Veteran City of Ash - video

Hi,
here a video of a full run-through.
We just ignored the "never play on patch day"-rule and cleared it anyway, it wasn't that much of a challenge since i'm not a vampire anymore...
enjoy! :)

    Nice video, interesting to see. We had a lot of trouble at the Ash Titan, our tank would get hit for ridiculous amounts of damage when he had the Air Atronachs and boss aggro.. like one fire spit and he'd be dead (non-vamp), meanwhile it looks like you can just walk out of it and seem to be fairly OK.

    We even tried putting the healer right behind him spamming BoL and still couldn't stay alive at 3k+ hp, and some 2,3k spell res and armor.. any ideas on what could be going wrong for us?

    We tried to figure it out but it felt more like he was a naked vampire in that phase..

    Did speed run achievement yesterday. It's pretty hard (you have 1-2 "free" minutes for usually crash or death). Didn't did without death because we pull daedroth before our last guy have passed through door and it closed. So we must die to open door. Don't make same mistake. :D

    GJ Zeni. Thx for 1.5

    sounds like your tank stood in one of the whirlwind-attacks of the air atronachs, you really have to stay out of those
    while kiting i use roll dodge to get more distance, you can time the dodge so it also dodges the fire-attack of the titan to further decrease the damage on the tank, i hope that helps! :)

    congratulations on the achievement!!! :) we tried it in this very run too but one of our DPS was in there the first time so we wiped two times on the last boss :(
    also we tried the hardmode (2 less platforms during the last boss-battle) a few times, didn't turn out so well cause back then i was still a vampire XD but we managed to get the boss to 25%
    i'll update this thread with a new video when we manage a hardmode kill

    Did all the achievements on launch day (except the grind ones) ^^.
    I'd recommend Hard Mode to everybody btw, actually makes the last boss easier. since if you start on one platform he moves in a straight line instead of randomly.

    Video of Hard Mode kill with No Death Achievement.

    Edit: I had done all the dungeon till last boss on PTS though ;)

    NP! :)

    Some tips I took from yesterday's clears:
    - The animation beofre he launches the fireballs that knock you b are easily identifiable and blocking negates the effects. Have someone calling "Block" every time and it really makes it easier.

    - Make tank stand near on edge of the platform and put the DPS near the oposite side (preferably near next platform so it's less time to run. Identify & call out the animation he does when he's gonna destroy the platform so people start running to the next one.

    - If you got DK DPS, don't do what I did in that video and just chainpull the atronachs in the midle in the 2nd platform & drop all ultimates.

    - We Begin on Right platform then mid then left platform, boss allways jumps to middle one and not the one farther away.
