Revision as of 02:57, 3 December 2019

Zraw tactics continue a tradition of tanking the Deep with a warrior, with builds updated for the modern meta. These builds are designed for fun, efficiency, and ease of use. In particular, it is possible for the team to add or remove players without having to adjust the other bars. So long as the first 3 roles are filled by reliable players, PUGs can easily be added, filling the other spots.

  • Maintain UA so you can res people instantly.
  • Co-ordinate your GDW with the DwG - if all the physical attackers have a weapon up, cast it on the other monks.

Optional Skills

  • With less than 7 members in the party, the monk should bring Recall. Otherwise, bring a skill of your choice. Infuse Health and Signet of Rejuvenation are good choices.
  • When the WotA dagger spammer is added, the tank can drop Recall for Return.
  • The VoS can be replaced with another 100B, which deals less AoE damage but can function as a backup tank.
  • Tank can also be done by a ranger, so long as there is a VoS or 100B to spike Scorpions. OgcTc588ZSnBBC3xmU44AimszBA
  • Since the last few players have little impact on the run, it is not uncommon for people to bring their own bars for fun or to get the ZB. Double Dragon ele is particularly popular.

General Tips

  • While running, wield a shield set and don't wear low health armor.
  • Stand on the same pad each run, to avoid confusion.
  • Run in a tight ball with the team, and use EE to keep up. Running too far in front is as bad as dawdling behind.
  • EE targets with low health to help the monks out. If they are stuck though, just let them die so they can be UA'd.
  • Summoning stones are useful everywhere the team stops to fight. Anyone but the tank can pop. If you don't want to pop an expensive stone, Legionnaire is great.
