litany ambush change

Print Post  
There seems to be a change in the mechanics of this encounter ... It seems to be that if something isn't keeping agro on the mobs then the lever will reset.  I tested with none, one, and two crystals lit then invis sneaking in the hidey holes and each time the lever reset itself ... I know that the old 2 skelly method has been borked for some time but i could always turtle up and torc even with the mobs pouring in ... Can anyone verify and or help with the new requirements to complete?  Or did they catch on that I'm using a postal weight to hold shift while i I smoke during this part of the farm?

In this context, is ambush even the correct name for what's happening?
  

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.

This makes sense. I had numerous runs where I tried to stealth and it would NOT progress.

If you stand in the sweetspot at the lever you only need to kill 6 small skellies. The lever won't reset.

I ran it a few times in the last life on my monk and its not working. The mobs keeping spamming and run direct to you even if you are invis and sneaking.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

Hiding doesn't really matter. It's moving.
Get to the lever (behind it if you don't want to get hit by the archers) and then, don't move, if you take a step, it triggers the spawn of the giant skellys and then you get shoved around to spawn more.
As long as you don't move your feet, you will only have to kill the 4 small skellys.

If you use the pillars, you're doing it wrong, and it'll reset.

It's not a difficulty issue. It's a 7% devious bonus issue.

Jesus christ.  Why do they have to keep fucking with shit.  Do those morons honestly think they're making the game any better.  How about actually making new content that doesn't suck.

In my experience, you had to be standing on the green areas for it to progress or it would reset.
