Makes sense.
Gotta get faster at using my mouse so I can actually read these things.

So, when doing the 2nd Mage boss in WP Hard, I can't find a consistent buff/debuff for the totems. But the colors I noticed were
Light Blue
Blue
Purple
Red
Green.
It should be noted on the first fight we did someone said red gave them Fire Resist down, In the fight we succeeded, the Green totem ALWAYS gave fire resist down, consistently to everyone who walked in one. So It might vary by fight or theres some tell we're missing... But one of the totems will give a Damage buff, and if he reabsorbs it, he gains the buff instead.
Yeah I think it might actually be random, determined at the start of the fight.
So, first round absorb all and determine which one is +damage, then only absorb that one?
I think thats probably the best strategy, and based on my fight it should work like this. Cause while I didnt look as closely, i'm almost positive on the fight with the GreenFireresist totems, the same totem always gave me heavy. So its likely its determined on the first wave which one will be the damage buff one, and from there, you just absorb that one.
When we did WP we wiped because the tank ended up hitting the reds which gave fire damage taken+, same thing on retry. The blue ones gave damage dealt+ both times, also after the wipe the random pickup told us it was blue not red for damage+, so I think it's not random, just initially misreported here.
Hmm I'll update for it to be random as I firmly remember picking up red and then hovering mouse over buff to see damage up
The most important thing is though, if in doubt, just dodge them all and you'll still win, the fight will just be 1 or 2 mins longer tops lol
Last night we did expert roulette, got WP and it was the light blue color that gave damage+
Yeah redid it again today and the green ones weren't toad, ran thru to cancel toad from him casting it and got nothing. There was also one other switchup, I forget what. Best to just skip em except to try curing toad status.
Eh, I think the damage buff is worth it to just try to figure out the colors at the beginning of the fight.
That's okay to do only if you have good enough DPS. Since if the boss sucks the totems back in and the damage up totem is still in there, he gains a stack of damage up and it's pretty potent.
I think the best way is to just try all 3 in the beginning, figure out which one is damage up, and alternate DPS picking it up. The color that doesn't appear is the toad totem. I also heard that if the same DPS picks up the damage up totem twice in a row, the boss frogs them the next time totems go out.
Yeh me, Gulkeeva and Octopus were discussing it just now and talking about how he sucks it back, which I did notice but I never noticed it granted him the buffs as during my attempt we figured the damage one out early and ate that instinctively. Will adjust.
I did WP HM last night and can confirm the colors are random. For my group Red = Toad and Green = DMG+ buff.
If you do wipe, the colors won't change either.
The 1st set looks to be there more or less to see what is the dmg buff. Not sure if Toad pops in the 1st set or not. After you know the colors of the rest you know it though.
Also whichever one just gives heavy isn't much of a detriment to pick up, esuna-able and if the same person picks it up the 2nd/3rd time duration is halved each time as per normal debuff rules.
Anybody know if Caster LB works inside Cerberus? Or does it hit the roof and get wasted?
wut
Can't tell if serious or not. Hoping for the latter cus damn.
/shrug bored and nobody uses LBs in WoD except on the last boss.
There are places the caster lb won't actually go off, like in the tunnels in Dzemael Darkhold.
Mostly just curious.
If serious, it works.
