Orbs on Gorsey

[Dahkeus.8243]

Hey everyone, I haven’t done Gorseval in probably over a year, but I’m curious for what classes people think are strong for handling the orbs. I know that Tempests were traditionally the ones that handled these, so I assume that Weavers are probably the go-to build for this. However, what other class/builds handle these well? Are DH with scepter able to clear them well enough?

[Sephylon.4938]

dh scepter, thieves can swap to p/p if they want to help with it, necro's epi, rangers can send their pets to kill the orbs, really any class with range can kill the orbs, problem is how many do you want to send as you still have to clear the spirits and deal enough damage to gorseval.

Every DPS class can do orbs, but some classes are limited to melee attacks and can therefore only clear orbs right when they spawn. I reality most groups don't really care about orbs at all because Gorseval dies before they can become a threat. If the need rises, they should be cleared by classes that lose the least DPS by clearing - DH and weaver might indeed be good, but the best class by far is condi warrior, because you can aim at the orbs through boss which in fact INCREASES your dps to boss because you'll have more furious stacks.

just press your Epidemic button every so often. effortless clearing

Mmm.. I don't think we bother to do orbs anymore.. everyone stack at mid, occasionally we just need to clear a little only during phases.. no big deal with orbs these days. Ppl usually ignore it. This is mid strats with no gliding.

Epidemic and Scorched Earth take the least amount of effort, as in you do not even have to stop attacking the boss. Anyone with ranged attacks can clear an orb or two during the ghost phase if needed.

One of the rare occasions in raids where Scourges oughta be welcomed with open arms.

I don’t main a necro, but I don’t think that epi will go far enough out to his most orbs, right?

What for? During 2nd split 1 person can literally clean all orbs, while the rest of the team kills ghosts.

it has 900 range, so it won't hit the ones on the edges, but those don't matter anyway
