharing it. But TL145 is my wall, getting a hard time just in the mob phase because I can't pull large mobs as you do. What trial are you now?

[Benedicto]

Pulling large mobs without being killed by a single shot is a skill and an insane talent, maybe we just don't have that thing. At TL145 I am always a one hit KO with an HP of 170k and 83% armor.

Do you mean collect half of all mobs in one big globe? With vortex? That would be a sight to see...

I used to do something like that as a jugger warrior with whirlwind and huge toughness, but for sure didn't manage to gather 1/3 of the mobs. As a BH, even if I collect a lot of them with magnetic trap and vortex, they die too slowly, DPS is too low.

Another shocking thing, I reached Garm in TL154 with 90 seconds left and died three times while shooting at him FROM INSIDE THE BLUE CIRCLE. So I just abandoned. Even if I could spawn him sooner, my 2.2M-2.3M toughness is not enough to keep me alive in the blue circle. Meanwhile, this guy finished TL159(Garm) with 1.8M toughness, lower haste than mine and did double DPS.

The only reasonable explanation is that number of mobs pierced is FPS dependent, I can gather huge group, vortex them and spam few snipes even with ToS proc but only some are being hit, it seems that the more grouped mobs are the less mobs is being hit, and once they spread snipe hits only those that are in the way. You could probably kill big group with 2-3 vortex one after another, but only if all mobs are hit in the group.

[steampunk]

I tried gathering the mobs but I eventually die after gathering around 5 mobs.

Those crazy arrow and fireball from everywhere is insane. Sometimes it only need 1 arrow to kill my toons.

[Benedicto]

Could it be possible to collect 1/3 or even 1/2 of the mobs during the mob phase to that high trials just to have that dps and to spawn the bosses in the right amount of time to kill it?

[Calin Chc]

Exactly, so where does the difference come from?

[100licad]

Power increases dmg in lineral way, so to double dps you need to double power. I dont believe that stat distribution is so odd that top spots have twice as much power as I do, it’s impossible. And they are not doing double dps, but more than three times higher. So no, it’s not stats, boss HP scales 10% up each trial so 168 Elban has almost 2,6 more HP than 158 one. Having this in mind you need extremly high mob phase dps, so if trial dps is 150b mob phase must be at least 250b if not more. So again difference is not from gear.

[steampunk]

Maybe this low fps vortex thing is the main problem. Because I expect so much damage from that vortex-snipe move.

[Benedicto]

Oh I didn't knew it also happens on PC. I only played on PC very few times so my experience in trials were not that deep. But still PC cursor is more accurate than big fingers.

Additionally, using vortex on lower fps devices/pc makes graphical errors on mobs, not quite sure if they were truly pulled towards the group and hit by snipe because the mobs were going back and forth to the vortex point and their original spots. Looking at those makes me dizzy.

[steampunk]

I did not. I guess I'm to lazy to count each attributes from LB.

Still hoping dev could give us access to view player's attributes from LB.
