Challenge of the Gods Ascends!

The gods have returned once again to test the many heroes that venture across Neverwinter. Be wary, for their challenges are not for the faint of heart! If you successfully complete their challenge, they’ll bestow you with a Gift of the Gods.

I don't remember what the timer on this one was, but I'd quibble the ease is pretty dependent on class, and very dependent on where you're adventuring, and could in fact be quite difficult at this time. Most CC comes from encounter use, for example.

Oh, and a PSA of sorts. If you open your combat with an encounter, it doesn't count towards the total for Sune's challenge. You need to be in combat for those to start ticking, so engage your mobs with an at-will, especially if you lack zippy cooldowns.

I found Mount Hotenow to be the easiest place at level 60. Not sure what will be the "best" place now at level 70 but I am thinking it may be Sharandar (powries).

OMG so biased to GWF none of the restrictions involve "Do not use at wills"
Joking, but kind of not, I play a gGWF

You're right. I hadn't thought of that. I was imagining begging for invites or running to Icewind Dale. Stronghold does make it quite easy.

If the timer hasn't changed, it's 3 minutes. Most squishy classes should be able to pew pew 10 minions while running away from anything beefy in that time. Zone and class may make this trickier, but in general it should be easy.

This is actually due to changing the Challenge of Amaunator.

Old: Kill 5 Enemies; No At-Will Powers

Lol not having been here for previous rounds I wasn't aware of that change, so this round I guess is biased to GWFs.

I have problems killing larger mobs of stuff alone on my healer DC..but .. Tymora- I got you bae ​​

kreatyve

I can't wait for this one to start! It's one of my favorite events.

zeusom

I doubt the life tooltip for the vicious enchantment will say "double-click to improve" unless we can upgrade to rank 13.

Kill 5 foes in 5 minutes for Torm?

My Paladin of Torm, Sentry Goldenflame, which I have nicknamed the "Holy Tac Nuke" kills up to 20 when gathered near him.. just by sneezing. 40 foot aura and radial blast powers... Rating it Trivial under-states it.

darkstarcrash

This is a fun event. I like that various challenges are better suited for different classes:

"Kill 10 foes without using encounters"? My GWF will eat it up!
"Use encounters powers 10 times in combat"? My trapper HR will zip through it!
"Kill 2 foes without using healing potions"? My devo Pally is ready!

All of the challenges tended to be more challenging at level 10.

I'd love to learn an easy way to complete Corellon's.

Take off almost all your equipment and let puny mobs beat on ya for 30 seconds. Probably will work best in Sharandar with powries. It's not that it is hard, it's that our gear doesn't give much flexibility to stay below half health without either healing or dying. Last time, I completed this on a few characters by taking off most of my gear in Mount Hotenow and letting the little earthy mobs beat on me while I run in circles.

Hasnt anyone pointed out the lack of info about Moradin? O_o

Probably because next to nobody cares about the God of the Dwarves.

Which is sad, really.

Moradin got dumped between Challenge of the Gods v1 and Challenge of the Gods v2. He might return for v3. I'd take Moradin's crafting challenges over Corellon's sadism all day every day.

beckylunatic

I think they dropped Moradin because the challenge continually failed for people who swore up and down that they should have been credited. Whether those people had misunderstood the conditions or there was legitimately a bug, the devs might have simply decided it wasn't worth trying to resolve beyond disabling it.

Dat is some nice swag right chere.

Almost as nice as my many, many pairs of pants.

So nothing for Moradinians to do at this event?

The same challenges as everyone else. The actual challenges you're given are randomized. The gods are just loosely themed to them.
