ImiHey :3 This is our vMoL WR run from 22d July with Rakhat 2d platform nuke. I played a support Sorcerer DD in Roaring Opportunist, providing Major Slayer buff to our awesome DDs. I don't normally play DPS so my performance is not as good as it should be (and we were only here for two raids) - but it was fun experience and I'm glad I got a chance to try it :) Thanks for watching!

I really enjoyed the dungeon so decided to make a little guide in a free time :)[Stress Tested | PC EU] Necromancer solo healer Nahviintaas HM [Deadlands]Imi2022-03-13 | I did not record our best score this patch, but here is decent-ish fight from my perspective. Its not perfected as I only got like 6 tries of that but it contains a very interesting idea, shoutout to @KaterMD for it :3
Setup: Powerful Assault/Master Architect/Pearls of Elnhofey/Symphony of Blades
Tasks: Empower/Minor Berserk/PA/BIG ULTIGEN for big major slayer and big vulnerability/Taking timestops
Combination of PA with Pearls is quite fun to play as it opens a good reason to have a stamina-based healing ability in rotation and therefore easy Pearls proc even on 0 or close to 0 magicka. Idea is to let a Necro DD to use Destro ultimate by me using Colossus at the start of every boss phase, making sure Major Slayer duration covers whole boss phase and every trash phase instead of generating 500 ult for the start of every boss phase. It worked out here, but might be somewhat problematic on a much faster fight. Keeping up all 3 uptimes - Minor Berserk, Empower and PA turned out to be a challenge, and they are not good, but acceptable - still something to improve, as always - I had 2 raids of practice with this ult rotation only.
SIlver Leash was slotted for fire atros chaining but not used cause I proved to be too busy for it. Was removed in later attempts.
Feel free to ask additional questions in the comments, if anything is unclear. Thanks for watching!

This was our past raid of the patch, and with improving our previous scores and performance. My role is nothing overly special, but I"m generally satisfied with the run. We got our best times here, and this is mostly DDs playing extremely well. Logs are private, but I am happy to answer questions.
I had couple of changes compared to previous listed full run in setup, casts and skills:
Trash: Saxhleel/Master Architect/Pearls Trashpack before Vrol: Master Architect/Arkasis/Pearls Tasks same as before - generate a lot of ult and do Major Force/Slayer for most pulls Was not very good between Yandir and Vrol cause I did not manage to dump Magicka fast enough. Proxy is there just for giggles and Blastbones for extra corpse to suck. Not really needed but why not.
Yandir (1:49) and Vrol (4:42): Olorime/Master Architect/Symphony Tasks: mostly focus on empower and a bit extra ultigen from corpses thanks to 2 Kinras in group and Valencer for reliable Minor Berserk
Falgravn (7:55): Saxhleel/Worm/Encratis Tasks: focus on empower and generally healing

This is a piece of our recent score run, I dont think I recorded a full one. Gameplay in the rest of the trial did not really change, except me now wearing MA on side bosses instead of a DD, but cast-wise it remains same.
The fight is nothing special itself, just slightly cleaner than previously in Waking flames patch, with better focus on empower because of whole one Kinras (thanks Clive) and Valen (OT-heal) focusing more on prayer and also no sweat with pearls and no messed up positioning compared to older run, which made this much easier to do.
Setup: Saxhleel/Worm/Encratis

Here we had only one dedicated healer (me) and some off-heals from OT with Echoing Vigor and Extended Ritual.
Active tasks: kiting jumps, collecting ice, keeping up minor berserk and empower. Thanks to Clive who helped with berserk by wearing the only Kinras in group like a true chad. I'm pretty sure more experienced people on that role would do a better job uptime-wise, especially with empower but it is what it is in 11 raids of practice panic and then again practice. Also last update of Srendarr broke empower tracking completely and I'm being blind to other addons.

Ofc run wasn't ideal, neither was my gameplay cause I threw a run just before and was tilting, also first boss reset twice. Choice fell on a sorc heal this time - because of great survivability toolkit for Hunters-Killers nuke and poor performance of sorc DD on bosses where AOE matters.
Logs are no longer public but I"m happy to answer questions
I'm healing on 1/4/5 bosses and dps on 2/3 while out Off-tank is healing on necro. Did some mistakes here and there, mostly satisfied with first boss and probably personal worst 3d :D But we still got the nuke so no big deal.

Setup: Saxhleel/Master Architect/Pearls of Elnhofey/BRP resto My tasks here, except healing the tombs and the group is also providing Major Force and Major Slayer for each full boss phase along with Empower and Off-Balance. All of that possible with several DDs using Kinras to cover Minor Berserk uptime so only casts I have to worry about during the boss phases are HoTs, Empower, skill for my Corpse Consumption passive and burst heals for the tombs. We did not have extra adds on some phases, so my ultigen was lower than usual - but still more than enough to cover boss phases. On the beam phase I am also relying on DDs being smart and shielding up when needed.

