praetorium vs aurum vale

[Tlamila]

Rival Wings. Was doing msq roulette at first but it makes me wanna die, and RW is super fun. I already long gotten everything and now I'm just getting MGP cards.
Also with levelling roulette now you occasionally get dungeons that give some, like Quarn of Cutter's.

Seems like that giant frog aggros anyway. Usually when you’re already engaged with other mobs.

Its a condition/priority system with the roaming mobs...

If the frog is near or a bit past the two shrooms by the entrance, you can either pull both, pull the shrooms, or pull the frog. Never get the frog if its in the middle of the room. Some tanks do that...but itll just aggro everything like dominos.

Aurum vale: 5 minutes run for 5 tomes
Prae: 45-60 minutes run for 10 tomes

Only one that crazy enough choice Prae

How the hell do you even do AV in 5mins

3 BLU, tank suicide, so we only need to kill boss and few malboro to clear the path

[ShariusTC]

I'm not exactly sure why people say tank+3BLU. What does the tank even offer here?

they have defensive CD and can keep aggro better than BLU tank, make a run more smooth, especially when you do tank suicide run, so tank can survive longer until all BLU can run into safe spot and ready to res tank when they are dead, sure BLU tank work and make a run like few second faster but i prefer real tank for this task

AV is a really short dungeon if done properly.
For the BLU specifically, tank suicide pulls, BLUs murder the first boss with Missile. Rez the tank.
Clear the first Morbol room. Tank suicide pulls again. Missile the second boss. Rez the tank again.
Pull everything to the second Morbol room. Freeze everything. Then either clear the room normally or one of the BLUs blows up and kills everything. BLU gets rezzed.
Pull the last pack to the boss room. Kill the boss. Preferably LBSting the last 30-45% (depending on if you have 2 or 3 BLUs being able to do it).
My fastest run was 4:27 i think.

[Tlamila]

Yeah ok BLU and those strategies explain it.
I thought 5 mins a normal run, which no matter how fast you do it I don't think can be that fast ever. (and good luck if pugged)

[Rasikko]

My fastest run with a pug was 12 min(I was the tank). I average about 14 while tanking. It's slower when Im the healer.

That 12 min was the result of on point healing and DPS as well as me trying some interesting pulls. One particular was bringing the scorpion pack in the hall where the germinated marlboros are, aggroing them, burning them down and then tanking both big marlboros, instead of separately.

My fastest run was 11 minutes 15 seconds using an offense specced Squadron. They don't AoE but their single target damage is pretty insane; they melt bosses.

Squadron is definitely the way to go, if you don't have a premade with BLU mages I guess.
