Ayy first comment! Love the content man!
I run Torghast solo as a Holy Priest and I've found them to be 'alright'. I think their value probably goes up on healer/maybe tank spec runs. Though I absolutely agree that they underperform – especially in regards to auto damage. I had a pretty decent L8 run with the AoE silence pet last night though. Managed to stack his damage to 300%+ through Hungering Anima and since I'm playing Holy it's pretty easy to offset the % damage taken in combat with healing. He basically one-shot packs of mobs with his AoE and made the whole thing SO MUCH faster than it typically is on my HPriest.
Not sure if you mentioned it in the video, but you can also revive the pets basically instantly if you heal them to full yourself once they go down. But yeah, it feels almost like an oversight/bug that they do such bad damage outside of their abilities (or even with, seeing that Horgul dps). Even with all the stacked damage I mentioned earlier, Valioc did basically nothing outside of using his AoE.
The tank pet stacked with health, when they die they do % dmg, and they heal 50% more and heal you when they heal. That combo let’s the beast destroy everything and keep you healed.
Got the maw mount and dont care right now about ranking up Legos
So… Until they add armor sets or weapon skins fuck torghast
For me the beast actively hurt my run. Apart from eating up anima power choices, it prevents me from single pulling elite mob duos (and in general causes unintended additional pulls) while it is unable to hold aggro on more than one mob. And Anamnestic Memories is a trap. I took it instead of the "Dying Mawrats explode"-power because I thought it at least does something. Often the dog doesn't loot stuff out of combat but he has, occasionally, run away in combat to loot, which is a problem…
mine fucking pulled extra shit and got me killed. fuck those pets.
Hey keep it up
and a great video
I wish you continued success and health
Yours sincerely, VNM63 💪🏾😏✌🏽
My guildy loves them. But he plays a mage and most of their class powers are trash anyway, so it makes sense he'd rather have an explodey tank-dog instead of… 5 more seconds to alter time.
Torghast is bizarre – it's almost nonsensical they would spend so much time on an expansion 'feature' that does nothing but give a crafting currency and some generic adventure table characters. What were they thinking by putting literally no rewards in there beyond that, and Twisting Corridors is hours of gameplay that offers nothing beyond a couple of underwhelming achievement rewards. It's almost as if the different departments working on it never actually got around to asking each other what Torghast was supposed to actually be.
Doggos of doodoo
One thing is Runic Etchings is stronger than the datamine shows, since it seems it actually gives 100% hp not 50% which would make the synergy between the stun and hp increasing one.
So no one seems to understand what a time sink is…
They are a waste of time, i went in with a friend both destro locks same lvl and i took all the dog stuff and my friend took no dog stuff. I has less dps towards the end. Completely useless.
Gotta massively disagree with you on this. Tank pet with the 100% dmg power and lose 1% health per turn in combat, comboed with the explode on death and stacked with as many health boosts for him you can makes him an absolute beast. He will die and explode on big pulls and instakill anything that isn't elite. Elites will be severely damaged and stunned so you can finish them.
Add the power where he heals you and now he heals you whenever he dies and regens his health.
Beast turned layer 8 into an absolute cakewalk. All bosses were stuck fighting him, getting stunned by him, he would explode on them and by that point I could easily finish them off, including the final boss.
Their utility is through the roof.
Don't pick those trash dogs if u plan to tank in a grp. They aggro and ruin mob stacking.
"Undercooked" would summarize Torghast quite nicely.
As a Fury i have to say the event is a cool idea. A pet would be cool if you clear both wings with your bear, but i am doing way more dmg otherwise. Not like in most other content xD
EDIT: Note that the 100% damage increase scales with the power where the dog deasl damage equal to its max hp when it dies. I build a pretty cool build with what was essentially a creeper dog. Still wasn´t woorth it though. Same with the Teethh collar.
Why are you not using Mind Sear or Holy Nova to destroy the phylacteries? Would save you a ton of time. 😜
I mean even if the 'dogs' were available in twisting, it would be nothing more than a companion pet out.
The lack olf damage they do is laughable.
"Undercooked" – hopefully down the track we can send it back to the kitchen (blizz) and get it cooked through more.
Enjoy your content you put out thoroughly btw, liked and subscribed! Cheers for your time and effort and creating interesting content.
This pet is a con to stop you taking the few good powers there are. If you tank this thing as a monk you'll die.
The trick is to get the power that causes them to explode when they die and then buff their health. Big pulls, they die, everything else dies as well. Made it a cakewalk.
As a guardian druid, I guess I'll try the one with the haste buff.. It's not like I have a problem in Torghast layer 8; it was doable in like iLvL 170-175 or so, and being closer to 200 makes it easy enough, so I might as well try this for what it is – something to change things up a bit, just for fun. ^^
