Has NM Drops been sucking for you too? XD

You gotta admit pre-nerf you needed 4 tanks, 6 THMs, and 5 ARCs or you had no chance, don't blame Molly for using a version of the old-school strategy.

I tanked all the goblins at once pre-nerf with my MRD. It was possible. The NMs weren't that hard to begin with, anyway.

I think you missed his sarcasm :P

I (successfully) tanked all the gobs at once on our first ever attempt (way before the nerf) but a lot of our DPS were too fragile for the multi-bomb tosses so we switched to a different strategy after that. Post-nerf now it's just a huge joke and anyone having trouble with 1 non-emulate tank is doing something seriously wrong.

Sarcasm? Raikki you know I'm always serious when talkin' NMs.

In all honesty, we used to trio gob before the nerf without emulate(not a gloat, just a laugh at how simple it was). I remember looking at the posts before the NMs came out and looking at the pic of the glad in front of the buffalo and thinking "Finally! Tough content!". Oh, how naive I was.

hush you!!!!

/facepalm

Why are you using two tanks post-nerf? You should only be using one. Are you using low rank players or something?

We use two tanks because it's easy. One for the NM and one for the adds. My strategies work so stfu. In the end that's what matters, not what others think of my strategies.

[Molly_Millions]

The set up you use doesnt influence drop rate if thats what your trying to imply, such as using a thm tank vs a gla tank

No it doesn't. However, the strategy does affect how quickly you beat him and thus how many times per day you can fight him which can leadto more drops in the end.

If you concentrate all your firepower on the main NM to begin with and just kill the minions with AOE, you'll get your kill time down, and have more chances for multiple respawns in the same spawn window.

Molly, you just said yourself that you want "faster kills" so you can get more kills in (which is what everyone goes for), but the strategies you post are much slower than what the rest of us do. If you're THM tanking you don't need ANY extra healers. Those people/slots could be DPS and getting you a faster kill. If you're non-emulate tanking you don't need TWO tanks post-nerf. It's not even close to needing two. Not only is the extra tank superfluous but if you're separating the gobs and not burning them all down simultaneously that's also unnecessarily slower. A non-emulate tank also only needs 1 healer. Again, you could be doing faster damage here.

On a different note hamster, I think your idea about the "Right-click quick cast option" would be a lifesaver when duoing, especially without a mage present.

Thanks

We both know what I watched today while you guys tried at buffalo, and there's really no need to drag up this old thread just to cause trouble. There's seriously no defending Abaddon at this point.
