New PW Expansion (PWCN: Glory and Rebirth)

Adroit - Lost City wrote: »

I've solo'd pv with stats like those before, it was a bit of a challenge to do it all in one pull, but 2-3 pulls is easily doable with a decent genie and some apoth.

well, I guess I could do a run solo...pulling small groups and whatnot...I have to practice it a bit more. Problem with apoth is the cooldown. I for sure can do it with apoth + genie, but then I'll watch the paint dry until apoth cooldown... I have to try, but I don't think I'll be able to pull out 3 runs/15 min like that.
Anyway , thanks for tip. If someone could do it it means it's just a matter of "try more and get better at it" (sort of like aoe grind in 2009 in map 3, lol, no one believed I could do it on wiz only self buffed. Took me some tries to get the routine polished up). thanks.

Anything with a zhen should do okay due to expel. Clerics are okay with purify+expel combo, but will have a lot of problems killing fast enough if vit build. Likewise for psys with psy will and then sage BoL+expel combo. Mystic...I've seen how Burnout does it. Probably gonna need Lucky Break.

Really, the class that should have the most trouble in there is sin.

well I can solo it on my barb, BM and even on sin if I try a bit harder, but wiz...well, that's the sweet spot because outside of static buff I don't have anything to help me.
I can't aoe stun for 6 seconds, I can't go in white voodoo until apoth is in cooldown, I don't have SoS/SoR/SoV and other SoNfabish skills to keep **** away from me. So ya, gimme all those and I'll fly through PV while eating popcorn and watching a movie on my 2nd screen

not enough really, even with a +10 G16 wep I can't kill everything fast enough to work only with expel. I'm pure mag, 3 base vit.

How is assassin's stealth level and detection level after reincarnation ? Will the new character levels add up to it or only follow the old levels ?

if we merge skills, can we still use the previous skills before merged ?


Is this all for cleric or only partial ? There is no offensive merged skills in it.

I think Cleric was posted before, but, I cleaned it up a little. Not a lot of changes, the RB/BB changes are subtle at best, with a little something to up the DD while you're in Violet.
I've bolded the important stuff.

You should be able to do it w/ apoth + good mag genie and sage DS/pyro. (and cleric/barb buffs obv)

1. Have 3.99 sparks, DS + holy path + DS

2. Pop Shadow binder powder - this should get you to around the 2nd lake.

3. Triple spark, then DS

4. Master li's to get 1 spark, then Dragon's Breath + expel

5. Most mobs should be dead by the 2nd tick, all will die by the 3rd tick

6. You should be able to finish the rest of the instance without Shadow binder powder, might be 2-3 more pulls depending on how much you can handle and how good your genie is (this is where sage is important, you need to get back up to 3.99 sparks asap to make good time)

Haven't actually tried it though, so it's all theorycraft. Demon wiz are SOL for PV except getting OP gear.

ty, gonna try it this week-end

Adroit - Lost City wrote: »

Have you thought about sparking before opening zhen?

yeah, but that kinda' leaves me "dry" after...

anyway, thanks everyone for tips. I'll figure it out. I haven't tried more than 3 times until now to do it, so yeah, I might just need practice since I'm only at G16 average refines and not at r9rrr +10/12 level.

Burnout - Harshlands wrote: »

I need 3.99 sparks on mystic as well, I need to spam my base nuke after every pull to get back up to 3.99 and I can still fit in 3 runs.

With R999 I could probably do 5-6 since I wouldn't need to 3-spark anymore, but with your level of gears it just takes time, no way around it.

Since we're on this topic, can you link me your PV mystic vid again? Gonna have another go at it when I have Lucky Break. p;

this became thread about how to do pv? b:lipcurl

someone ,who was reading patch notes, told me that tm is removed.
Dunno if it's true.

Coming to a pack sale near you b:mischievous

Saethos - Raging Tide wrote: »

Just a thought...Can people that have been reincarnated form full squads to do TM runs with their gear while still being able to get the TM rewards regardless of formerly being level 100+? Like TM 79, for example. I might start a caster and account stash the robe if so.

After reading the link few pages back with all the changes, I believe they taking TM69/79 away.

Video on new login and chargen screen.

It's so similar to the same page in other game I play, even the sin animation looks almost the same. Looks cool anyway, I didn't see any new races in there.
