Hey guys, I was wondering what your fastest T2 run was in a pug.
Here's my fastest run: 18 min
Been doing T2 for 2 days now and this is the best I've been able to do. Main team stalled me about 2 minutes on seeds, but it wasn't too bad. I imagine that fastest can be ~13-16 minutes without pcons.

Don't pay any mind to this ^^. 18 is not "super slow" for a PUG group...where there is no t3 t4, one has to wait for main team, and doesn't use copious p-cons.

tbh u can do t2 in 14-15 if the main team get quest at 7-8min but pugs never get that kind of time anymore Q.Q
oh and t3 doesnt change the time t2 can get

Life Bringing · Dec 14, 2010, 04:24 PM // 16:24

18 is decent, but it really depends on what time you get quests from the mt and what bar you're running. Ideally you should be able to finish seeds in one less sliver than there are seeds and kill khobay in one sliver.

the best time i can have without having candy and stuff, is after main team did tower i can finish in 5 minutes. so if main team does 10minute im done in 15minutes. had once a 8 min main team and had a 12 min t2 job in a pug run

I have another question about Armor of Earth vs Stoneflesh Aura.
Since Stoneflesh gives immunity to crits, does that mean the abyssals cannot kd you?
In that case, it would seem that Stoneflesh is better to use.

no, u still get kd'd.

preimmortal · Dec 14, 2010, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Oh, even if we do still get KD's from Abyssals, would it be better to bring since it doesn't slow down? The only time I use Armor of Earth is when I run past ToS when I agro a million abyssals and rangers, but since I use it, I run really slowly towards cave waiting for IAU to come back up. Seems like if I sub in Stoneflesh, I would be able to take less damage and have my normal speed despite the 2 sec cast time. The only other time I use Armor is when a BU is popped for T1 and I have to cover, in this case I think Stoneflesh would hinder my performance.

Consider using AoE together with a speed boost such as a cupcake. Furthermore, if you are confident your t1 won't die, you can take out your damage reduction skill entirely.

Life Bringing · Dec 14, 2010, 11:47 PM // 23:47

^that. Consider equipping a staff(for the HSR) when reaching the ToS area and dcing up to a ranger by the worm instead of running across the lava area. If you run to the next ranger group up a wall and wait a few seconds for dc to recharge, you can avoid agroing abyssals entirely. As you've noticed, you don't need any buff for the t2 role at all and it's really just a safety net for covering t1.

My best T2 time 11 minutes, thanks to an amazing main team. I recall they were a guild and totally blew my mind at their speed. T1 couldnt keep it alive and I ended up doing his job as well. Finished his job in 2 minutes in the flaming forest, quest + wolf. If you cant take the heat, stay out of the flaming forest and bring a shield vs fire dmg lol.

paranon · Dec 16, 2010, 10:10 PM // 22:10

tbh t2 times are very much limited by how fast your main team is, khobay and seeds can easily be done in about 4 minutes if you do wolves before quests so it doesnt really matter how fast you are, if the team takes 15mins to take quests it'll be a slow time and if they take 7 it will be a quick time.

iay1455 · Dec 17, 2010, 04:51 PM // 16:51

my fastest t2 was a guild run. 11 min with 8 min main team. i normally average -4 min after forge time.

also t2 is sorta luck dependent with cave wolf and khobay spawn

preimmortal · Dec 22, 2010, 07:15 AM // 07:15

Hey everyone, I have one more T2 question which happens every so often to me.
Sometimes I accidentally pulled too much aggro into the cave and all of the cave spiders in the beginning die. Is there anything I can do to kill the cave wolf in this situation? I've tried summoning stones, but this hasn't worked. Sliver doesn't seem to work with just the cave wolf. Anyone got any other tips?

paranon · Dec 22, 2010, 10:15 AM // 10:15

if you can get the cave wolf alone, then sliver and a summoning stone will kill him (best place to pull him is near to nimros). Other than that just be very careful what you pull into the cave, do not aggro the two patrolling groups on the way to nimros and wait behind nimros to lose all aggro before you run to the cave, waiting for the two patrolling groups to be out of the way before you do.
