GreyWolves get Veteran City of Ash Deadly Assassin (speed run)

Koga · November 2014

Here is a video of our speed run last night on Veteran City of Ash. We got it with a bugged Flame Atronach hitting us and keeping us in combat towards the end. We quite literally had to cut a few corners but this SOB is tough.

Staring:

Jeremy as Xaraan - Tank, Imperial Nightblade
Manny as Mojican - Healer, Imperial Templar
Tanner as Magnus - DPS, Altmer Sorcerer
Rob as Koga - DPS, Altmer Sorcerer

With Special appearances from: The Undaunted head and shoulders sets.

Tali the healing totem of love
Chris the Lych Crystal
Ash the Meteor
Xaraan's inner Helga (best we could come up with for his helmet procs turning him to stone)

Enjoy

That was fun.

At least this time the tank didn't die at the very end of the last boss fight when he was at 25% health with plenty of time to go still.

Bah. I really want one of the Undaunted sets. However, the gold chest absolutely hates me. I don't know how everyone is getting these so quickly!

Sorry to hear that man, We run them a A LOT with so we get 4 keys per night each but the first week and a half I had all the shoulders and no mask then I started getting the masks for the shoulders i didn't have

Why do the mages use lightning staffs instat of fire staffs?

Lightning synergizes with sorcerer class better

edit: but actually, through at least the first fight, the DPS both use a fire staff, soooo... ??

What exactly is better? Yesterday we discussed this video and the only reason for lightning staffs is the use of a pvp set or the synergy, that lightning bolts hit two more targets and increase spell penetration a little bit. But this is Nonsens for single targets. Flamestaff is much more powerfull for Single targets like the ashtitan. But i'm sure, there must be a good reason for using lightning staffs in the city of ash Oo

Septimus_Magna · December 2014

I think he uses the lightning staff for 2 reasons on his single target dps bar. The first is the passive that gives a 6% chance to disintegrate low health targets. The second is the synergy with elemental drain, channeling a heavy lightning attack seems to restore quite a bit magicka.

Personally I use lightning for AOE and fire for single target because lightning does 15% splash damage to nearby enemies and fire increase crit chance by 10%. Also I think most enemies in City of Ash have some fire resistance but I haven't tested this yet.

But I like the idea of restoring extra magicka with Elemental Drain and the lightning channel attack. And I will do some testing of my own.

Koga · December 2014

Septimus is 100% correct . those are exactly the reasons for using lightning. I should add that both my staffs are precise and the fire has a lightning enchant and the lightning has a fire enchant. The reason for that is to try and get more burning DOTs to proc Valkyn Skoria's meteor w/o giving up the chance to disintegrate.

Grats' on the run. Just a tip, if you make the mistake you did in your video of running after the two flame atronachs that spawn (on horse back) they will bug out and agro your team before de-spawning if you don't give them a headstart. This is stupid for a speed run, but waiting 5-10 seconds to let them run up the cliff side and then de-spawn as they should makes it less aggravating

Yea, we knew better and just messed up.

Though zos should definitely address that issue imo.

Most definitely, I agree

The fact that you were able to pull off the run WHILE it was bugged just makes it that much more impressive. I'd be proud if I did that haha
