think it will still be possible after nerf, 15 shrooms per ani -> 8x15 = 120shrooms. Should be enough imo.

counted the numbers of cast by the ani recording the movie, its his 16th throw when dragon aoes, so he did 15 shrooms in total before dying and don't think the other guys did alot more. So shouldnt be a problem after ani nerf.

Not really big news to anyone who has an animist though :)

It's amazing what a whole bunch of shrooms can do, just add a bard with fop and you can solo just about anything. (epic mobs in cursed forest, all other purple mobs that are confusable (confuse with 60+ shrooms up really tears up mobs)).

Add more than one animist and you can do anything.

I'm really glad that this video is made post-nerf, reassuring to know that animists won't be obsolete with the nerf. phew.

They used a little trick to stop the Dragon AoEing the Animists, so simple yet so effective.

I think I will let someone else spill the beans on that one tbh, and any pet spam class can repeat that not just animists :)

any petspam class? you mean errr.... animists and theurgs?

80 turrets needed before their spells land at all.
100 turrets needed before they do significant damage (and land 100% of spells).
45seconds with 100+ turrets needed to drop him (30,000 hps)


To do that with theurgs you need:
to move the theurgs inside the tether range (cannot cast on dragon from outside and don't have the luxury of ground-target)
get 100+ pets on him in <15seconds due to lifespan difference and elementals having to walk (8 animists took 75secs to do this - you'd need 12+ fully dex-buffed theurgs with more sources of power than fop)


having said that, the damage could be speeded up by debuffing the dragon once the pets are up (str/con, AF, abs).
and he could be freely debuff-nuked by a ring of casters, or pbae'd ;)


but :p

cmon pin, you know as well as any of us it could be done by theurs, iv been trying to get 12 theurs together to do it sinec about 2 months ago but no one can be arsed, i bet theyl all jump on the wagon now.

The little trick theyr using to keep the aggro off the animist for most of the fight is that the FOP is generating >>>>>>> aggro than the pets or the dmg they do until they have 100+ on the dragon, and if the bard who cast the fop is out of range of teh aoe nue then the dragon wont nuke, until he switches target to an ani or that drood perhaps.

Because of the way theur pets feedback aggro to the caster i doubt it would work quite as well with theurs but i have no doubts it could be done.

quick an ddirty plan: Get a cleric or friar to drop a FOP on two opposite sides of goldys spawn, get those guys right out of range then let the petspam commence. Its probably not even important which type of pet you use, once you have the to-hit the caster pets are probably best but imagine 40 air pets never missing a stun? the dragon would be perma stunned surely? you could walts up to him with an ice wizzie and pbaoe the shit out of him.

Pity my account is closed or id be rounding up theurs left and right right now to go and try it ;)

ps if anyone DOES try it, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD dont make a video....

Last time we did it with PDC, I think I died like 10 times if not more.

And as it seems, they are all casting high lvl shrooms, caus they were oom pretty fast and had to sit for mana or so .. and it will be a lot of easyer even if he kills with ae , tnx to ae buffs etc. And if they had like 15 shrooms up each .. 15 x 8 = 120 shrooms+- .. and each of em did 6x dam ? (shitty quality, couldnt c well, but it wasnt over 99 :D ) ..

and he died fast, mby tnx to highlvl shrooms ? :x

need to test it :D
