Runes of Magic US / AU

Well, So far i've figured out is if you jump into the "Portal" infront of the banka pet, the boss respawns. But then one shots me. Still trying to figure out what the heck to do.

seems that banka hits harder in easy mode than in normal mode...will test in hard mode...

Apparently easy mode Banka is actually hard mode Banka.

Pshaw! People love it when HM mobs show in easy mode. Just ask anyone exploiting Tosh.

Me, I want easy way to deal with Kashay scouts. They keeel me dead more than the boss does.

I think I've figured out how to get boss out of Banka. When he's in the Banka, he spawns balls that follow people around. You need to make the balls hit the Banka by leading them to him. I'm thinking that the more balls that hit the Banka, he may take damage.

Indeed, when the balls are following you and you run through the boss the ball hits the "barrier", and then the balls kill it. Then the boss becomes attackable again. We also figured that when you have a warden pet attacking the boss the balls destroy the barrier right when they appear

here is my personnal experience of the new instance if it can help anyone, so i heard 1 shotting first boss with scout snipe bugs the door and you cant snipe without agroing the boss first. trying to 1 shot without agroing first with ch/m rampage might be a way to get further into ez mode.

as far as trying the boss itself, it seems like it goes into the banka after taking 10% or it's hp in damage, if you bring it below 80% before it happens it bugs and you need to reset the hole instance. as said previously, some orbs spawn and follow some ppl, need to run it into the boss to make it reapear. having a melee wd pet hitting the boss will make him respawn imediatly when the boss reapears, he will teleport someone to him and deal about 80% damage to him.

For the rest i'm not as sure, i know ppl need to move to avoid shifting sands which seems to be like an invisible version of kbn 6th bombs that you also have no idea when it pops, there are also debuffs that reduce casting speed and attack speed by a fair margin, doesnt seem to be cleansable. on top of it there seem to be aoe dots everywhere, basically bring a druid if you want a chance to do anything, since you want to be moving, and even then might just get pulled it and 1 shot coz right after taking 80% of your hp not only are you stun but the banka which is untargettable might just run after you and white hit you for a bunch.

basically what needs to be figured out is how to avoid shifting sand consistently and how to either avoid having someone pulled in or how to make sure that person doesnt die. hope it helps

sidenote: having invisible trash that can 1 shot coe hm rdy tank on ez mode seems a bit ridiculous and not fun to me. same for boss, getting crowd control + heavily damaged by some invisible aoe feels pretty bad.

Quicksand AoE's r not invisible. Remove ur [noyoushouldnothave].

i dont have one
basically i see the aoe area but after it hits which is useless
any idea what setting you need to see it before?

Nobody can kill 1st boss???

i think the quicksand aoe is cause from some bombs that the boss throws on 2-3 ppl randonmly. u can see the bombs thrown from the banka even with low settings as mine. however with all the mess in this fight (aoes, roots, pulls, dots, hm-banka-bug) u cant focus on whether a bomb is coming on u or not.

We did first boss this way =).

did door opened? ik maimed 1 shotted on s/wd and it didnt

Yeah door opened for me. Just got rekt by 2nd boss =(. I don't know if maimed's was a true one shot, but i didnt use any debuffs on boss, just buffs.

from what he told me the boss was running toward him when snipe landed, so you need to have not start the fight mechanic kinda like jenny i guess

Bahhhh thats not what i spect...with this "tactic" we need to wait lvl 200 to do it in hardmode