Setups: Trash and Falgravn: SPC/Sax/Pearls Yandir and Vrol: SPC/Worm/Symphony
On trash and first 2 bosses I did not do anything special, and to keep good Empower without Jorvulds I had to reduce my skill bars to a bare minimum. Falgravn is probably the most interesting fight - my task was to cover as much Major Force as possible with Saxhleel, while still providing Empower and healing. First floor focus was on purely ultigen for Colossus and Barriers on line mechanic and keeping up SPC with occasional empower, and 2d and 3d floor just uptiming (wasn't good with fucked up positioning but it was too late to move when I realised because of hemmorage). I did not play this particular fight as well as I used to, messed up my opener and second floor, and total ulti gain from pearls was only 730ish while normally I had over 900 ult from it - however still 45% of total major force is covered by me and I'm happy about it.
Please read the description too, it contains additional information about clips provided in a video!
During my last and unfinished RG progression as Ro/Jo healer with ST I've experienced wide spectrum of dying from stupid until I did it right. Figured I'll make a compilation of things which were fixed on the fly and good things with a bit of explanations to help healers and their raidleaders on the early stages of RG HM progression.
If you're looking for another healer PoV with catching first charge - Stiles has several excellent examples.
Setup used: Roaring Opportunist + Jorvulds Guidance + Symphony of Blades (all jewelry arcane) with access to Major Expedition via Wings and Minor Expedition via Quick Siphon and Celerity CP slotted. Icky used Charging Maneur in her runs for both. Probably its possible to drop minor expedition and use swift. It is only applicable for 2d charge, because roar is shorter and timing is less forgiving. First charge kiter can have less speed and still be fine. Best time to start moving for the second charge is when boss already finished first charge and just starts roaring, even possible to do slightly before it locks onto you if group is still far from you to not risk it.
00:00 intro 00:32 theory and interaction of charge with other mechanics 01:56 correct positioning as group healer 02:14 unintended first charge because greedy for RO proc 02:28 unintended first charge because of delayed cleansing 02:41 acceptably good 2d charges 03:09 bad second charges (being slow) 03:39 being too fast is deadly too (credit to Icky) 03:55 overlap of meteors with charge 04:06 position swap with your healer partner in execute
A little explanation about the last clip - with our positioning everyone who is staying on the middle line between entrance and exit door is a potential poison target, and if there are more than 2 people targetting is random. Poison is targeting people furthest away from their closest available for cleansing pool, so when its 2 up on exit its middle line and when only one left its furtherst away from that one. Healers are supposed to get it and I should have cleansed, but DD got it and DDs have priority to cleanse.
Special thanks to: @Chaos'Knight - for being my healer partner @ickypiggy and @stileanima - for advices and sharing their experience @nogetrandom - for help in figuring exact values for charge @Valencer - for help with testing and patience while doing it and my friends for mental support while creating this.

Another video, another progression - attempt on 0 portal nuke with a decent time and score. It was a very steep learning curve for me with quite a lot of changes every couple of raids (and 10 raids in total), so I still did handful of mistakes and wish we had more attempts but decided to post nonetheless. (Looking back at it I played really bad here lol so please don't spam clap heal if you want to play the same role - edit at 07-02-2022)
Setup: Martial Knowledge (front barred)/Master Architect (back barred)/Pearls of Elhnofey/Troll King Among usual tasks I keeping up Minor Breach and Crusher on main boss as main tank was responsible for Minor Brittle
Note, I was playing with HideGroup addon to be able to see mechanics - as currently Templars ability Extended Ritual is utterly broken - brightness is so overtuned that you won't notice the difference between a white sheet on the screen and CR templar POV. To have an idea where group is I also used PlayerSupportIcons. Should say, my uptimes probably suffered a bit due to that but I could not find the other way to play with a bug.
Hope you enjoyed the video!

