Revenant has a neat theme and some cool skills, but now I am debating between boosting an Elementalist or Necro up. Does anyone have any good recordings of Reaper gameplay? I already have a feel for Elementalist.

Ah yes, I see that the legendary armor precursors are 1) ugly, 2) skintacular on females (and heavily covering on males).

Either way, get ready for lots of white human females in all-black precursor armor with their snow auras and raven staves and names like Vyxsin Nightboobs

Is it the experimental envoy stuff? It's kinda boobtastic for human females, but there are better options out there, and the legs are of course a giant poof of a skirt.

the armor genuinely is disappointing because for the most part it literally just falls into the same boring poo poo that a lot of the other armor sets do. whoever the hell is in charge of design for them is incredibly uninspired.

all the precursors used to be mostly unrelated to the legendaries, but they changed them so that they're practically the legendary versions but without the moving parts and whatnot that actually make them the legendary skins

one can assume the armor will work basically the same way, ie: what we see here will get touched up a tiny bit for the final product and have some sparkly bits slapped on, but will otherwise be the really boring poo poo it already is

The lovely envoy armour that is in game should still have a visually enhanced stage II and then a stage III that is the actual precursor armour that looks like the toned down legendary set. Assuming it hasn't been silently suspended indefinitely and they are waiting for a holiday weekend to break the news.

second boss has a lot going on mechanically and lasts 10 minutes so it's more a matter of paying attention long enough for him to die

Second boss is also pretty buggy so beating him means learning the mechanics well enough to beat him then praying the stupid thing doesn't bug out on you.

Specifically it spawns pairs of adds that fixate on people that you have to pull to the boss and kill, without letting them get close to the other (ie pull one away, pull one to boss). Killing them on the boss strips stacks of a buff, stripping two stacks let's you do some mechanics that let you deal lots of damage to it. The trouble is that the adds randomly won't strip the buff for reasons we can't figure out and think is a bug, and sometimes they will decide to repeatedly change fixate targets over the course of ten seconds or so which makes it REALLY hard to keep them apart if they repeatedly pick targets that will make them run together.

Keep Construct is a very cool boss that's really fun to fight when it's not behaving like a buggy mess. Also the first section of the raid owns bones and is super fun!

Dulfy says that if you complete one of the bandit bounty events with that item in your inventory, a legendary bandit boss spawns at your position and surrounds the area with an impassable wall.

we noticed the fat ghosts (kes named them, it rules) changed fixate targets during the green circle phase right before the soccer match. we're having a bit of trouble with that because you have to cc/kill the goalkeepers but also not let the fat ghosts spawn too much and spawn a red ghost

you can jank your way in and out of that circle if you know what you're doing, or just range the bandit from outside. loot's pretty garbage but it uses the marionette music, which is really cool

While there might be a tiny bit of inconsistency with ripping the stacks off Keep Construct, in my experience most people who whine about it being bugged are just not killing them closely enough. You need to kill them more or less inside its hitbox to be sure. Also, for the fat ghosts during the football phase, just focus them down as soon as they spawn so you don't have to worry about mergers. Have one person assigned to move the core, a few more to CC the goalkeepers and the rest kill the ghosts. My guild killed it last night, but couldn't get past the labyrinth event after it. Imagine Sabrina's gym from Pokémon on nightmare mode, it's awful. Also you really want everyone to have the new mastery for that part.

The first event was OK, but I feel kind of ripped off that we're getting another raid wing with only two bosses.
