why is deaths of chromie SO HARD

[Tradu]

i screwed up and set chromie for rep gains

- - - Updated - - -

i give up for today
i wasted 2-3 hours on chromie all i got was a title

The other option alongside rep is just damage taken reduction for Chromie, which is pretty irrelevant.

You either need stupidly good luck, or more talents. Your choice

Or a little bit of luck and playing properly.

Ah, an additional thing. Although you say that you have spent "hours last week and today" trying to complete it, you are still only 643 / 6000 on friendly with Chromie.

Be efficient! Farm that rep for an hour or so and you will be at honored and/or halfway through to revered!

WTF!!!!!!!!
HOW THE FK AM I SUPPOSE TO DO THIS

The real question is, why would you wanna do it.

I think the shortcut items is what OP is missing here.

With that I extend my question to: do you even use the Sands of Time you get at all? the extra action button thing?

i have spent probably half a day in total on this scenario if i combine multiple attempts

i am still stuck
without them skip booster talents

For god's sake skannerz22. People have told you 100 times now to wait till you get all the chromie talents which make it from impossible into super easy. You've RECEIVED YOUR ANSWER. You now know what you need to do, so further complaining here is just pointless. Go away please.

Get good. Done it several weeks ago with much less gear.

As if gear matters in that scenario. LUL

I'd imagine 3 tier bonuses would go quite a way.
So would dps legendaries and BiS gear (in terms of best possible at ilvl 1000)

13-15min each time zone = close to 1 hour
add 5-10 minutes ontop of it for killing bosses at shrines you memorised
that's around 65-70 minutes of gameplay
so
yes
it
DOES
skipping a shrine removes like what 3 minutes? add another shrine if your lucky thats 6 minutes

if you're lucky you get to skip 1 time zone which removes 15 minutes
which ends up with 49 minutes left

somehow by a mirracle you get to max your extended time by 3 minutes
that's 46 minutes left
you research enough talents to unlock portals to the shrines so you don't have to fly
that's like what 6 minutes travel time removed in a very exaggerated way
40 minutes was a rough estimate of what i said
by a mirracle of god out of all those skips and extended times you got you manage to get a SECOND time zone skip
removing 15 minutes from that 40
25 minutes to do everything

this quest is gated behind RNG and paying blizzard more subscription

With talents setup specifically for completing the scenario in time, skipping 1 timezone is pretty much guaranteed, skipping 2 very likely and skipping all 3 possible. Just need to get lucky to get the strath and andorhal ones.

Bottom line is, beating the scenario within the time allotted can't be done by simply bashing your head against it.
Even with fully researched Chromie talents you do have to know what you are doing and why.
Unless you are lucky and optimize your route heavily, you won't be able to complete the scenario in time minutes until after you unlock majority of the talents.

What I did was grind enough rep to unlock the t6 talent from the get go (takes couple hours at most if you specifically target rep in sands of time), then just went there to start researching the next talent (this takes about a week if you slack with the research as I did) and then the scenario shouldn't take you more than couple attempts to complete not only in time, but within the 15 minutes bonus quest (which, afaik, doesn't actually grant anything anyway).

finished it Day 2/3, farm rep

[Osmeric]

I took the "ignore intro quest" shortcut.

[Wyrt]

It was way too easy and I got it done on the first day without having any of the later talents. It should have at least required the talents to complete.

[Bisso]

It's actually a good design. It's meant to be that the first few time you go in there, you feel like it's impossible without extreme luck and knowing some way to cheese encounters or something. Then you realize that Chromie's talents plays the major part of of ease. The fact that the second time around, you don't need to clear the whole shrines but only go for the boss kill. You realise that there are chest in each shrines that with Chromies talent, have a high chance to clear instantly another shrine or even make you skip a timegate, which is the biggest time saver. When you gonna finish it, you will find out you still had like 5 minutes to go, because you probably just killed 1 shrine boss and 1 timegate boss.

Give me your account info man i will do it for you!

[Typhoria]

It's mostly RNG with skips + hoping Chromie isn't retarded and sits in AoE.

[FelPlague]

beat it with only like 4 of the researches

[MrLachyG]

oh go buy some wrong items from the veiled argunite vendor or something and git gud.

[darkeror]

a lot of people including me have beaten it within like 2 hours with the first 2 talents, so i actually thought it was kinda troll topic at first -_-

[schwarzkopf]

I didn't find it hard as much as boring... same three spots, farm farm farm for no benefit for ages. So I just stopped out of boredom rather than difficulty.