Nothing fancy, just another one of our recent HoF fights. Usually its a healer position, but in this progression we had OT off-healing on AG, so my tasks changed quite a bit, and here I am doing brittle, Z'en, MK and keeping Minor toughness and Major resolve on a group. Setup here is not perfected for Z'en as I'm only running 4 dots + flame glyph - got asked to keep wings and Expansive Cloak just to be safer on last day - so ideally wings would be replaced with Frost Reach. No Fetchers was used because we also had a Warden DD and I took it off my bars to not compromise his DPS, even tho usually we had no overwrites. Playing with Z'en is a bit tricky on this boss because I have no space for spammable and single-target dots trigger feedback, when boss is in the middle - so the safest way I found is only trigger Barbed trap once per phase, and other dots maximum twice, and stop casting them as his right arm falls off. After that just do shalks + unstable wall spam. As you see sometimes I still had to dodge feedback, and have 2 dots running on boss is still somewhat safe, but 3-4 can easily kill. On terminal phase I wasn't really doing damage to adds, mostly trying to place dots on highest health target and Consuming Trap on targets close to dying - sustain even with parse food was a bit rough) After terminal dies preplaced Scalding Rune and spammed Barbed trap to get my stamina low so I can proc MK right as I'm up in position without waiting for boss to come or having to dodge/bash.
Thanks for watching and hope it will be helpful to someone)[vHoF] Hunters-Killers full burn mashup Warden Kite healer [Blackwood]Imi2021-07-09 | Hey! In a recent Stress Tested vHoF runs I had a bit of learning experience as a kite healer on a full burn of that boss, and it is more challenging that it might seem, so I decided to post a couple of successful and failed fights - maybe someone will find it somewhat useful. I wasn't recording consistently, and experimenting a lot with setups and bars, and sometimes even forgetting about some buffs, so it is not meant to be an example of "how to do this fight right", more just another PoV for people to draw their own conclusions.
0:00 - first clean fight 0:57 - second clean fight 1:53 - how my actions led to a wipe
As a permanent kiter you're not contributing to purge as much as you would do in a normal burn boss by boss, simply due to range limitations. I worked out some kind of movement pattern - moving out to give myself more reaction time and movement space to avoid being hit by cascade if they are crossing each other, if bosses were a bit too far apart which sometimes happens if they drop too much lightning pools so tanks have to move, and moving back in to purge, place Olo circle and cast other buffs. Cascades are not synced in time, so its important to get a feeling how much time you have between them from first two - luckily group does not require too much attention except crucial buffs there (an example of failed time estimation is wipe at 1:53). Another probably unpopular opinion - it is important to also keep a hot running on yourself if you feel like you're taking too much damage as main priority is still kiting charges and surviving few shalks if they target you, and buying as much time as possible. Of course, surviving 3+ shalks is extremely hard and not worth speccing into, but surviving 1-2 should not be an issue and not worth a reset. Worth saying, that kiting shalks in is dangerous and you should be 100% sure in when you do that so cascade doesn't go in group. It seems counter-supportive and wrong, but trying to be too useful and stay closer more, and keeping all healing just in group usually got me killed. So unless you have a lot of raid days or do not care about progression speed I recommend to keep more than just Combat prayer once in few seconds on yourself.
I guess thats it, and hope it will be helpful to someone in the future.A normal raid with CurryImi2021-07-09 | This video has strictly nostalgic value of best learning raids )))Its all about stacks [Stress Tested MoL Pepega]Imi2020-08-16 | Short story about nice stacks.

10:11 trial time
This is our second try in vMoL this patch, this time 35 seconds faster. I played the same role with few little tweaks in skill setups and trash setup (even tho its not yet on needed level) - so it was just a little bit more experience here as a DD and RO user.
Should say that I really dislike sorc as class for RO cause even in RO/MS you're still very dependant on crit chance on low stacks - which makes Major Slayer uptime unpredictable.
Destro on Twins is used in a weird moment cause earlier it was Warhorn and I did not really find a way to get ult back before boss even with ult pots and it wasn't worth it to change it for few last tries, but I'm glad to use a damage ult :3

This Sunday, 2.08 we got quite a nice score in Halls of Fabrication so I decided to post my PoV. This was end of the raid so some brainlag and emotional play involved for me personally, especially after I nearly died on first boss - but I'm still happy with the result we got as a team. 14:30 trial time is totally possible here. I am solo healing all trash and most bosses, with some help from Alex (our RO support) on first boss and Valencer (OT) on last.
Some CMX parses were lost cause I didn't save them immediately after - but I'll replace them with logs screenshots. Full logs are private but feel free to ask questions. Main task on bosses was keeping Olo/MK/PotL/2d Crusher. Some fights were alright, some worse than average - but this is something "to be improved" in the future. Here are all my setups/debuffs: imgur.com/a/yMW1V4Q
This is the first video I managed to make during Stress Tested runs. Usually, we would get achievements and scores after my hope would die and I'd stop recording. The run is not perfect as it was the last try of the night, and we all had our brainlag moments, but we still managed to get a score - so good job, everyone, and I'm glad to be a part of this amazing team.
Some things in my own gameplay are still to be improved, but we're done with KA for now, so I'll leave it until the next time. And I totally forgot to clean up UI and reset addons after BRP earlier this day *hides* Setups used in trial: imgur.com/a/q6N2mai
