NM Ankh

[Esthyr]

After encountering NM Dr Klein this weekend for the first time, started researching this fight (this is a work in progress)

Dimension Shroud (10 sec channel approx every 90 secs) kept killing me, it was about 4k dmg/sec, filth dmg which apparently protection is useless against- this is a heal check (but everyone can help) and most use 2 different type of healers, it stuns the tank so no def cool downs


Useful abilities

Pistol-dps
Backup Drone-+30% heals-multiples may stack?
Greater Good-+15% heals
Deadly Aim-+40% crits

Shotgun-dps
Flak Jack-15% less dmg-may not reduce filth dmg
Defensive Turret-15% less dmg- may not reduce filth dmg

Fist-healer
Radiance
Empowerment

AR healing
Reap & Sew-everyone defensive targeting tank

I plan on running
Forged in Fire-40% heal over 10 secs once below 50% health
Unfair advantage-+5% heals
Hitting Stoicism (30% less dmg)-right before the channel

Isn't reap and sow disabled, or did they bring it back?

[Esthyr]

I am def not a healer but i believe they fixed the duration (8 secs only) and its back.
Ill test it on a fusang turret next chance i get. 8)

[Kotts]

Sweet. Looks like its worth a shot.

When you go back, please consider other research data for the Bestiary!!

Est, won't barrier potions work? I swear I saw some random video on YouTube where they used them.

But then again, I might have daydreamed it...

[Sumner]

If it's a channel, could someone else slot an interrupt for when he hits it? Then have the tank pop Slight of Hand, or have somebody cleanse the stun on him?

[Esthyr]

Yes i suppose the tank could take a barrier potion before the impair. Is there any way to use a potion on someone else? Ive never tried that...

Ive read that sleight of hand is disabled and i dont think the channel can be impaired or cleansed. Seems like Funcom really wants you to heal through it.

[Sumner]

Hmm. I'd want to verify that the channel can't be interrupted. It really wouldn't surprise me to learn that people hadn't even tried, forgetting that peopel other than a tank can put impairs on. Now, it also wouldn't surprise me to learn that the channel can be interrupted, but the stun can't be broken, so Klein turns around and goes buck wild on some DPS while the tank navel gazes, but it'd still be good to test.

[Esthyr]

Yup definitely a good test. Ill ask a dps to try and interupt next time.
