Getting refused to EX groups as a DRK

[Ipkonfig]

What plethora of magic? Most everything has been physical?


First bosses attacks are all physical.
Second boss--things that hurt? All physical (dolls, gob walkers)
Third boss? All physical (hands, attacks in phase 3)
Fourth boss? This is the closest mix? Perpetual Ray is magic damage but a warrior can have an IB through each one. Once disonance stops casting, use IB--have -20% for the rest of the ability. Do that for the first one, then for the second do that and vengance. Third one, do that and thrill of battle, or equilibirum.

Not sure where you see lots of magic damage at, cause literally--its one thing, and I would much rather still have a warrior on it applying 10% - damage (missiles are physical damage, for instance).

Floor 1 is negligible since the damage is pathetically low.

Floor 2 does in fact have magical attacks as stated above, when I went in as WAR there were attacks that were not parried during Raw Intuition. Gob Walkers and the dolls have something that couldn't be parried I didn't see what it was because it was happening to fast, but out of the string of parries something that hit hard came through not parried.

Floor 3 has plenty of magic attacks, final phases Cascades for example, eating tethers are magical, the hand damage is negligible since you just group up and split it with everyone.

Floor 4 is all magic. The entire fight is nothing but magic damage, except the adds auto attacks I guess, and if you get quarantined that add is physical, Discoid is a heavy hitting tank buster, especially at the end of the fight and it's magic.

When savage opens up I imagine Floor 4 is going to be a DRK's dream for MTing.

Floor 2: Crits ignore parry--if you are being attacked rapidly, you will probably get crit, and those crits hurt, and you cant block or parry crits. I also -believe- you cannot parry ranged attacks, and I think the Gob Walkers armor piercing shell is ranged.


Floor 3: tethers are negligble damage, cascades can hurt if it gets that far but generally low. Hand damage and the bosses (i forget the name--its when he uses his left hand to smack you) are the hard hitting tank attacks of the fight. Rest is ignorable.

Floor 4: Discord is not a heavy hitting tank buster--it attack that follows (the laser, which is not discord) is magical damage--that would be the power that is pulsing you for tons o damage. I'm not sure if discord is merely a cast that allows him to use that power, but combat log called it Empyrean Laser I want to say. The missiles are physical damage however (which again--not being able to block or parry does not mean something isnt physical, unless someone has some proof to that.

Floor 4: Discord...

Just to clear this up, Discord is the move that is putting the purple icon over a player's head. The 2 sets of 3 fireballs that come out follow that person. As Faytte said, Discord only signifies that the actual tank buster is coming right after. The tank buster itself actually is composed like 3 hits in real quick succession. Maybe one of them is called Empyrean Laser? I'm not sure about that (PS4), but I do know the flying text I always see when tanking that hit is Perpetual Ray. But it's completely possible each attack has a different name. I remember thinking how cool it was that ACT could pick up the 3 elemental dragons names in turn 9. It's like..."aww how cute SE gave these things we never target at all names" lol.
