After yesterdays trip on Beta, I decided to get some helpful tips from some friends (and friend's friends) to see what I can do to make it a better trip.
This is what I've gathered, if you have anything to add - feel free to, or if you would like to correct me, please do so as I'm not a major at Vorago.
What to keep in mind:
- Reflect/debilitate does the same thing, reflect works 100%
- Magic base-tank is best (for DPS and tanking wise) [source: C Mitch]
- I am learning how to base-tank, so these notes are relevant to people who understand how to base-tank.
~~
P1: Luring, jumping, gymnastics ~ (dual-wield/shield not necessary/free heal at the start)
- Don’t stand too far from the jumper, close enough that jumper can provoke it correctly. Once lured, stand behind Vorago and SS/DPS it till ~20k and provoke it back. IF Vorago turns to base tank, melee protect.
- Build adrenaline for devotion (melee) then dual-wield DPS.
- 3 provokers is best. (1-2), (3-4), (5). Base tank: 1(freedom) +2(surge/escape). *counting helps!* [source: Zachkk]
- Resonance AFTER red bomb after (2).
- Devotion (melee)>reflect (lower taken damage)>barricade.
- Lure to gravity field (ball).
- You are too far away from Vorago if you cannot attack him (melee DPS)
~~
P3: Deadly minions + more minions (tanking minions: shield required)
- keep each minion the far from each other (DO NOT TANK BOTH MINIONS AS IT WILL RESULT TO DEATH), with the same amount of DPS on each one.
- Attempt to kill both at the same time otherwise the “left-over” one will mass DPS.
- Bomb tank stands directly SOUTH of Vorago and DPS.
- Devotion (melee)>reflect (lower taken damage)>barricade.
Fun fact: If you stand on the L on the ground, you are likely to get the drop.
P4: Deadly instant KO waterfalls (shield required)
- If you stand *behind* Vorago (missing waterfall corner), you will take half the damage dealt on you. [Source: Sonic]
- Vorago special attack (explosion) hits for 10,000 HP, if you have over 10K HP during the explosion, you will live. [source: Man Killa/Joffrey)
- If a “clone” of yourself appears, protect the attack style you are using as it will attack using that style
- Ultimate smash happens on this phase (1-2) (3-4) (5)
- Resonance AFTER red bomb after (2).
- Devotion (melee)>reflect (lower taken damage)>barricade
P5: Hammer the eye OR instakill! (dual-wield)
- No base tank is required for this phase, everyone must DPS. Unless melee tank, I don’t know what you do if you melee tank. :D
- If you get triple bleed (1-2-3), freedom the first one, run back towards the bomb-tank to free the second then "surge" into Vorago to free the last bleed. If you are 8 squares AWAY from Vorago, it cancels the bleed. [Source: C Mitch]
- Devotion (melee) will be extremely helpful.
- Bomb tank stays behind everyone, near the edge but within Vorago-zone
- Jumper will always be the person to hammer Vorago (because the jumper would have already had the first armour piece)
- Jumper makes the hammer and base-tank will hammer Vorago. [source: Man Killa/Joffrey]
