@asougahara - Watch your distance. Apply pressure. Allow your teammates to work the battlefield. Take away fighting grounds from the enemy team. Occasionally pick off enemies with Telepath. Take an opportunity to Incinerate if you have it and can land it.
@phuket_92 - Yes. But it’s rather difficult to use. It requires them to be in melee range and has quite a start-up animation, leaving them very vulnerable. If you tend to your statues, it’s more likely to intimidate them from trying to do that, and force them to opt for ranged damage to kill the statue.
@Lionly - It’s not a bad idea. You do lose quite a bit of damage but you gain a tremendous amount of survivability, which is fine because most of your pressure doesn’t come from damage rather zoning. Moreover even in full constitution your owls can still melt many enemies in two or three breaths. In ET it’s a little bit more questionable but it depends on your composition more than anything else.
To everyone following this topic, I’ve recently respec’d to a more ET-oriented version of this build. I’ll try to update interesting skills soon, but the short is every single one of the Plague Doctor skills are interesting to take now. I’ve also de-leveled Carve to level one. I miss the damage and convenience of it, and kept it strictly as a multi-hit against structures that only take one damage at a time. I’ve opted for more utility, for ET reasons, since Carve doesn’t really do anything useful in ET outside of that.
In-game, I’ve made some more progress. Completed my Lolopanther Gloves and got a nearly perfect awakening on the first attempt, and in two days will complete my Lolopanther Boots before heading up to 10/F in Earth Tower.
I’ve added another video of one of our more recent Earth Tower runs, which moves us up to the arena for a much faster pace, as well as showcasing fast 3/F and relatively fast 5/F floors. I will add 6/F - 10/F videos once we start going up there in two days time. PvP videos will of course be added, when PvP is relevant. The new video added is using the Earth Tower PD Skill Scheme in one of the new guide sections that was just added.
Notice: I have been tempted to write more guides for certain things and classes I either currently play (e.g. Wugushi, Paladin) or soon to be playing (e.g. Bokor). Or, guides on miscellaneous things like leveling and free warp spots. If you’re interested in me writing a certain guide, please vote [here] or recommend me to write a guide on something as a post. The opening post will include this poll as well. There is no deadline for now.
