You can actually toggle walk on here to navigate the maze a little easier.

How do you get the cards for Seagull, Ash ketchum and beat box? Rank 8 and beat stranger things and nothing is showing up.

They show up in random brawl mode. Dunno if the cards were implemented, evidence points to no.

Ya even more so for melee....screw that fight seriously.

Buy the chipped dice, then sign up for random brawls. The only way to fight them right now

Pretty easy as Ret with Hand of Hindrance. Use it when they are against a wall and then almost run straight into the wall. Have fun DPSing them down without a care.

[Captain Douchebag]

For the Ogrewatch fight, I advice getting rid of the goblin first. Removing him fast means a lot less movement required on your part, and with half-decent dps you'll still have plenty of time to kill Dupree before high noon finishes.

Also, on Serpent of Old, try sticking to the damage increase and attack speed totems. It is somewhat of a dps check, so giving him healing or damage reduction can be troublesome if you're a little low in that department.

Shadowmaster Aaameen That guy... THAT GUY IS MY BANE! i got issues on my mage. T_T

[Ozbaab]

Is the difficulty scaled to your ilevel or how does that work?

There is no scaling at all. For most of us it'll take a few months to clear Rank 8. You need to sustain a solid ~500k for Epicus Maximus and Ray D Tear.

I'm 878 on my Ret Pala with dogshit legendaries, and I'm stuck now. I can't dish out enough dough to kill them.

Cool, thanks

[AngryCoco]

Yeah I'm stuck on Ray D Tear, closest I got was 1.5m health left on him!

Using double-pot twice and this 15% stat flower from the PvP worldquest (when active) can help a lot.

I'm double potting and using drums

I'll just wait for my 2 DPS Legendaries to drop and a good on use trinket. That's all I need to make rank 8. So that's anything from 2 weeks to 5 years.

Don't worry. With Nighthold, you will get better gear, tier set and some nice trinkets, so you don't have to wait for your BiS legendaries.
Have you try it with the 15% flower? It gave me a nice boost together with the double pots.

Good tip, that might push me over the edge! I'll wait for the Brawler initial surge to die down a bit anyway. I've tried different times to queue for it, and it's always up to 6-10 people in front of me. Having to wait that long to have another go at the fight and learn it is too long for my lack of patience.

Or I'll find someone on an empty server to help me out, but I can't really be bothered with that. There's no rush, the Brawler's Guild is one of the coolest on-the-side content Blizzard has introduced in this game, I'll enjoy it a bit longer

Got Ray D. Tear sunday night with some time to spare on my 880 DH with crap legendaries. Did 614k dps. Definitely needed to use flask, 375 food, double pre-pot and double pot during the encounter, drums, and maybe defiled augment rune. With a bursty spec like havoc it wasnt too bad.
