    Nice job, DM!

    Congrats... you never fail to impress.

    Question: You must fail a lot prior to succeeding I assume, so do you change your load outs, skill points, and powers to find things that are more effective in your quest as you progress?

    In this case, it would appear rage is the only power class that could pull this off... but I have seen you use other powers in the past. Do you predetermine what power your going to attempt it with and then go from there, or is the power selection up for change as well as the things mentioned above?

    There are encounters that can seem absolutely hopeless at first, but playing around with sp and pp builds and practicing can go a long way.

    For this encounter in particular, I don't see any other powerset being able to survive more than a few seconds.
    If you look at the Damage In on the scoreboard and divide it by the time I was fighting you can see that I'm receiving roughly 4k damage per second from those adds (they do more damage than that but some of it is avoided through CC and immunities).
    Only rage can take that insane amount of punishment and still come out smiling.

    Deathmike out.

    Here's another video of the same thing.
    The difference is that this was done after the fix to the rage/earth tank buffs (unlike the video in the op) so it was significantly harder.


    Deathmike out.
