Need Help Beating Planar Inhibitor!

Vaoh · September 2016

So this boss is simple enough with 4 players. A little more difficult with 3 players. Gets pretty tricky with 2 players.....

.... I need some help with soloing this boss.

***Does anyone know how much the damage per second the persistent flame DoT caps at?*** That is the most important bit.

Also, what ways can damage taken be decreased, when that damage is burning down your damage shield?

This boss is unbelievably difficult to solo, but IS soloable, so please don't try to tell me it is impossible

Thank you!

You'd never solo it. Once it goes blue you're gone. That dot eats through anything on blue phase.

Maybe on a sorcerer because the last three rotations u get slowed to a root in which you will die without dodge roll or streak

Vaoh · September 2016

@DRXHarbinger
Magicka Sorcerer can cast Bolt Escape.

Only a Magicka Sorcerer can get past the Blue Phase mechanic (alone).

I need to know the strength of the DoT to survive it w/ shields, while simultaneously destroying portals and streaking.

EDIT: Upon further thought, it is also doable on Magicka/Stamina Nightblade as well!

Why even ppl want to solo 4-player content?
Is there an achievement?

It's like.... fun. And awesome. I solo basic Vet dungeons like City of Ash for fun as well. Essentially like vMA, but vWGT is far more difficult and mechanics cannot be skipped through sheer DPS when playing alone.

I don't find burning Horvantud in like 10 seconds very fun

jeo329 · September 2016

Hold on the first boss resets if u only one alive in a cage how you get passed it?

Vaoh · September 2016

@Joe329 There are numerous ways to bypass that mechanic. I don't want to give away all of my secrets though

When I permatank the pinion on my sorc tank, the fire dot takes out roughly a 13-15k shield every second. So, the damage seems to cap out at around 15k/second before resistances are applied when damaging your health pool.

Barring some pretty impressive regen and magicka pools and shield stacking, I'm skeptical that the content can be soloed with any sort of enjoyable timeframe. And I'm more interested in how you would defeat kena with the resource draining atros with the boss constantly channeling stuns and large hits.

For the first boss, there is a window of a few seconds before she resets. If you have the lockpicking passive and break the lock instantly, you can avoid resets when soloing (as long as RNG doesn't screw you on the lock break).

For the planar inhibitor, you've got both the Heat Stroke DoT and the you-touch-me-and-die-because-I-am-blue damage. I guess a streaky harness-spamming sorc can do it in theory, if they spec a ton into sustain, but... this why would you subject yourself to this?

something smells of cheat/exploit here.... #sniff#

This. There's a certain exploit that has been a problem in PVP that will get you out of the cage.

Wait really? That sounds cheap

I don't like that.

I will need around 50K Max Magicka to gain enough time after casting shields to cast 1-2 other skills (Streak/Force Pulse). It's fun to have a ridiculously challenging fight. Ra Kotu is also extremely difficult to solo when fighting alone.

@Drummerx04
So 15K/second huh... wow.

Does the DoT become insignificant if running Heavy Armor with near-capped resistances while you have HoTs like Power Surge+Rapid Regen+Illustrious Healing running?

As for Molag Kena... I'll cross that bridge when I get to it

Elaborate plz.

No exploits being done here. Just skill.

Sorry to break it to you, but being a Magicka Templar w/ Black Rose and 1H/S isn't enough to keep you alive against these bosses

NO exploits, overperforming gear, or overperforming classes... just lots of skill and difficulty. Same reason why I played Dark Souls!

Ra Kotu just use clannfear. Speaking of which have you tried bringing out your two legged friend?

I know I can use a Clannfear, but it sort of trivializes that fight

I killed Ra Kotu twice without using a clannfear. Lots of mobility!

I have a feeling the Inhibitor will incinerate my Pets. Might try out one pet though in my attempts.

If you do successfully solo the inhibitor, do recorded it. It would be cool to see it.

I'll try. I have been trying to gather my gear to make my "final" Mag Sorc build. Main issue is I need Gold Necropotence jewelry, but it is so expensive I will likely have to settle with purple

MintyBadger · September 2016

Me and my other half duo'd this today. The way we got round it, was to use the werewolf pounce onto the rifts to move away from it. We still had to swap the inhibitor during the phase though. I'm not sure it can be solo'd.

Resistances aren't so much the issue on a sorc which is shield stacking. If you stack harness and ward and possibly healing ward, you will probably reach around 50k shields which should buy enough time to get in some damage to heal up with surge and continue the fight.

I understand that -_- That is basic Mag Sorc survivability knowledge.

I ask about capped resistances, because it may be a possibility to use Heavy Armor with capped resistances and lots of HoTs instead of shields. Big MAYBE, so possibly worth a try.

Okay fair enough. Good healers can keep a full dot burn victim alive through the full dot and that should include themselves. So I guess give it a try?

Why pat yourself on the back and not show us with video. With no video I call bs or CE/exploits. Can argue all you want but most of us wont buy this unless you can prove it. You can say what do I have to prove to you but then why bring this to the forums anyway? Think the world record holders just call in their scores? Nope and there is a reason.

I didn't pat myself on the back

Highly recommend you work on your reading comprehension skills though.

Nowhere did I say I soloed the Planar Inhibitor. I specifically made it clear I have not soloed this boss, because I've come to the Forums to get some helpful info (such as the DoT when Heat Stroke is at full strength) from fellow posters.

There will be a video when I get around to gathering my gear and taking this boss down. Simple.

No point helping people exploit a system that people will then use as an example of why we need to punish casuals with higher difficulty.

You patted yourself on the back about all the other dungeons you soloed. Where can we check out those videos? Thanks in advance.
