I had fun with this event. I finally got around to doing normal Torghast layers 7 and 8 with this, and it was a breeze. You definitely need to start off first using your normal character until you acquire a few powers for this form, though. Runs may seem slow at first, but they will definitely start to pick up speed once you acquire about 2-3 powers for the form.
If you came here trying to decide if you should pick this path, or just play through your Torghast like normal this week ... DO THE CHORUS. It's a ton of fun and you do a ton of damage. Even solo.The anima powers you'll pick up give your abilities lower CD/extra charges/speed boost/self-heal. If you pick up all the anima powers, you'll be unstoppable by floor 6.I don't know that my run necessarily went "faster" (Vengeance DH - already "OP" for Torghast) ... but it was a nice change of pace and I very much enjoyed it. Made Torghast feel like less of a chore.
this $%^& is so bad lmao. 5k dps with full traits. I can do more DPS playing my character with 0 traits.
Neat. I think they should add soul ash rewards for TC :D
I hope they buffed the dps when you join a chorus, it was a net dps loss to transform the previous time it was available.
I found the form to be underpowered. On my ilvl 200 alt I generally wreck end-level bosses in a few seconds with normal anima powers, but in this form it took a long time to kill them, and in some larger packs, I really struggled until I got some more powers. I even died a couple of times, which hasn't happened in months! A couple of powers worth looking for: 1. shortening the CD on the #1 ability, the casted spell2. adding a dot to the #1 ability3. the DR ability (phase shift) also adds a hot AND an upfront heal - two separate abilities - the latter is phrased weirdly, it seemed like it was only for party members4. coming out of form heals you/stuns mobs around you (also two separate powers)I didn't come across any powers that actually increased the damage of the main two abilities, and that's what's lacking, imo. It took me a few minutes to kill the last boss - usually they take less than a minute - and that was with the help of an Earth Elemental with permanent earthquake + some earthquake buff anima powers.It was kinda fun, but definitely harder than doing it without.
Pretty much exactly this. Just ran both Layer 8s in 40ish minute runs with a 15 hour old toon that dinged 60 3 hours ago and felt legit invincible.
