So a group of us tried doing the BMV Ararat last night. We did this as a group of tamers and I'm wondering if anyone else out there does this with a group of tamers or if this is purely Sampire territory?
Since the loot is supposed to be equal to the Roof and acquiring the keys for it takes far less time, we figured it would be a good time.
Sadly a good time it was not!
As I mentioned we did this as a group of tamers. Now being you cannot bring in your own pets, you are forced to tame the crabs that surprise attack you. This is pretty easy and I've had a 100% success rate on first attempt to tame them. Off to a good start right?
We found however the crabs are bugged. The tamed crabs will act as if they are wild and randomly attack other players, yourself, other tamed crabs, it's very annoying. Especially when it attacks you because it will damage you. Beyond that, it's annoying because mid battle your crab is hitting something it shouldn't be, which means it's not damaging the target.
We made the mistake and took all of our crabs to the top deck, a hydra killed all but one of them.... We decided to go into the encounter anyways, figuring the tamers could summon EV's to help the fighter we had in our group.
The one crab that survived the hydras was killed by the boss in the first minute.
The boss will insta dispel your summoned EV's, or maybe it was just insta killing them? Either way they did nothing.
I ran out mid fight and got a new crab. Came back, ran consume on it. Even with running consume, and I'm a true 120/120 tamer so no jewels, I had to heal it constantly. Then. 3 wisps killed me in like 2 seconds. And without my constant heals and consume the crab died immediately. It would have died eventually because I can't run comsume and constantly heal without running out of mana. For the couple minutes it was alive it barely touched the boss. I think maybe a 4% drop in hp.
We had 5 total players for this.
Is this encounter really possible with tamers? What strategies have you used to complete this encounter? Any help would be very much appreciated.
