yh from what ive heard from kr streamers is that normal and hard are so close in reward alot of people just do normal
Illiakan hard you give you just a pet that you can buy with his coin in his store , would you like to spend Tons of gollld and silver and shards etc whalling for a singlle pet ?
As Kr server happenned the same thiing oon Ru , i play iin both servers and my ru char iiis 1581 and many of my Rus and chinas friends are 1591 1596 around and few are 1600 and what happenned with my 1600 friends ? they’re doing normal illliakan with their teammates …

Stop panicking with this “new” Akkan transition it is the same as the Brelshaza transition.
I remember reaching 1490 5x and a 1500 1x base Brelshaza transition before she was released as a non-p2w player. Not going to go for Akkan HM ready because you get more value with multiple (same scenario) base min values for normal.
With the given content we get after Brel HM I’m sure players can guarantee at least one Akkan-ready main before it is released.
i have been doing rested unas/dailies since september last year and im 1560 with 5x 1540 and 90m silver so I think you’ll 100% be fine for brel hard on rested (I was 1520 2 months ago?). If anything leapstones may be your issue more than shards at least till 1540 - ik a few of my chars that pitied 3-4 pieces (including weapon) ran out of leaps really fast and I had to use event leaps to supplement them
The difference is I have an additional 6 chars that run purely lopang and boss rush
If you have to pug it id say its not worth time wise. From my experience chances to get jailed are still pretty high.
I do it once a week on my main and my income is fine enough.
Personally, If you want the easier road, just do 1-4 the entire time. Sure its an extra 16 more horns for doing 5/6 with some more gold but pugs on it can be a real headache vs just doing 1-4 which are pretty straightforward for the 28 horns a week. With getting just 4 boxes, you can still get the full Breal set in 9 weeks of just 1-4.
doing just 1-2 makes sense too if youre done set but 1-2 p arties most likely to jail so you join on your juiced dps that can solo gate 2/gate 1
Ye mine are dead atm LMAO
We aren’t going to push for too many 5-6 in the first week, I imagine just mains, but I wanted a 1570+ main with three 1553 DPS alts and two 1550 Support Alts to do 1-4 with as well. DPS Alts might go up another hone or two since I’m the designated Prokel guy however.
Play at your own pace
People who play daily will be fine. It is the people who skip everything that will struggle or need to swipe
Also ignoring Chaos Dungeos and doing only Guardian Raids.
Shit… im fuked lol

thing is, essentially EVERY DPS plays glass cannon. Thats essentially all they do. If people would of learned that taking even 1 Defensive Engraving like Heavy Armor, they would survive more often and really the only “wipes” would happen to failed mechs instead of a random person taking a random hit that kills them.
This game isn’t all about DPS checks yet every DPS has the mindset of a glass cannon. So far the ONLY real fights with DPS checks ARE in the infernal Modes which you personally set the gear/stats up yourself.
But I know Its on deaf ears and the status quo isn’t going to change with DPS or leaders taking in DPS players, its always about the maximum amount of damage multipliers and just essentially dont get hit. its probably why pubs feel like such jails since its NOT only the wipe mechanics that kill people now but just random hits as well due to the glass cannon mentality.
Its really like the old wei/orb decision from Valtan. Use Wei, fight is slower but almost 100% clear chance, use orbs and the fight is faster but if one person messes up, then teh fight is slower then if you just used wei. Same principle can apply to glass cannon builds vs slightly tankier builds. Sure the raid with the tankier builds will take longer but has a much much much higher chance of success of clearing the raid the first time. The glass cannon one will clear it much faster but 1 person mess up and essentially its a wipe and now your slower then the tankier raid group. Most LA fights are about having bodies alive to do the mechs, NOT the damage you can do. Game has far more stagger checks which are NOT dps checks.
why do you want to SIT on 1580 when we dont even have brel hard like whats the point ??? at least try the content when you are close to the item lvl so that you get enjoyement unless you just like to go through everything super easy !
But i like to have some challenge a littlebit
this is off course subjective but clearly sitting on 1580 is not possible for everyone
The prob with your statement is that you are comparing early on legion raid when people were not as good at the game vs current situation of the game.
And your valtan exemple specialy doenst make sense. “Cheese” was only cause people are afraid of failing but IF YOU CAN DO IT ONCE you can doit TWICE … like whats the point of thinking that people fail all the time. think more positive !
Yeah, Akkan is the same thing as Vykas and Valtan.
Same materials, same armor rarity, slightly more gold and mats on hard.
Akkan is also eassier than Brel to figure out, i learned a lot of it from simply watching streamers, specially g2 and g3[g1 still confuses me a bit xDD]
Either way, we did Normal Brel g5 g6 on ilvl and we were fine, Akkan will be no different, and by the time we get Akkan it will probably be nerfed too.
People seems to forget that at the moment you only need +17 to be ready for all contents (that will come up in 2 weeks), and for the following 6-8 months after Brel hard you’ll only need to reach +19 (unless you want to go for Akkan Hard week 1)…
Of course it’s expensive to get beyond +20, it’s like how it was really expensive to go for Brelshaza Normal G5-6 before crafting Brelshaza gear.
For the most part after the growing pains of it being the first legion raid and players afraid to screw up a mechanic, the usual method of orbs into wei was fine since it really changed nothing in terms of how fast the clear becomes (since wolf will sit at 0 hp and go through his routine at the end anyway)
There isn’t really other mechanics after this very first introduction to legion raids where players has this stigma that if you won’t do the mechanic the “intended” way you are just bad
It’s expensive to go to +19. The cost of honing from 16-19 per character is probably more than the cost to go from 1302 to 1550 lol.
Yes, we’ll have months to grind our dailies and run Brel HM on reset to stockpile the resources to finish the push, but it’s no small amount of either daily grinding or swiping to accomplish that.
Also this is exactly why the idea of “catching up” to KR is unreasonable, since every release requires us to stop, progress the actual raid, then grind it for 6 months while we get the materials to push on lol
tech yes if we go by def:
aka fail to DPS = wipe
Apply to LOA instead its do low DPS harder raid becomes which leads to wipe. Tomato Tomatoe semantics I say.
