Exactly, preserving Unsealing Charms is key. What you should do is:So as someone who hasn't hit 45 yet, what should be my progression now? Can I skip a few soul shield sets? I'm mostly trying to preserve my unsealing charms if I don't need to use them.
FUCK THAT. FOR WHAT PURPOSE?Has anyone fucked with Blackwyrm since the patch? Enjoy his extra 30 million hp now :^)
Yeah I hadn't even thought of that. I'm running into a problem where all my soul shields are infused with crit so everything I get is a downgrade on crit unless it's both a perfect roll and I infuse it. So my soul shield is all fucked up atm.Exactly, preserving Unsealing Charms is key. What you should do is:
Level 20: Viridian Hero Soul Shield (trade Viridian Valor Stones to get it)
Level 33: Pinchy Soul Shield (outside of Yehara's Mirage to the northeast)
Level 40ish: Lycan Soul Shield (from the Lycan boss in Moonwater Plains)
Level 43ish: Profane Jiangshi (Orchard of Souls)
Level 45 T1: Blackram Supply (also knowns as Poharan)
Level 45 T2 (PvE): Bloodshade Harbor
Level 45 T2 (PvP/Tanking): Endless Tower (floors 1-7 of Mujin's Tower)
I would skip the Moonwater Arena Soul Shield since we have Mujin's Tower now.
FUCK THAT. FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
only problem is i could really use the upgrade item for my weapon now ughYou can, you just have to Windstride there and walk in.
Are his drops all trivial now or something? Probably not.There's no reason to make him harder. It feels disingenuous, are they going to increase his loot quality to match now? Probably not.
Half the fun of getting more powerful is going back and being like "wow remember when this took 20 minutes?"
Zen Beans gains is half as much as my clanmates thought it would be. Less than 100 per win at Gold rank.His ring is still extremely good and the gems. Not sure how the soulstone market is.
Yea, instead they should give him 4k hps and have him die like a normal mob. People should be able to just solo him every 15 minutes all day long. It's not really "old content" when the game hasn't even been out for a full month yet............................................... .................................................Are we really defending adding 30 million hp to a mob that already took no skill outside of tanking? It doesn't make this encounter more challenging, it just increases the time commitment to do what you've already been doing.
The loot is fantastic but I stand by the fact that old content getting easier as you grow in strength is a hallmark of gaming in general and mmos especially. I don't see the logic in it.
Considering power increase, the time commitment will either be the same or even faster then before. And I wouldn't consider something that still holds BiS gear "old content".Are we really defending adding 30 million hp to a mob that already took no skill outside of tanking?
