Mostly it’s elite extermination trait. That’s what allows you to do full runs with masks. Because of how the elites are spaced out, you can generally pull big enough that the sanity you lose from the time if being in combat with the trash can be restored by killing an elite right afterwards.
It’s also practice, I used to just do the bare minimum so there were a lot of nuances I didn’t get and had silly sanity drains, but with more runs on your back and having the tree upgraded visions just becomes trivial, even with 5 masks.
Just keep at it and you’ll manage. The only thing I find hard in visions atm is Alleria when soloing as brewmaster, that fight is always a bit aggravating for a melee. I’m also not a fan of the elite aqir outside rexxar with leaden foot and the ring, I find it a lot harder than rexxar itself.
I tried on my druid just now, She is on R9 to 10, requires 4 pages, but no way I can do this on 1 run without the perk-tree, which means I still have to run like endlessly to get the perks up so I could clear all on one run.
Impossible task… I did kill all with decent speed and I was able to do 3/4 so I decided I go do solid 2*final boss.
So catching up on ALTS is not working… not really. 1st you must farm the perk tree as sanity drain is too high for low level cloaks without the titanic proc/elite kill sanity retsore.
Not sure why i even tried - what i was thinking. It is still waste of my time on alts in this case.
Isn’t the quest text still bugged for this? So it says you need 4/6/8 pages but you can turn in the quest once you’ve got 2 only? My husband was able to hand in the quest with it showing 2/6 last night, even though the quest marker on Wrathion was still grey. When you talk to him, you are able to complete the quest. So I believe the functionality is there, but they haven’t fixed the quest text and quest marker appearance. In another thread, someone suggested deleting a cache folder to get it to show correctly (can’t remember which folder so please investigate before deleting random files and folders!).
Oh yes, a DH talking about knowing class. You completed SW objectives like last week. And you come lectures people on not being able to do full run without perks on the mothers tree. For a troll you are not entertaining enough. Maybe you try too hard.
So someone, who needed cloak 15 on a DH to complete SW, shouldn’t lecture others on undergeared casters on trying to complete a run.
Your try-hard trolling does not change the fact that 1 run catch up is not working on NEW characters/alts, and is in a way false advertising. You may think you are awesome and can bash people and feel superior, but you are far from it.
Your posts are vinzora level these days, so I just slowly let you go back to your whatever awesome, and take my social distancing from you.
I needed 4 just moment ago, so i guess the game still wants you to do full clears for some ranks, while later ranks would need only 2 bosses as they needed in past, or something like that. No display bug or anything. I factually needed 4.
And to get full clear, I need to get 2 more perks, which would be a lot of mementos. Oh well.
I can give them that 2 runs is still less than 3 or 4 runs we needed before, but from new character POV it is not quite feeling as ‘fluid’. Player reads the news, and player presumes, but it is not quite working as smooth, in my opinion.
The sites from the minor areas can also drop from the hardest areas, so for the 4/6/8 quest you either need to to do 2 runs or really clear the whole vision.
But aside from 3 upgrades everything is doable in one run, even without any except the first perk in the tree
I do not get killed, or drained by mobs. I do not die nor drop low. I have done visions plenty of time on my main duo, with masks also. But problem is that sanity drain per second, allows me to do 3 side oif the 3rd side is not rexxar.
I could play it risky with cheat death and go all 4, but that’s like pushing it. It is all nice, when people get gear, have taken time to level up the perk tree (due to more runs you needed before), but if you have done now a dash from 0 to hero, your base sanity drain is notable.
Yes, it s0 easy to forget, when your main wears 80% reduction instead 20 or 45. And yes it makes a difference. Also the perks DO make a difference.
But as I said 2 is still probably better than the gazillion needed before, but I feel it does not quite feel as it was advertised. Thats all.
My druid does not need the cloak, she can tank that hc raid just fine, and she is my fun alt and todays was just a test.
Ah ok, I guess the information about this really isn’t at all clear! Which doesn’t surprise me, given how unclear the information about requirements for visions was when they first came out!
My warlock is on rank 8 or so at the moment and has no hope of doing a full clear, but as you say, 2 runs is better than 4! I find the part from ranks 6-12 to be the biggest drag. After rank 12 you’ve got plenty of research traits and sanity loss reduction so you can do a lot more. Trying to do more with your sanity draining so quickly at lower ranks just doesn’t feel good!
Putting my cynical hat on; is it that important whether it’s 2 or 4 or 6 pages? Rank 15 is nothing special vs 14, and you can’t catch up the insanity resistance in any sane amount of time - even if you are killing N’zoth weekly on your alt.
At the end I think it all comes down to clarity of message. maybe it is my (lack of) English or whatnot expectations. Today i was curious and after I get more coffee I’ll probably still make her cape to 12 so I could try to do Hc tanking logs (she is moonkin otherwise).
And they totally have to fix the texts during their hotfixes or weekly reset.
I’m a native English speaker so if it’s not clear to native speakers, then I can’t imagine how bad it is for non-native speakers! Either that or I need significantly more cups of tea!
… or maybe I should go kitten … or maybe I should stealth more to save time… wait … I totally forgot kitties can stealth-skip stuff…
gasps And I think I should really go and try do 4 areas despite all. I mean affixes are easy for druid, and I should perhaps ignore last boss :>
And then I have survival hunter, a destro. warlock, and assa. rogue too. I think today i go out and buy some quality wine. Forgive me when my brain comes back on forums later - soft and melted like the ice stone.
Rexxar is actually really easy, even on multiple mask runs. The trick is to do something that will seem counter productive and that is to do slow dps on Rexxar himself and use your cooldowns on the boars. The slow dps will give you more then enough time to interrupt and kill the boars as they come in when Rexxar reaches a certain percentage of health. Nuking Rexxar will mean you will get all 4 boars on you at pretty much the same time as well as those shadowfiends that crawl though the room and drain your sanity too.
On my Hunter I use Bestial wrath as soon as the first boar appears, dps it down, let the second boar spawn, dps it down too. Then when Rexxar calls his final 2 boars I use Aspect of the Wild, Drest trinket and just nuke the boars then dps Rexxar down. If you manage to get a Gift procc during one of the boar kills the rest of the fight is smooth sailing.
what isnt clear ? information that clearly states that full clear will give you 1 level of cloak ? its not blizzard fault people have problems with basic reading comprehension .
pushing my feral druid today . had no problems to clear 2 sides on level 6.
gonna be level 15 by tonight
it was a good choice to not hurry with cloaks on some alts only have 200k+ coalescent saved
so no its not DH did the same on mage yesterday , and on DK day before - will do the same on rogue tomorrow .
efficiency
and you want to know why i didnt clear SW before last week ? because i didnt see point in farming resistance before they announced that corruptions will be farmable. as i would have to be crazy to farm random proc corruptions if i dont plan to mythic + / raid on those alts.
