Beta 3 - when released....

[Vexen.X]

Will have the frost wing open for testing.

The frost wing (aka the Caster/mana wing) offers a whole new set mobs based around casters, spell damage, and mana burning effects.

Creatures in this wing will have lower HP than the Fire side, but are more deadly with raid and burst damage.

At the end of this wing is Karnos - the frost lord.

VX mode for this boss is also available.

How to VX mode

To complete VX mode, the boss needs to have 50 or more stacks of Frostbite. The boss gains Frostbite (as well as players) by getting hit with a tick of Blizzard. Every tick of blizzard will increase the players and bosses Auto attack DPS. On players only, it will increase ALL frost damage that player takes. Stacks reset on players in 10s but reset on the boss in 30s.

When the boss is hit by blizzard, he will heal for 1% of his total HP. VX mode is effectivly defeating him when he hits 50 or more stacks, meaning 150% or more of his HP + his boosted damage. If at any time the stacks fall off the boss, you must restack back up to 50 before defeating him.

Good luck!

I'm so sorry but, what does VX mode stand for?

 

[Vexen.X]

Vexcellent Mode, basically the optional Hard Mode version of the fight. Every boss has a hardmode version.

Completeing the VX mode results in Epic Quality loot, as opposed to the normal Enchanted (yellow) items that drop

Okay. I suppose you've got that 'Vexcellent Mode' or 'VX Mode' from your name

Yeah, Vex and his bosses xD. Their first concepts were always very hard and they had to be nerfed shitloads of times so in the end we just added the mode so we can keep the awesome concepts without making the game progress too hard for new people

I like challenges, and I make things too hard for the generic public usually... You should see the difficulty of some of the alpha builds when the bosses were first put into the game, lol
