Any of you hoarding Castle Never videos?

Been trying to find some videos, only found one and it didnt show much.

Just wondering if anyone is clearing CN yet, or atleast has some videos of entire boss encounters?

    From what I understand, the final boss is pretty extremely over tuned right now.

    Yah, my guild has done it a fiew times. They said its pointless because the drops are non-existent. I havent had the time lately to get a group going and try it, so was trying to do some research and find a video. It must be terrible if theres not videos already on youtube. =/

    There are some videos up if you search the boss names on youtube ("Valindra's pet" and "Talgath the Watcher" are the first two and the only two I remember)

    I don't think anyone has legitimately killed the Dracolich, and I'm pretty sure no one has killed Valindra. I imagine that when dungeon delves gets fixed and more people finish up some T2 sets, there will be more progress made.

    Cleared it last night. We never bother to record content. It's just one big gear check / competency exam.

    1) burn boss kiting adds
    2) burn boss kiting adds
    3) kill boss dps add phases down rinse repeat

    That's not really surprising I suppose. I only really did Dracolich for about an hour last night before it was too late to continue (it was our first time in Castle Never). The adds seemed pretty difficult to kite due to their charges + speed + high damage. I just assumed that it would be unlikely that a kite strat would win, but that might have just been inexperience with it. Did you use 2 clerics or something? Either way, I'd be interested in seeing a video of that fight in particular.

    Got any proof or screens that you "cleared" it? Maybe you did, but I won't believe it till I see it.

    Also, there is a big difference between gear check and competency check.

    I just watched those two videos on Valindras Pet and Talgoth the Vile. Now granted I havent been in there, but...It looks incredibly easy. Easier than any most T2 boss fights thats for sure.

    The Group had 1 cleric, 2 cw and 2 rogues...Looked like the cleric just focused on the boss the whole fight, for both fights. Seen some big hits in there, but thats cuz the cw got out of the shield. Am I missing something? Avoid the stuff on the ground, kill the adds, dps the boss. Could not be more straight forward and easy in my mind.

    I'll take screenshots of dead bosses just for you tonight when we clear it repeatedly to sell the epics for AD. Gauntelgrym is not currently patched I to the game. Clearing castle never does not activate it.

    Also we run CW/DC/GWF/TRx2

    For boss encounters, the DC and CW control and kite adds while the TRx2/GWF burn the boss.

    it's really sad that you don't even need a Guardian... really sad.

    Considering boss fights consist of aoe spam from bosses and they rarely ever move, all a cleric has to do is seal the boss and kite with chains/come and get it/singularity.

    This game may have a trinity, but it certainly doesn't require a trinity.
