DoA Doublecast

Introduction

Doublecast is an off-meta tactic used by TFZ in Domain of Anguish. It comprises a set of builds focused around the 5 "Doublecast" elite skills from each of the Elementalist attributes.

The goal isn't to go for time, but rather to have fun by spiking in a different manner and keeping the game/area interesting. This particular off-meta tactic is good to introduce players with, given the tactics are almost identical to meta 3-3.

Like all our off-meta tactics, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to discuss with us in our TFZ Discord Server :).

Overview

Trench Tank (TT)

Build

/ TT
Shadow: 12+3+1, Tactics: 7, Dagger: 10, CS: 4 OwFk8xjUnWdENpOzB0EUoDCEuTnD

Make sure you reach the requirement of your shield (taking into account weakness) and invest the rest of the points in Dagger Mastery and Critical Strikes.

Equipment

Normal Tank Equipment is used.

Role

You wall the last wave of 360. Swap with the Main Tank between Room 3 and Jadoth so the team have Honor for the wall and Jadoth.

Main Tank (MT)

Build

/ MT
Shadow: 12+3+1, Tactics: 7, Dagger: 10, CS: 4 OwFkUhd6HPKENpOzBUDUuICEuTnD

Make sure you reach the requirement of your shield (taking into account weakness) and invest the rest of the points into Dagger Mastery and Critical Strikes.

Equipment

Normal Tank Equipment is used.

Role

• You should generally ball the same groups the MT does in 3-3 and cast Honor for as many spikes as possible. Use HoS before each Honor at 360 and 3:3.
• You tank the Titans in Foundry Room 3 to provide Honor and swap roles with the TT from this point until Jadoth to provide Honor for Fury and the wall.
• Note that without SoH, you need to pull the enemies to the other side of the Captain and stand still to avoid enemies switching targets once activated.
• DC to the Fury ball right as they're getting knocked by Earthquake, so the spikers can jump to you.
• Honor and bow/spear the PI'd tendrils at 3:3.

• Spam PI on the Sus on the wall and use it wisely in Foundry rooms.
• As the TK, you are responsible for killing the usual TK tendrils. To do this, stand on the centre tendrils and use PI on the back tendril and PBAoE skills to kill the close tendril. If the tank hasn't bowed the back tendril to finish it off, make sure you use Glowing Gaze to do so.
