Some more "homemade hardmodes" to keep me busy. These were done without army of the dead else they would have been rather trivial.
80 DK solo: Blackrock Caverns "Hardmodes" - YouTube
BOSS 1
- Hardmode: After pulling 2 Evolved Twilight Zealots, defeat Rom'ogg without killing them or the chains that he creates.
- Notes: The lack of movement meant I couldn't reposition after the adds teleported behind me until the boss had cast Quake (which made the chains disappear).
BOSS 2
- Hardmode: Pull 2 Evolved Twilight Zealots and then defeat Corla without ever standing in the beams or killing any of the zealots.
- Notes: These adds hit very very hard. Their Shadow Strike ability deals 30k spell damage and their Gravity Crush hits for 60% of my current health as physical damage.
BOSS 3
- Hardmode: Defeat Karsh without removing him from the stream of molten metal.
- Notes: The fire damage hits harder and harder the longer the fight goes on (so resists are required), but he also dies quicker too (I got a 92k crit at the end when he had 28 stacks).
BOSS 4
- Hardmode: Engage Beauty and all 4 of her corehound pups at the same time, and defeat her whilst they are all still alive.
- Notes: Cycling cooldowns was essential to survive Beauty's heavy damage combined with the pups' flame breaths (each dealing 21k fire damage over 5 secs).
BOSS 5
- Hardmode: Whilst in combat with 2 Defiled Earth Ragers, pull and defeat Obsidius.
- Notes: The meteors hit very hard (~45k fire damage) but can sometimes be avoided by moving, which is crucial as the boss adds apply a 96% reduced healing debuff.
