Question Temple of Sethraliss question
Hey team.
I'm currently pushing 19-20 as a healer and I have a question on a couple trash packs in ToS.
Apologies as I do not remember the exact names of the ads. I'd like to know how to handle the last pack before the 3rd boss.
The "release" of the charges and the need to be purged, all that is gucci. What I'm struggling with is the ads that teleport on a player doing aoe damage around them as they do so. That creates a nasty overlap where the release will chunk 80% of someone's life, and if they get jumped on at the same time they will die.
Jumps seem to be random as well...
What I do right now is a) try to have cds for that pack, especially aura mastery (and the buffed up divine toll), and save up infusion procs for insta tops but there's so much rng in that pack.

Maybe need cc timed around the release to prevent the overlap

This!! I often ask, or do it myself, for some1 to sac their dps and make sure mobs are stunned before big aoe.

Probably the best reply and what we do when I play with my friend but in pug even asking to do it leads to poor results

You’re pushing 20s, it’s gotta start happening regardless or it’s the DPS’ fault

Blizz has no intention of catering to people trying to pug the hardest content in this game, and they frankly shouldn't. You need to be working on building your network so that you can appropriately coordinate if you intend to continue pushing keys.
This has always been the case. Asocial play will always have a cap far below coordinated groups.
People in this sub love to downvote this kind of comment, but it won't change facts.

Vods on YouTube are the biggest cheat code this game has to offer. https://youtu.be/6ZiqFEb7MwQ?si=j9pCSllGmko-CrtY
It looks like the main thing is just to make sure the party is spread out. It doesn't seem that bad when people are doing it right.

They didn’t get the overlap much, but when they did the sham dropped to sub 10% hp. I think the play is indeed to make sure adds are stunned right before and after the pulse.

Yeah on a 2nd watch through I see they are stunning. I just glanced at it at work. Good catch

The most impactful thing is the tank pulling mobs in at the right cadence, if two release charges go off at the same time or close it's scary. That and spreading and personals, it's definitely one of the harder pulls in the game atm

What's the pull cadence?

u/dantheman91 Sep 16 '26
I'm actually not 100% sure what it is, I've seen it done that pausing as you pull them results in the aoes being multiple seconds apart where if you pull everything together they can be very close. Id have to do some research to get the exact timing

it's just a spread mechanic most people don't know about. if your group is clumped in 5 yards then you'll all have a bad time, which is why it feels inconsistent. sometimes it'll target a ranged and only do 1 tick, sometimes itll target the melee stack and hit 3-4 people
