I didn't hate the chain, ran through it on heroic last night.

The second quest, specifically, was mostly tedious, but I enjoyed the end fight.

Some of the gear seems alright, but I'm so far out of the current gear meta that I might be way off.  The epic scimitar seems great.  I like that they actually went back to an old system for upgrading.

I spent points just so I have some more options for Rxp at cap.

all quests made by ssg that arent something they can take from d&d, or arent already good old packs made epic are all hot fucking garbage. Fashion Madness was when I knew they would never release good original content ever again. they should just stick to implementing modules or making old quests epic. they suck at making their own quests and raids. matter of fact they should be banned from making their own raids ever again

I figured that out ages ago.  It should be painfully obvious most of the devs have zero interest in playing D&D.  You can almost tell what other games they were playing or movies they were watching when inspired to create a lot of the packs.

Wheloon isn't a D&D adventure, it's someone's rejected concept for an "Escape from New York" game.

what game are you playing?

He's apparently playing the non Dire Charge melee version (aka the motherboard, melee in reaper is useless, waaah!!!) version.

The new content on low skull reaper is medium sized groups of fairly squishy trash with low saves, which is prime design for the new top-tier DPS, semi-tanky melee meta.

Not surprising that some people still think warlocks are king though.  The mobos always seem to be 6-12 months behind people who know what's up.  They'll figure it out eventually.

The one where you can ROFLstomp the whole chain cone-blasting with a Warlock from safe spots (the mobs seem to get stuck on the gates, which is not surprising because SSG).

The first 4 quests are pretty LULZ-worthy on any class (I did multiple runs on alts) on any difficulty, the end fight of the capstone quest is where the gulf between Warlock and any other class is blatantly obvious.

Please post your build so we can all see where all the sad n00bs are failing.

Please list Race, Class(es), Feats Taken (by level), all Past Lives (Racial, Heroic, Iconic, and Epic), Equipped and Hot Swap Gear, Applied Tomes (Skill, Remnant Hand-Ins, Fate, and Ability), and strategies used for completion(s), and your verified completion time(s) via YouTube time-stamped video.

Also provide a rough approximation of the time spent grinding the above (in hours), or the real world currency spent to acquire.

Please elaborate on the vast performance superiority of Your Personal Build vis-a-vis "non Dire Charge melee version (aka the motherboard, melee in reaper is useless, waaah!!!) version.

Please cite your sources, and explicate your answers.

What R are you running them on?

It's difficult on 5 and above in my opinion. Some of that is because people are new to the fight. DPS is key and so is glitter dust.

I can confirm that the melee with the most kills in this raid was also very drunk.

Agreed.   The "there is nothing wrong with melee besides your crappy game play.  Get good scrub" crowd is just as clownish.   I'd ask what game they are playing, but I already know.  Either they are playing the same 5-10 quests that they can actually complete over and over with blinders on and pretending the rest of the game (where their toon will struggle mightily) doesn't exist or they are running in a group with a tank, healer, and CC and never leaving the cozy confines of the backside of stunned, held, webbed, or intimm'd mobs.   

Self limiting your experience does not make it universally true.

That's probably a reasonably accurate statement, but pewpew warlocks don't exactly cruise through R5s while leveling either.  Instakiller warlocks do, but that's a different topic.
