Ura LCM again with [VL] Tryhard Degens & friends | QFB Jokuc 2025-07-19 | So we killed again. I'm a bit disappointed cause anet has nerfed the fight really hard and it's very noticeable, but it is what it is. The two qfbs had different jobs, I had stability and helped the vindicators with titanspawners, the other fb stacked boss and took wall of reflection for more reflects in p4.log: https://dps.report/b1jB-20250719-221808_uraof course we kill the pull where my p1 is giga ass, I cancel skills and I get stunned by cone :^)

The remaining 300 dps gained over previous bench comes mostly from the fact that using sh4 now covers the few seconds of firework downtime in the opener, lol. I hope anet can buff sh4 even more so it actually feels impactful cause gravedigger spam is still almost as strong.

Ura CM Legolas edition (or how we forgot to do mechanics and love pew pew) Jokuc 2025-06-22 | Log: https://dps.report/lHlf-20250621-203659_uraDisclaimer: This was just a funny side project when we noticed Ura is limited to 1500 vision and you can thus attack from 1501 range without making Ura use any abilities. This is clearly not intended behavior and we have reported it already.Our strat is simple, but quite finicky because it requires high precision to execute. First, Ura needs to be positioned at an exact location by chaining a series of jumps. Then, we port out of range when the boss is in position. We make our way into the spot that allows us to hit Ura without her seeing us. At exactly 70.4% hp I walk into aggro range of Ura to bait her jump so we can cancel it, which allows us to skip toilet. The others run away because Ura gets extra range for the brief moment she starts to jump. Meanwhile, the chronos deal with the geysers and occasionally come to stack to cc ura with the help of stealth.Sounds easy, but in reality most groups would be able to kill it normally multiple times spending the same amount of time we spent trying to get this shit to work out, and the kill is of course really slow so it is very much just a meme. The setup at 70% took particularly long to figure out and get right consistently and overall attempts is 100+.Two bugs are at play here:1) When Ura uses Propel and self-interrupts at 70%, Ura can bug out and not cast Return.2) Ura has a 1500 aggro range, but since some skills can hit just a tad bit further, you can hit Ura while Ura isn't doing anything.What we learned from this project:1) 70% Return is always cast, even when no one is in Ura's aggro range2) Ura can aggo on both pets and clones if they target Ura3) The transition at 40% doesn't do anything (which was kinda expected, because nothing special happens there except Ura starting to cast bubbles, but as no one is in range, Ura doesn't do that)4) At 1%, the first Titanspawner always spawns, even if no one is in range. It is a separate skill from the usual Create Titanspawn Geyser cast form Ura.If you want to check out our Ura LCM kill (not using this obviously) find it here:youtube.com/watch?v=J5zNxbxZInI

[VL] Ura Legendary CM + tunneling | Quickness Firebrand (pre-nerf) Jokuc 2025-05-12 | log: https://dps.report/njvQ-20250511-172257_ura3rd kill in EU, 5th in the world. We are currently the only team that has killed Ura LCM after the patch that nerfed cmech and thorns relic. The boss now gains +1 extra minute on timer in phase 4 but I would argue the fight is harder than before due to the fact that you will spend more time in the other phases cause of the nerfed damage and thus get more geysers + stacks on the boss, as well as having to spend more time in the deadly P4 keeping up reflects. Our best try before the patch was 12% phase 4.(Vindi) Asterion: youtu.be/aPo7DxdCUAM(Vindi) Parnie: youtu.be/RTSKctjXjfY(Venti) Jan: youtu.be/XdbnUzk2knc(cMech) Alex: youtu.be/-C8RKl_mlm8(cMech) Asterius: youtu.be/MxRcVy4A8vc(cMech) Rainer: (qFb) Jokuc: (That's me)(celeScg) Bear: (coming soon)(hChr) Henne: youtu.be/xwhIjdZv0SY Tunnel Speedrun Any%: youtu.be/8OnwuRXC5NE(hChr) Minas: youtu.be/HEz9N3Ivb_o00:00 Tunneling 03:12 Phase 1 (100% - 70%)05:18 Phase 2 (70% - 40%)07:22 Phase 3 (40% - 1%)10:20 Healed (40% - 0%)

Gear adjusted for Night Sigil instead of Accuracy but note that it is daytime, Flesh Golem not used, Greatsword 5 not used, Stat Infusions not used so people without them have a reference (with infus it's about 37.2k).

