Just sharing my own experience/comp. My team consistently farms 1300+ with our best events having 1600+ coins. We have Rogue/Hunter/Flex/2x disc priest Our hunter starts the event by using Eagle Eye to find the Loa ASAP. Most important things are to stay together as a group, don’t get greedy and overextend, engage in groups already fighting, and rez together if you wipe. Hope these tips are helpful for anyone reading and good luck in the event

Very good video! 2) comments though, 1) the boss is killable (but requires a massive coordinated effort). 2) you can always ask on /1 where the boss is. People will answer as everyone wants to be near the boss for the buff. It also allows you to be grouped and not to be wiped instantly

@drygos

3 ай бұрын

Yeah, it really depends on your layer. If the boss spawns near the beach (south east) it's usually not the best place to be, unfortunately because of the spawn points and terrain. But, for the most part, yeah it can get really crowded. If you're finding a tough time even grouping up, you can try a different location a little further away from the boss/altar just to start getting some momentum and then work your way in once you have 100+ bloods to turn in.

ez way to find boss! Start "middle" altar safe! use Eagle Eye macrod with bosse's name and marker! 1min pre start put ur eagle eye on most far north or south altar work ur way up or down when it starts u find boss in 30sec or less (if hunter or shaman also works)

Nice guide. The hard part is getting the healer. Running without, you become food / blood statck. Thats why i do not run STV anymore. I would if they removed the loss of blood on death. But as is, its way too punishing for non premades with good comp.

Thank you!! Definitely much harder without a healer. We have issues finding healers on our server too. Everytime I get into a group with a healer I try to make friends with them, so that we can play more in the future. It really depends, its managable without healers but without one, you will likely only be getting 1-200 coins per run. So, yeah, try to find one! What server are you on? I'm curious if the healing issue is the same across all servers? I think there's a lot of people leveling alt toons that are healers to help, but I imagine it will always be an issue.

What would you advise for someone like me that doesnt play much and is most of the time solo as Rogue ? Trying to finish off people near the Altar ?

@drygos

4 ай бұрын

I wouldn't really worry too much as a rogue to play "near altars" because you can always stealth your way up to one to turn in when you need to. However, altars are usually where theres the most enemies. If you can find areas that are fairly dense with players around kha'damu I would. And just play on the outskirts looking for cheesy kills (low level isolated kills) where you can come out of stealth, kill quickly, and vanish or sprint away to reset your stealth. That should give you the most blood per kill. I don't really recommend solo play in this event, it'll be difficult, but thats definitely one way you can do it. Good luck!

The smaller your group the less blod you should lose when dying, and if you're solo you should lose no blood, this includes being layered out of your group or being too far away. Its almost impossible but actual fun and survival to kill one or 2 people while completely alone but then getting steamrolled by a million people and losing those tiny amounts you are able to get is completely demoralizing

@drygos

4 ай бұрын

Yeah, I think the layering issue that breaks groups up is not great. They should just move the whole group to a new layer if someone is stuck. I think its an interesting idea about the blood and group size. Personally, my experience with classic is that it encourages groups, friends, community. It's always been tailored to that, and it's always been hard to enjoy as a solo player. It's really important to find a good strategy around positioning so that you don't end up deep in the sauce and go on a death-roll. It happens to me too, but repositioning and finding a new spot after a death that doesn't feel very good, typically works out well. But I agree, they should do some tuning with the saturation of the event- and how punishing dieing can be. Maybe add more layers and less people per event so that it's less laggy and also not 500000 people on top of each other at some times.

best way to find the big fooker is to camp the middle alter, and read chat, they generally spam it.

Alternatively you can go with a group of 10-15 and go to the cave at 33/65 in STV and rotate groups.
