Raid runs and gear drops

wow now i got a R48 telling me how to play?

burst damage does matter when you got 10-12 skelies to nuke down... you gonna put dots on em?

Its entirely more reliable that the archer wont take damage rather than the melee.

i have a feeling some of you guys are saying stuff that you actually havent experienced, i think its likely that none of you have completed a speed run w/o full archers... to be perfectly honest

1. Burst down all the bones at once, no need to spread out or kill a couple at a time. Archers have wide volley and an array of other AOEs they can use (Leg Sweep from LNC is boss btw; conal AOE stun (Lv 16 LNC, probably would only take an hour to get to that level); PGL Aura Pulse is actually stronger then Archer AOE for that kind of burst vs bones. As long as MRD is in steadfast, they'll destroy anything that comes in their AOE range (i.e. bring the skeletons to the MRD's)

And if you want to maximize the DPS, anyone with Line of Fire use it, Shock Spikes II use it, Punishing Barbs use it.

2. You probably shouldn't be talking about having not experienced it. At least on the character linked to this account, you haven't even cleared Batraal in a "normal run".

Oh my god Im such a noob because I am only r48 and obviously I know nothing about the darkhold because im not rank 50, even tjough its a r45 dungeon omg imma have to kill myself after this revelation.

/sarcasm off

I have been playing since alpha have you? Also I can use wide volley on my LNC, I can also stun ALL skeles with leg sweep while doing damage, oh and if I want and can get placement right I can hit multiple mobs with skewer 2 or twisting vice.

Also I like the way you only mentioned about my burst damage comment burst damage also DoT isnt just DoT spells its general damage over time, how can I put this you could take a mobs HP bar to half with ARCs then they all die because of the hate generated, whereas if you take thier HP bar to half over time with melee, the tank will keep hate and you will win because melee will survive.

Melee runs require thought to go into them, which is probably why you need to use ARCs because you cannot think a melee run through because you do not know the basic mechanics of the game. Have you even done a melee run its not as hard as you think if you do it right, and if you are using LS members it should be no problem they might even beable to tell you how stun works if your really good.