(don't compare the dmg in these two vids, I had infus in the safe rota vid and it's somewhat sloppy in that vid)

Harvest Temple CM World Record (6:56) | Power Virtuoso Jokuc 2024-11-16 | World's first sub 7 min HTCM kill, and new world record.log: https://dps.report/aRWD-20241115-225233_voidTo make this possible we had to make some major changes in order to beat our previous WR of 7:14. First, we used only pvirt for dps due to how strong it is at the moment. All the virtuosos took Phantasmal Defender to put Taunt on the boss, which significantly boosts the damage for all the virts. We also took chrono for alac dps which in this setting ourperforms a herald. The main unique thing for our strategy in this run is the Heal Quick Catalyst, which is able to provide 10 man boons for the full squad by splitting everyone up into two different stacking spots. This allowed us to take another pvirt for even more damage. The last bits of optimization we did was to stay inside primordus bite and distort to squeeze in additional damage, and port out with an additional portal placed in the middle of the hitbox. Zhaitan was also sped up by porting directly into the greens to minimize dps downtime, which was possible because we had 2 portals unlike the previous record.There were a few mistakes from some of us here and there so this could be improved even more down to maybe ~6:45 if executed perfectly. This was however our last pull for this patch.Squad (PoVs):(Virt) Florian: youtube.com/watch?v=Z7_UeRMqw5o(Virt) Jokuc (that's me)(Virt) Rickz: youtube.com/watch?v=g8Z6zkNWuME(Virt) Seekin: youtu.be/NT2S_bxB7JA(PortalVirt) Airen: youtu.be/1iXg6IlvZCE(PortalVirt) Henne: youtu.be/IFAGNol3mug(Venti) Asterion: youtu.be/1WQO0pjffoE(AlacChrono) Dur: youtube.com/watch?v=Sx2BYdotvew(AlacMech) Asterius: youtube.com/watch?v=0O3qIxW1f20(HealQuickCata) Minas: youtu.be/7-G4Cn86uZ0

Heal Firebrand Guide | Silent Surf - Kanaxai (How to 100% quickness) Jokuc 2024-07-14 | In this guide we will look at how you can keep up quickness in silent surf, a fight with a lot of spread mechanics that makes it tricky for fb to keep up boons (which is very evident since I've never seen anyone else keep 100% on this boss). People getting their boons stolen, people not stacking, and taking 5 years doing islands are things that will fuck up your uptime, but as you can see even in this run I had quite low alacrity uptime and still managed just fine.In the video I use the traits Loremaster and Honorable Staff, but you should probably use Stoic Demeanor and Empowering Might instead for better might uptime. If you take Sanctuary instead of regen mantra you can keep Loremaster since you'll be spamming F2-3 for regen.log from this run: https://dps.report/8Sbt-20240714-141746_kanaaka How to not make pugs wish they had a heal qherald

[UNIT] Embodiment of Sin (ToF CM) (Pre-Nerf) | Condition Scourge Jokuc 2024-05-24 | this is pre-nerf.https://dps.report/w8wB-20240523-234839_cerusTo the best of our knowledge this is the first Embodiment of Sin kill without Condi Deadeye and the fourth group overall. We wanted to do something different and started theorycrafting a Necro (+1 Chrono) strat shortly before NA got the world first kill. Initially we had 2x qHarbingers, but eventually switched one to celeAlacScg for some additional healing, since the dps cost was negligible. We used 1x HealChrono who had full portal utils to take care of all Portals for Malice spawns. We dealt with Malices by using the Immobilize of Necro Dagger 3 on Cerus and then Epidemic on all Scourges to spread Immob. Alternating Epidemics in Sub1/2 allowed to essentially perma Immobilize Malices. We slowly killed them via damage by placing Shades on them and via the Condis transfered by Epi. The movement/portal placements was dictacted by where we wanted to place Despair pools. Portals where for the most part placed to utilize longer Malice pathing. Scourge Portals and Despair placement followed naturally on the East/North sides of the arena, because of the Envy Walls. For Phase 4, we specifically changed one Portal to use it after the first Gluttony to the Northwestern edge of the arena. This allowed us to completely outrange the second Envy Wall from the add.povs:(Scg) REMagic: youtu.be/qwGuVtH0imw(qHarb) Jan: youtu.be/E8E41uVeP_Q(celeScg) Minas: youtu.be/l0TsyS59Nto

Some of the malices are ported out to the edge where we know we can phase before they reach the boss. The strategy has been polished a bit since last time we showed it off in regular CM (youtube.com/watch?v=3ICmufKYfVs) , but there's probably still a few optimizations to be made.Heal Chrono pov: youtu.be/OA3tzmAsea0
