horrible strategy theorycrafting thread

[Castle2.0]

12 wizards, 1 tank, few clerics, easy Vindi at ZL. This is an actual strategy. 8 giant's bane per wizard. No other melee so rampage doesn't matter. All clerics on hero tank.

Wizards wait for aggro to build up for 1 bane, then zone. Come back in 1 bane, then zone. Come back in 2 banes then zone, come back in 2 more banes then zone, come back in 2 more banes for kill.

This was done, I believe with even less wizards. There was an event recently where the objective was to kill Vindi with as small a crew as possible. Someone who knows better can chime in and say how many it took. (I think it was like 4-6 or something)

Imagine using vindi strats that take 15+ people in 2026

Nah, the event was for the most efficient vindi kill possible, least people in the least time. Winner was like 18 people shredding him down in under a minute.

There have been multiple, the one he is referring to (first time it was done I believe) was just lowest number on the encounter log. It was a single wizard that did all the DPS I don't recall what other support toons they had on the encounter but it was only a few toons total. Probably 2 pets and a cleric to hold agro while the wizard left zone to manastone.

I know which one your talking about, GG did it with 1 warrior, 2 clerics, and a wizard, I think.

Yes, if they suicide to refresh mana or other creative ways like porting to WC, smashing manastone + healpots, then gating back.

Because 216 people you can reliably zerg down anything with a traditional tank/spank setup. Who wants to level 216 60 rangers?

well based on thos enumbers it sounds like idk what with 40-60 youd have enough [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
