So I just did Elron Mission in Palace (78) map with 35k+ Dual Strike....

...and there weren't a chance in hell of killing those totems on time. I have 35k Dual Strike and for nearly 10 of those seconds it's 50K with Vaal Haste (11s) and Atziri's Flask on, yet even with these activated I only got about half way there to killing the three totems.

Are you forced into crit builds or whatever build that deals 100K+ to complete these missions? Are they overturned currently?

My gear:

That should be more than enough to get it done. You made sure to use Whirling Blades to speed between the totems? Not a great comparison, but my 45k Iceshot duelist can do those missions with 25 seconds to spare. Granted range vs. melee, but with WB, you should cut the travel time down to a negligible difference.

Frankly, no clue on why it gave you trouble.

#buffmelee?

that axe tho

I don't know if it has something to do with the map level or Elron level but I've done the mission many times before without problems. The last two attempts at high level maps though have been impossible, however. Elron is close to level 6 (dunnon if that matters).

And yes I've done everything to be as time efficient as possible but as I said I wasn't even half way there when the time ran out. One totem took more time to kill than I take to kill the three Courtyard bosses together.

Were you in party?


in anycases GGG balanced some of the new content for party play for sure and I bet they were thinking at this level you would be one of those legacy 1 zillion dps users.

No party, I always solo.

I had a similar issue once. It wasn't that the relic life was too high, it was that the relic regen was too high for my 25k+ dps build to handle! It's one of the only Elreon missions I've ever failed and it made me go W. T. F.

Did the map have Enfeebled on it?

I've never seen the totems be that hard to kill.

They might have had regen, or increased monster life on map or something.

Sometimes things get a little stacked and it becomes difficult to complete.

Yeah, I haven't done one of those solo in a long time but I've done a few in 76 Elreon zones where I can single-handedly clear the totems for a 6 man party (with about 60k DPS) so it's hard to see 35k not cutting it when doing solo...

Maybe the totems have really high Armor so pure phys attacks are less effective?
