jubs

feel free to ask me for tips in mail or in thread! hurry while extra drops still out!

Yea my pal got to 160 and immediately went into vma, but congrats on the flawless.

Nor do you necessarily need to make a title in allcaps to be a nuisance. But it helps.

I don't think people recommended that in order to get flawless, you need to be 561 (or above 500) - actually quite lower than that. I always thought that to get flawless comfortably, you should be able to get it around CP 300 and up (although less is possible but can be a bit challenging).

All in all, I think it's pretty normal that you can get it at CP 375. I never heard otherwise.

I got my first flawless at like 390. I didn't really feel like my cp helped after like 430~ but I'm sure it does.

I always thought it was designed at the 250cp level but I could be wrong. I first tried it at 220cp and got to the final boss of round 4 before I had to quit, this was before the save state and I was stubbornly trying to do it without sigils. It was a nightmare. Flawless comes after you've already completed it and are ready for the mechanics, so flawless should be possible on any character that can complete it.

Edit: gratz btw

If you learn all the mechanics and burn all the sigils you can easily pick flawless on cp160. Its more a l2p issue than cp issue.

As far as I know the game is balanced at 300cp

Memorizing the spawn points and optimal kill order is WAY more important than how many CP you have. Once you know which mobs are going to pop where, and in what order they will pop, you're golden. Memorization is by far the biggest part of vMA.

Thanks for all the positive comments

What sets are you using? I see in the description section on youtube where you mention your Champ Points. And what is your basic rotation? I really want to try this on my Stam DK.

I'm 561 and don't have flawless but also haven't given it a serious shot. The closest I've gotten was with two deaths, both on the third stage. But then again I also don't use any potions and don't use any sigils. The only sigil I ever use is the shield that reflects stuff on the last boss after I've destroyed all the crystals. It's my way of saying "why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?"

If you can beat vMA, then you already have what it takes to get Flawless.

If you die, the round resets, so each round must be no-death. The difference between a Flawless run and non-Flawless run is that you have rounds that you need to repeat in the latter. Flawless is really about not making mistakes (and also not having bad luck--I'm looking at you, stage 7 plants) and just lots of practice until you get to the point where you don't make mistakes. CP and stats do help, but they're no substitutes for practice.

I know a player who got Flawless Conqueror before hitting 160 CP.

Congrats. I just completed vMA on my magSorc but still struggling on my StamDK. I find the incoming damage just way too high on stage 9 round 3 without a damage shield.

And I bet VMA thought "beat me before CP160 will you? Ok have a sharpened inferno, just don't expect another once you do reach CP160!"

Grats, what did you get? a powered dagger?

Preyfar

I'm just too lazy and impatient to do it. =P I've finished it with 14/15 lives multiple times, and mostly have died to lag or just me going "Should I pop a potion? Uh... nah, I've got this. Oh. Wait. No I didn't."

It's still double drops in Orsinium. So probably a charged 2h maul and sharpened resto staff.

Before hitting 160CP on his account? Or was this prior to the removal of vet ranks, and he got it before hitting VR16? Also, main account or alt account?

Before vet ranks were removed, I had a character beat vMA at VR1 (and I still have the VR1--now CP10--vMA weapon as a souvenir in my bank), but this happened on an account with capped CP.

If this was after VR removal, then the only way I would believe it is if it's someone on a second account who had already gotten Flawless on their main account. There is so much XP in vMA and the CP at those levels are so cheap that just a few runs of practicing the arena will get you up to 160 in no time.
