Sharen Graves.1276 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Really?? try being color blind. I cant do any of the new fractals because of all the mechanics going off at one time. So when they are in the rotation I skip fractals for the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's minimal colour really they are using.. circle and ball on head of the boss or eye.. I don't think they rely on colour.. you can recognise the mechanic pattern.. even if just black and white ..but again I wouldn't be able to know unless I'm colour blind myself..

narcx.3570 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 With anomalies being faster, and that being intended, it seems like their intention is to officially bump power dps from simply being the better option to being the only real option for fractals. I can't see very many groups (outside of stubborn/masochistic guild statics or whatever) ever taking a condi dps for 100CM now, especially if you're pugging... Which means there's literally no reason to put your AR on a condi class. Which means fractals are officially zerk-or-die status like nilla dungeons.

Anomalies last longer after the latest patch. It was doable with condis before and even better now if enough/all players are going for them and not staying brainlessly at Arkk to dps him like there's no morning. In some of my latest pug runs I met some of those players and I also saw wipes because both power dps stood in the middle and didn't care in the slightest. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarasicodissa.7084 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It was never intended for anomalies to be so short. Reverting them back to previous length was simply fixing a bug (I think actually now they even have an extra second or two) and the main reasoning is to make condi-based DPS builds capable of killing the anomaly consistently. Btw. now that we have a lot of time to kill the anomaly, DPS players SHOULD always (or in most cases) stay in the middle and focus primarily on the boss. As a weaver, aiming your plasma blast on the anomaly (through the boss obviously) and sacrificing 1 lava font should be more than enough to kill it. This is especially true when you have condi warrior in your party (as opposed to power spellbreaker), because he can and SHOULD aim F1s from sword and longbow to cleave anomaly along with the boss. Not only this lets warrior get better cleave dps, but it also increases his DPS to boss, because hitting anomaly allows you to build up furious stacks faster. From my experience, it's perfectly possible to solo kill anomaly as condi war and unless you're stuck in a bad part of your rotation (where only sword AA is available) it actually increases the whole party's damage significantly. So yeah with competent warrior, DPS players should pretty much never touch the anomaly, because it's better for them as well as the warrior. With a terrible warrior, you will have to sacrifice a lot of your DPS or maybe consider replacing him with someone competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a terrible warrior, you will have to sacrifice a lot of your DPS or maybe consider replacing him with someone competent. It is never ever possible to solo clear the anomaly as a warrior if you are out of berserker modus and don't have torch 4 & 5 available, not even one of them alone is enough. And yes, to lay down a lava font shouldbe the minimum for a weaver but there is also no reason to not leave Arkk since you lose so little dps when turning at anomaly. It's just a cheap excuse and most players I've seen were also bad in dps'ing Arkk in terms of numbers. Fact is: Killing the anomaly is the easiest thing for dps classes and not for war, druid and chrono they already have so little to do and if dps players are not capable of doing their task they don't deserve the kill. If the anomaly cannot be killed in time only both dps classes are to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talindra.4958 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 btw... its only from the last two days, @ ARK during split phase, the orb can get stuck on a position and not moving with the player, kicking, pushing and attacking it will move it tho but it stay static otherwise. i think this is a bug.

Talindra.4958 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I think so ..:p its ok now the last few runs lol Very temperamental.. only had the orb stuck issue for few days only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceman.4572 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 If you push an orb *behind* a pillar it's still possible that it will stuck there and you either gg or die some seconds later because the mechanic says so. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Dos Cavalos.6132 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The orb just stopped for no reason in the middle of the platform and had to be kicked with skills. But only saw it happen once so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually run towards pillar and plant the orb there, then dodge out. with this little baby bug.. we just manually push it to the pillar instead because the orb was stuck and not moving (stuck as in outside the pillar.. but stuck behind the pillar) by the way, the bug was only exp on the 1st of feb and 2 days before that. .. I didn't not experience this bug now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it was worst that it can get stuck on the side of platform before but after few fixes it's performing much better. I hvnt exp the problem with it stuck on pilIar like you mentioned.. i guess maybe disabling auto attack for this boss might avoid this xD sometimes auto attack can stuff up orb pushing. I prefer to drag it to pillar instead and then dodge out aoe after. Or only hit with one hit near pillar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPMN.1483 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 How about when the pillar is blown up by the orb it is fully cleared? That way it reduces the chance of the orbs getting stuck causing a wipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
