We managed to do Kaliban with me hopping in originally as BM but later tempest. We avoided all the trash somehow, and I was disconnecting most of the time which caused a lot of wipes. It went pretty well during the actual fights though and Antaris got away with the BiS belt afaik.

Cleric changes just started rolling out last week, these mage changes have been in the works for well over a month and have gone through many ups and downs. Kervik made a post saying that he is able to shift his attention to clerics now. Even with changes on the pts, I wouldn't expect them to roll out on live for quite some time.

I have a guide in the works for Summerfest Phase 1 of Brevane and Dusken scavenger hunts


RARE COMPANIONS
Unique and adorable critters return to zones across the continent of Mathosia. Catch and befriend up to 11 special companions, from black bunnies to striped prairie dogs and colorful cobras.

Purifiers: The days of lazy shield spamming are going away. A few juicy tidbits from the PTS that weren't mentioned by kervik completely yet, if at all..


Ability: Firewall -- No cooldown
Inflames -- a talent that allows you to place up to 3 firewalls.

Ability: Cauterizing Wave -- No cooldown AoE Cleanse that removes 1 debuff from 10 players.

Ability: Roaring Flames -- The Flamethrowing Healing torrent like ability, heals for meh, in the full relic t2 gear for testing it was healing for 500-600 a tick, guess its an OK splash, nothing fabulous yet

Obviously these are subject to change, and will go through many iterations before hitting live. I think the mages were worked on since pretty much SL launch to get where we were in this last hotfix. Who knows!

I'm using 61 Pyro/9 Archon/6 Harb on the PTS raid dummy without any consumables and the Raid 2 gear + SHoE trinket from the bag (7.1k SP, 80 CP, forgot the SC) if anyone wants to reproduce it.

http://www.rifthead.com/stc/zcNldesfIuusksgqfkvxcMvV is the preferred spec at the moment, I'm really not sure what the rotation is anymore, I can't say I've ever mastered the pyro rotation either.

Summerfest brings rare spawns of friendly-flagged critter npcs that catchable companion pets! There are 11 different companions for you to catch, and they are only here for the duration of the event. When you catch them, you loot a companion pet version of that critter. They are account bound also, so catch more than one at a time if you want to send some to your alts.

Summerfest companion guide & general tips

Catch/trap ability: This is what button pops up when you are near it.



- DO NOT purchase the pet "Twiddle" unless you are lazy and have an excess of badges. Below are coordinates for a mob named "Mini Mordant", the pet you loot from catching it is the pet named "Twiddle", not a reskin not a separate item, the pet you loot is the same as the one on the Summerfest vendor
- DO NOT use your merit badges on the companion boxes unless you have an excess stash and are LAZY, you can get multiples of the same pets, but they are account bound
- Pets spawn every 65 minutes, for example: As of Tuesday, July 10th, the last time pets have spawned was at 7:55 EST. The next spawn will be 9:00, followed by 10:05 and so on. As long as you know the last spawn time, you can keep going off of that
- They are up for only 5 minutes with a timer that starts when someone is in the vicinity of the mob. The mob will start running away very quickly , and the trapping range is very small so having a macro is very helpful
- Multiple pets spawn at the same time and generally in the same spot. Not every pet on the list will spawn at the same time, but rather a few from the list. You might want to have people checking different spots for every spawn time, ready to banner eachother to the locations
- Multiple people can catch the pets, there is no cap as to how many can catch it so don't worry if you see other people chasing it around


Map of spawn locations


Suggested traveling methods: PA teleports and using instant adventures to sometimes place you in areas close to the spawns are good ways to travel quickly to the zones if portals are a bit far

Suggested x,y,z coordinates: You should check these spawns as a priority compared to other marked locations
Spotted Snake - Freemarch: 6568,848,4758
Black Bunny - Silverwood: 6252,847,2853
Brown Rat - Stonefield: 5212,1055,5170
Tamed Deepfang - Gloamwood: 4925,1054,2879
Scoots - Scarlet Gorge: 3871,980,2843
Black Coyote - Scarwood Reach: 3868,1096,4283
Tabby Cat - Moonshade Highlands: 5672,973,1799
Mini Mordant - Droughtlands: 7202,891,6008
White Squirrel - Iron Pine Peak: 3808,1243,1675
Green Cobra - Shimmersand: 6960,917,7278

Getting double weekly and daily summerfest patron login rewards! The once-per-account claiming of gifts is per datacenter, and the US and EU regions use different datacenters. Summerfest login gifts contain 25-50 credits +/-, which are account bound.

What you need to do is change your region at the Launcher->Settings->Region from North America to Europe
Login as normal and select any server
Create a new character
Collect Weekly/Daily patron gifts
Tada, you have credits added to your credit stash.

Found this interesting tidbit yesterday, finally got around to trying it out. It works like a charm. Exploit you say? Daglar acknowledged it, wants to see how the promotion affects the store and said that he may or may not change it.

You are correct. Still up there ahead of everything but Pyro and lock sub-50%. Doesn't help that I'd forgotten that after my last big check of paragon parses they got buffed, so I was going in with a mental note of ~24k when the numbers everyone seems to be supposed to be balanced around now are 25k for melee and 22-23k for ranged.

e: God drat Ahov needs to not be talking about one spec and then parse with another.

Lock is still parsing less than pyro even sub-50% :( It was fun while it lasted. Pyro is super-cooldown managey too, I still haven't figured out the pyro rotation, the guides are super outdated.

I wish I had a ranged spec like inq for spam! Lucky ducks.

We have mages rivalling tac/sabs in aoe DPS in SC but it's a pretty difficult spec to learn and not really worth it just for the trash.

I've found that most trash doesn't live long enough to setup and sustain SC rotation and in t2 trash I'm often stuck domming. I want a mindless spam aoe spec that does hefty sustained dps...y'know like sab. But yeah.. SC, too much buildup and management for the quality of the payoff.

Its looking like the changes to warlock on the PTS will make it viable again. The damage was boosted to be pyro-level without the burst on long parses with that tradeoff being the ability to 'cleave dot' and aoe pretty well. So far there have been no indications of imbalanced dps which is pretty impressive considering it is the first pass. The new goto specs are likely going to be either 61warlock/6harb(blazing light)/9 necro or 61warlock/13 necro/2chloro (withering vine)
