August 9, 2019 -Updated for Patch 3.7 |
0:06 Tier 12 Defiled Cathedral 0:47 Tier 12 Promenade 1:30 Tier 12 Racecourse This video was recorded on a level 83 Inquisitor wielding Agnerod West Staff. We have also decided to skip the Ball Lightning setup as we had limited budget for this character and had to Maps up to Tier 13 and Arc did just fine in there. This video was recorded pre 3.7, however, the gameplay mechanics didn't change that much |
