Mad King Realm is pure win! Act 2 is great so far, already gotten some exotics from champion chests, the puzzle is ridiculous and it feels like a fairground ride everyone waiting to go.
In case people aren’t already aware, Act 3 is having a one-time only event on Sunday, October the 28th at 12:00 PM Pacific Time/19:00 GMT. I haven’t seen where, but I would imagine Lion’s Arch.
Yo this jumping puzzle… fuck!
I feel you bro, I feel you.
I’ll third that, at first I liked it, now I want to throw my keyboard out of the window, so much rage… Fuck Halloween, I’m going back to WvW… (I’ll try again tomorrow).
I actually got the damn thing a few hours ago. It’s not too hard but you have to be fast and precise with your jumps. 1 or 2 small fuck ups and you’re done.
So is it just me or does burning damage scale poorly?
At 300 condition damage it does 482 damage, but at 1538 condition damage (this is with 9 stacks of might from juggernaut and +might duration runes) it does 712 damage. You can’t stack intensity on it (understandable as the base damage is much higher than other conditions but 2 stacks of burning would be nice) but if you can do 10+ stacks of bleeding and sustain it (which isn’t hard at all in PvE) that seems to drain their HP much faster.
it seems like for burning duration is good
imho condition damage is underwhelming in general, i tried it and have the gear (like over 1k cond. damage unbuffed) but direct damage seems to get the job done faster
EDIT: like this!
Mad King’s Clock Tower is easy! If you can’t do it, you might as well uninstall the game you scrubs! WWAHAHAHHAHAA I DID IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW
Honestly though… It isn’t that hard unless you have some fat fuck Norn or Charr in your way. That is the most annoying part because you can’t see where your character actually is a lot of the time.
This is why I fail and this is why I just will not bother with it. Hopefully as the event draws to a close, it’ll bring smaller numbers and I can actually see where the fuck I’m going. It gets better as you go up because the herd thins out, but you can waste a lot of valuable time waiting for the first timed wall break when the dias area is stuffed full of Eric Cartman Beefcakes.
How long did you spend doing it before getting it three times in a row?
Like 45 minutes… Telling you man, find one with no Charr or Norn and you’ll be good. The whole fucking time to the top, there was a fat fuck Charr with his backpack right on top of me. It was so annoying.
I finished it after about an hour of trying, fat people weren’t the problem for me though; it was the warriors casting swiftness.
New event is pretty good for farming, 5 exotics in 7 runs, 3 not worth noting, but I got a Mad Moon and Mad King Crown, the shield is awesome.
0 exotics in ~10 runs. Best drop so far is 5 Fine Transmutation Stones.
best i’ve gotten was a black lion salvage kit
the loot isn’t too great (mostly greens and some odd items off the gem store), but the event is good for farming because it’s a 5-6 minute run if your whole group is glass or heavyarmorarmy
I don’t know what it is, but I’m having crazy luck with MK runs, had about 10 exotics now, people in my group are really starting to hate me! No MF whatsoever.
3 exotics out of 7 runs. Level 76 to 78. Runs get boring After a while but its good farming. tbh i just want to get a ween exotic so i dont have to do these runs anymore.
If anyone got MK items and skins they didn’t want to keep, I’d recommend you keep hold of them for a while, the Mad Moon shiled doubled as soon as MK dungeon became unavailable.
I don’t think it makes a difference, we took a level 6 Mesmer who couldn’t get a party and they had an exotic Berserker of Rage mask for light armor drop in the chest.
For those that didn’t know, were not sure, or wanted some solid facts on MF and chests :

I really wish I could get a big female norn with T3 human cultural armor :love: .
Think again, it’s being heavily speculated that MF doesn’t affect chests at all, only mob drops, ergo MF is useless on Jormag, Shatterer, anything that drops a chest.
