DPS May Appear Slightly Inflated

This Castle Never run was what I would call a “learning experience.” I’d run it before, but always ended up in groups that were much more experienced and geared, therefore allowing me to be carried.

Not this time.

Oh, clearly not this time.

I wasn’t a member of the original queued group. They were at least on the 2nd boss fight by the time I joined. By the end of it we’d wiped so many times on Orcus that I think none of the people who were in the group when I started were still there. None of the names in the above image were not present for the last few tries, having cut their losses and left.

Good News:

  • Apparently I enjoy doing “Rift Duty” on the Orcus fight, which is a good thing because I was often (not always) the only one doing it.
  • I’ve gotten much better at avoiding the green orbs of doom that sometimes spawn when Orcus casts Power Word: Kill.
  • Sticking around the longest gave me an over-inflated DPS score, as I stayed for more attempts than anyone else.

Bad News:

  • I really don’t want to do that again.
