A Viper question

[mikarddo]

In Viper the Nagas and the small trash only spawn in a finite small number so off tanking rather than killing is an option.

I wonder if anyone tried the same with the Mist Stalkers? Use lantern but rather than killing it you offtank or kite it. If they also spawn in just a small number and dont get too strong over time that might be interesting as well as require fwer lanterns.

Probably not but I am curious if anyone tried it

Theres a limited amount but they have a "after this point onwards, your raid is gonna be dead" -buff. Each mist stalker is a ticking time bomb.

Edit: next time you go in there, examine the mist stalkers.

Yeah, when I first went in there to test things solo / boxing, I discovered that enemy buff. It's nasty. Stacks multiple times, increases damage until everything one shots everyone.

edit: my first thought was to do exactly that (just tank them away from the circles), which would make it easier to attempt to solo or do multiboxed runs (less things to kill), but alas, no dice. Gotta kill them red names or things go downhill fast.

It is more like the old Reaver's Fate that has a hidden quest timer, when the timer runs out the quest will selfdestruct and wipe in a failure.

As it seems is just a generic counter measure the Devs put in place to limit players taking too long to complete the raid.

Thank you for the replies. I most certainly did not expect it to be possible - but its fun to ask and learn

Was in a R1 PUG the other day, there was enough dps in the party for a smooth run through.
Was also in a semi static guild group a few days earlier that was struggling on hard and needed multiple attempts to get through it.

Too many level 20~25 toons in the group. Been there and done it. Will do it again. Because their guildies
