Which round do you dislike in vMSA?

Kammakazi

For me, it's 5, and 7. But especially 5.

Especially 5.

Arkadius

Round 7, without a doubt. Too much RNG involved here.

Septimus_Magna

Round 7 is the worst, round 6 can also be very annoying.

Right?! I mean your back is turned and bloop plant goes up and boom!

Or when you kill the first add on the last boss and the other add puts the shield up but there's a plant right next to him.

Like what can you do?

Heindrich

5 causes me the most difficulty cos too many ads and I lack AoE.

7 is the most annoying cos of rng.

Whitebrad25

Definitely 7 for me...


When I first played MA with my templar, I almost no death'd the whole thing if not for that round...


I knew there were videos on how to do all of the stuff but I wanted to wing it without to begin...helps that regular MA is very simple in comparison to vMA.

You can coordinate where you want to have flowers "kinda". Check out my video at 17:08 there I try to explain what you can do to clear flowers:

Try the defensive sigil when a lot of adds spawn, it reflects back the arrows to the archers.

This gives you time to kill the melee adds first and then focus on the archers.

everything after 5 is a laggy mess due to the swarm of mechanics they throw at you.

Artjuh90

the poison one, it has to many buggs. first the poison random spawn, sometimes the water doesn't heal the poison and not to forget the mob who blocks enrage doesn't always work

I guess the question for me should be which round you like!
3rd can be annoying if the plants insist on spawning on the opposite side of where I am standing
4th It is annoying when you get the two spheres, afterwards the 4 spiders and then the mini melee boss (I find it more challenging than the final boss of the 4th)
5th In overall it is annoying and feels redundant when the trolls keep heading to another island. Also can be frustrating on anything except DK if you don’t act quickly in the atronachs and the giants rounds and eliminate ranged mobs, else I get one shoted (I don't use sigils)
6th Only when the RNG works against me, and I have mobs spawn while the spiders start their attack. Or when you only have 2 stones unwebed, and none decide to light up when the spiders attack!
7th When the server gets a bit lagy, and a plant explode while you are still in proximity, mostly I am considered within the explosion even when I am out. Also the Wamasu in my opinion the hardest boss in the arena!
8th The round when you have 2 Healers, 2 Flameshapers and the bug! If the healers decide to heal and one Flameshaper start the channeling I am done!
9th Mostly when there is Nighblades trying to CC me all the time… Also the last boss fight is extremely buggy (the portals not activating, or the crematorial guard damaging me while I am on the second level!)
And in overall from the 3rd arena everything gets lagy, as there is so many mechanics working simultaneously, and it seems they are calculated the server, which makes mobs attacks and mine (even heals) lag for almost a second, which means sometimes insta death...

Stage 8, hands down. As a stamina (melee) DK, the CC, close range aoe, insane melee damage, ridiculous range of the flameshapers and lurchers, and uppercut/crit charge spamming mobs make this stage my speed-run killing nightmare.

tangy.citrus

Round 7 has too much rng, and round 3 has too much CC on me. The others arent bad, just those 2 are really annoying.

Schemering

Round 1 it has no dangers or nasty mechanisms except for a snare in the middle and an easy to avoid moving aoe so it could have been left out.

I had to learn to do round 6 especially and every round where there are archers in general but that makes me like them not dislike:)

Joy_Division

All the rounds where annoying random environmental hazards are more dangerous than the actual opponents. So, 2,3,6,7, and 9.

5

All of them, have never even tried. The entire idea behind it is a joke IMO

I agree. I'm not here to bash on anyone who has completed it but the damage output just simple add's do is ridiculous. If you don't kill them before they even attack you once your going to be in a bad spot, your pretty much encouraged to spawn kill...

If you cannot kill the add's in the first boss round you will never complete it. This pretty much require's a min-max damage build.

I know Alcast has done it flawless on almost all the classes now but i would say he's just a very experienced player and know's how to animation cancel very well with a very firm grasp of mechanic's. He has had so much practice at this point that it must be a breeze for him.

If vMA was not so much a gold sink with gear repair's i might actually attempt the thing. However the amount of gold required to learn the mechanic's while practicing is way to much for me. This is the main reason i do not care to attempt vMA. Once this is addressed ill eventually get that Flawless title.

Shader_Shibes

Was 5 and 7. I have 5 nailed now, so definitely 7 just because of ridiculous rng.

Lag? I've never really experienced lag in vMA

Stage 5 and 7 for me btw.

5 even more than 7

I would say stage 9 and 7 for stamina/melee. Nine is worse.

Interesting to see so many people say 5. 5 is actually the round I mind the least because there is no stupid RNG environmental hazards. The ranged adds are tough but at least I'm in control and don't have to worry about enraged timers, 10K ticking poison plant damage, and Crematorium Guards spawning on a timer punishing those who do not have a high end DPS build.

I must add that I never use sigils. I know at these certain points I can take a defense sigil and it will be pretty easy, but I'm trying to up my score everytime.

I can easily die at stage 5 a couple of times and do a flawless run on all other stages somehow.

shugg

First round as im a tank, if i ever do it i would say I dislike the second round

Ezareth

Round 2 by a mile.

It's the most boring and un-enjoyable round by far out of the entire dungeon.

I actually enjoy Round 7 although it does seem a bit too long for me compared to the others.

It seems like many of you are just picking the rounds you have the most difficulty with.

PBpsy

Each one that has stupid stacking wtf snares.

MrGigglypants

Rd 9 crematorial is the worst for me sooo much dmg.

willymchilybily

depends what class I'm attempting it on, and how much lag i have. But generally the odd numbers.

Malmai

All rounds are ROFL

Oreyn_Bearclaw

7 is the most annoying for experienced players because it has the most RNG.

9 is probably the most difficult because of the damage output.

5 is the round most likely to make a person rage quit on their first try. Once you stop AoE'ing and figure out add priority, it's not too bad.

6 is the round most likely to make my frame rate fall through the floor and have to re-log.

I score anywhere between 380.000 and 400.000 points and always die like 7 times on stage 5 xD

Theres this one round with The frost atronachs where I just get flooded with range frost attacks still haven't figured out a good way to beat that.
