Torghast's Twisting Corridors Now Available

Considering I only go in the maw for the weekly quests and the two layer 6 Torghast runs for the ash and still I HATE the entire process, I will entirely and happily skip the corridors until I will be ilvl 400.

The 2nd boss was really tough for me. 3rd was hard too but the extra hp helped a lot. It was nowhere near the cakewalk I thought it would be for being layer 1. I'm ilvl 205 by the way. Not super high but not low by any means either.

I first did it on my BM hunter alt in the 190ilvls range. Only issue or death I had was a trap I didn't pay attention to.

It will be hundreds of hours of time in there for most people to get the mount... in terms of saving time, it will be quicker to walk around the maw than to get the mount

It will take more than 3 x longer than a normal Torghast because - in effect - the 18 floors of layer 1 are like normal 1 + normal 2 + normal 3 (not 3 lots of normal 1).

Wow. And not soloable i guess for layer 8 even in tank spec. Hard pass.
Even as a druid i am already skipping the Maw. But just wanted the mount for the collection. No reason doing this now.

I actually like torghast for its ridiculous anima powers and interested in the possibility of stacking them through 18 floors with all Venari buffs instead of the standard 6 floor setup where the whole craze is cut-short in reaching 6th floor with its boss.

Though I hate the maw and its artificial Eye-of-the-jailer gating mechanism.

Made me chuckle

That's all the rewards we can get from Torghast? Skipping. I wanted a similar reward system to Island Expeditions to make it worth going back and back again.

Id love to do it, if i could not be booted out after 3min each time.

Yeah did first rank of twisting corridors as prot pala. Got to last boss. Had the tree bastard as last boss but cant do anything about the crush ability he has. The damage just ramp up and i die because cant stun him on every cast and its a room wide aoe. Sometimes i wish there was someone to slap these devs around when they come up with this kind of shit when they are still brainstorming

Not available if you are in the EU

Just have to note that some people have completed this at layer 8 already, so there's hope for us at some point in the future. Layer 1 as 200ish prot pala was okish. Definetelly steep increase in difficulty after floor 16.

Managed to finish all 8 layers on my Arms Warr this afternoon solo (197 itlvl) layers 7 and 8 felt like a massive jump in difficulty compared to the previous 6. It was a slog and layer 8 probably took an hour and a half by itself. I'd highly recommend resetting 7 or 8 if you start with Soul Forges, that ticking debuff is gnarly to start with but naturally becomes easier to deal with later on with more powers.

For Warrs, pretty self explanatory: Condemn buffs + knockdown, DbtS buff with souls so it lasts forever, HP boosts and passive regen as an added bonus

An added note, the quality of your run will largely depend on how quickly you get your ideal/bis powers, as by floor 8-10 you'll have basically everything and be drowning in phantasma. I found the starts of higher floors much sketchier and I generally had to be much more methodical in how I took each pack until I was decked out.

HAHAHA available....in EU everyone gets kicked out them now after 30 secs....

How long did it take you to complete all 144 floors?

The +50% powers stack up to 3, mawrat spices is +100% hp at 50 stacks (and the power itself also stacks, though I don't know what's the limit on that one), so I still had some ways to go. In my last run I also stumbled upon some rare mob power that gave a hefty HP increase as well, but I can't recall the name right now. If you get this Warlock power at first floor by the end your VW will probably have more health than the boss and do more damage than you.

And if you're Affliction and get a few stacks of the power that allows you to spam Malefic Rupture non-stop and then get a few stacks of the power that gives you stacking bonus to Shadow Bolt/Drain Soul, where the power itself also stacks to at least 5, leading to +10000% Drain Soul damage, you will also get a Drain Soul of doom.

In case you did not have the chance to try it yourself:

The buff is capped at 500%. Which is still HUGE. Also you get it pretty much every run, often after the 6. floor. My pet (felguard) solo entire floors with me just pulling. Combined with the powers you mentioned the guard had 3.3 million life at the final boss (speaking layer two). The buff dropped a few times because I died (don't try to jump flame traps, even with 250k HP) and because the buff resets while traveling through the portals of Mort'egar, but since only 5 floors are required to bring it back to full, it was always ready when I needed it.

It is incredibly easy with this power, but even without it WL's seem super strong.

I took a break after layer 7 because the end boss nearly gave me a heart attack, but collectively around 6-7 hours.

My arms warrior friend already breezed through all the layers in the span of a few hours. For myself, initially, I only just managed to get through layer1 before the tree boss would've crushed me. Progressing the upper layers, I've found that it really sucks to spend two hours getting up to floor 18 only for the floor boss to two-shot you in the space of a GCD. I'm just going to park it for the foreseeable future I think

I was super disappointed to see that they capped it after 5 floors/500%

We aren't talking about normal torghast runs. Twisted Corridor is a completely different beast. "I first did it" tells me you didn't know this just came out yesterday.

Just finished the quest one and yeah, it's a major bummer that it's capped. I still managed to gets it's HP to to 1.7M with just one copy of mawrat spices, only 4 or 5 HP obleron anima powers and no rare anima power that gave HP. I had about 8 Dreadstalkers, 10 Demonic Tyrants and a swarm of Wild Imps on the last boss (completely forgot about Grimoire Felguard I got from extra talent anima power though), while my one Shadow Bolt dealt a million damage. Fun times.

Dull, boring, annoying...and working as intended.
