    Q8 came out today and I wouldn't be me if I didn't try to solo the boss on fatal. I figured I'd do something special for you all since you all liked the Herald video so much. I soloed him first and went straight from that into Sigrismar with no break.

    Also, if you look at 4:49, you can see this is my first attempt at him. All I knew to expect was what I'd heard rumors about, since I don't have it unlocked on test server (still on Q4). The rest was all me being me and the lessons I learned from 5 runs of Painful.

    So, DSO, how about actually giving me a challenge!

    I do still have one challenge on my plate. I want to be able to solo Khalys fatal. That is the only thing in the entire game I can't solo.... yet.

    Do it on pink, blue, green. You will have plenty of challenge.

    You mean a longer fight but not an harder fight.

    No. If you played the 2h DK, or saw the footage, you would know that dmg = hp, as he heals throughout the fight. No dmg no healing. Additionally, he wouldnt kill the stones and minions that fast, and encounter all the beauty of the map :) I wouldnt make bold statements, but I doubt he would survive in that mode on green. Purple perhaps is the minimum.

    Sebastian is right. The less damage with greens would make HP regen more difficult and that would make it take even longer due to having to play even more carefully. If you want to see the difference between a boss fight with greens and a boss fight with reds, look at these two examples from the last Dragan event.
    Reds:

    Greens:

    Lots more running in the greens video and fighting when I had stun breaks/Dragon Hide for regen and taking very little chances due to having a much smaller margin for error. The hardest part of that fight with greens was the crazy high damage from the lasers spelling certain doom and the hits from Dragan were worse than even the hits from Herald.

    I suspect that I could do it with blues without too much trouble, but greens would be pushing it for now. Of course, with enough HP potions, I might be able to do it with greens after all if I time it right.

    Courtesy Call (with intro "This Is A Warning"), War of Change, Down, all from TFK's album "The End is Where We Begin."

    Courtesy Call is called Overkill aswell if you look it in YT.

    Hum, never heard it called Overkill before. The album lists it as "Courtesy Call," and almost all the videos that pop up when you look for "TFK Overkill" call it "Courtesy Call" and only have "Overkill" in their video tags. Now I'm curious where the name came from.

    Once again, great video! Your might is nothing to be joked about. Oh, and GL on those 397 Sargon kills left. Have fun farming it in the Dragan event, as that's the only remaining source, isn't it?

    On another note, why was the volume so low? Or is it only me? I thought only DSO Twitch streams on YT had that kind of volume, haha. So are you into Christian Rock/Metal in particular, or do you just like TFK and Skillet as part of your playlist? I'd be on the second option (not stressing much over sub-genres). Either way, me likey :D (and also shoutout to GodChronos for another brother with a shared musical taste xD).

    I used to use ground breaker because it was my normal PvE skill, but as I started building a lower speed/higher damage build, I recognized the use of Charge and pretty soon, it became an initiating attack, a high damage attack, a movement skill, and an escape skill. And as I started building my crit over 50%, I recognized the use of Rage Attack with the cool down reduction on bosses where having access to stun breaks and regen from FBC and DH. I could also take 2 points out of MWS (who needs the range when you only have one target really close to you), but in that run, I didn't have anything else I wanted to spend 2 points on.
    It is... I don't even know why I'm still working on it because it will never compete with my crit damage amulet, but I've gotten this far, I can't stop now. :p
    Because "oops." I am lazy and the way I put music in my vids is by playing it in the background while I play and the recording captures the system volume. I forgot to turn things up to 100% before I started.
    I actually like all music except Country, Rap, and Teenager Pop, but the general feel of TFK and Skillet are one of my main go to types of music. Also on my videos are music from RWBY, Otherwise, and even some nightcore.

    Try sacred mind on nightcore.

    Of course not! It'd really be a shame to let all that progress go to waste. Anyway, it'll make a great trophy / gemholder :cool:.
    I see. Let's say you're forgiven this time :D, but maybe you should tell them how to do it, so we can actually hear sth. from streams xD.
    Nice!

    I'm running high dmg and low attack speed and i use charge with bleeding talent combo in addition with Grimmag's set so i don't depend on crit hits, the issue is to sinchronize with the 4 bleeding seconds to not break the charges spam; i think it's about practice so i counted 6 charges after breaking the spam, that means 6 hits in some less than 4 seconds using 0,97 att speed, then i use ragefull swing and restart the spam... but in sigrismar you have no time for second wave of spam of charges, he uses the shield... i died 11 times this afternoon running him solo :( .... i need to get used more runs

    That is indeed a challenge, but I find that against single target bosses with high damage, it is more important to not be there when the hit lands. The little movement speed and attack speed burst from Rage Attack helps with the dancing around the boss part and then I can let Dragon Fury do most of the work. I estimate that I only take about 50% of Sigrismar's attacks, and some of them are on purpose to generate rage. On the other hand, Herald is so dangerous with his 5 second stun that I don't even risk taking a hit to generate rage. I learned that it could be dangerous on painful, so I made sure to avoid as many hits as I could on fatal while also saving my stun breaks for emergencies.
