Thread: My review of patch 3.3 (Not for the Honesty)

Did you fail to notice the pretty sizable haste buff the fans give and the fact they launch you to predetermined points based on where they die?

I have had tanks that abused the fans to make speed runs faster by using big pulls in those early rooms to position to get launched to the other mobs guarding the door so that they do not have to run and instead instantly chain pull, and DPS that abused the haste buff to kill even faster and catch up to the tanks.

Why not just pull all of them including the ones guarding the door and burst them down and kill the enemies in an order to use the fan buff accordingly? I actually didn't know about that buff to be honest, hard to notice when its only in that first part of the dungeon for hp soaking enemies that don't really require going quickly when killing them.

Depends on how good the healer is.

In general what I see is everything gets pulled up to the melia and burned, then hit the fan which plants you down next to the next fan where you pull it to the group guarding the door. Often times the fan dies pretty quick so you can hit it to refresh the haste buff, since it sends you right to the door (which it's right next to) there is no running to get back to where you should be. This also lets you enter the first boss with a ~10-15% haste buff.
