where to get it?
I'm glad for people that think this is fun. I'll grant it is extra flavor and something to sink anima powers into; it's also a glorified NPC summon guardian with a couple minor interactions. Not what I think of when I imagine how to freshen up the Choreghast formula. Congrats if you like it, but ya basic.
Does this just not just feel like a copout from Blizzard helping out classes/specs with Anima powers that aren't as strong, instead of just fixing them? I tried this (on DK, why even bother) just to see what it's all about, and on Floor 2 the Beast decided it was going to completely bug out, and caused an entire pack of elites to evade bug and full heal - Great.
All this event did for me was highlight the fact that BM hunters have no Torghast powers whatsoever that directly empower their pet. Oh and if you use animal companion with this guardian it makes it even weaker, because despite multiple years of bug reports that blanket penalty is still a thing.
As a druid, I'd still take Lycara's Bargain. Heck your slow, I'm going to be form dancing anyways by the end of this so the slow gets removed regularly.
For a place that's all about powers that give you exponential DPS and heal gains.... the beasts are seriously underwhelming. Even buffed up with powers, they hit like a wet noodle. Tank pet barely holds agroo, haste pet is basically an ok trinket even with the CD reduction power (if you get it), and I imagine the other pets are about as underwhelming. The event sounded fun, but honestly just comes across meh.
okay but my question is, does it Work with hunter pets, or does it overide hunters pets
At the moment it's really not worth it to ever pick a beast in torghast unless youre *seriously* undergeared, they do about 1/8 the dps of my Unholy DK pet at ilvl 190; seems better to just pick class powers instead whenever offered. The tank pet can't keep agrro and when it does dies within a few hits even with several +hp/dmg buffs and cleave power. Seems rather undertuned.
The beast are not worth selecting as an anima power. They will prevent you from get your op powers during your run through the tower.
I've tried it and wouldn't recommend. The beast does nothing basically except stunning targets and doing minimum damage. It's not very interesting either. Just pick your strong powers it's always better than buffing this complete chode.
Personally, as a squishy Shadow Priest, I am finding this event is making these Torghast runs much easier.Plus, having 3 stacks of the explosion Anima Power on my Tank pet with 200% additional health makes mass pulls a ton of fun.Removed
The silence provided is very good for cloth groups of 2 with one being a healer having an aoe interrupt helps.
That's the thing, I actually enjoy Torghast but I wont waste my time with the event if there's no rewardTheir refusal to put gear rewards in Torgahst because god forbid raidloggers play the rest of the game like in visions in 8.3 is the main reason Torghast isnt as popular, why waste 30 minutes of your life for no reward in an mmorpg where gear is everything and you can only have fun only once you get semi decently geared
The only way they'll get me back into that place is if they force me. It is unbalanced for some classes, there is way to much RNG which makes it not fun.
