Many players are eagerly awaiting the pre-patch for WoW TBC Classic Anniversary, which will be released on January 13th. It will include an easier and simpler character leveling process and significantly reduced challenge content, allowing both new players and loyal fans to enjoy a brand new experience.
In particular, the dungeons, which have undergone numerous improvements, are highly praised by players for their combat and high loot drop rates. However, some players have stated that, like other expansions, a perfect team composition is an important prerequisite for getting the best dungeon experience in TBC Classic.
Therefore, based on feedback from players who have entered PTR, this section will list the best team setup for running all dungeons in this new expansion. Although the official version will be released 2-4 weeks after the pre-patch, it’s always good to be prepared in advance.
Before we begin introducing the best team setup, there is an important point to keep in mind: your team must include a healer who can cast Resurrection spell, which can increase your team’s survivability and allows you to tackle more challenging encounters without being forced to retreat.
Among the classes capable of fulfilling this role, Shaman, Paladin, and Priest are all solid choices, each offering unique support abilities and utility that can complement your team’s strategy.
It is important, however, to avoid substituting these classes with a Druid solely for their tanky, as your team will need to spend more time recovering and healing after each encounter. In practical terms, this means fewer opportunities to engage in combat and slower overall progress.
If you’re really worried, you can prepare some items to increase their maximum health or recovery abilities during combat, such as specific potions and armor. When the official version is released, EZG.com will provide corresponding guides for all players, so you can keep track of it then.
Based on feedback from most players, the groups that run dungeons most easily in WoW TBC Anniversary expansion are those focused on powerful melee attacks, so they will be introduced here.
While Druids cannot be healers, they can serve as tanks in this setup, especially Feral Druids, whose Leader of the Pack talent provides Warriors with a 5% critical strike chance bonus, one of the most essential attributes for DPS.
The healer recommends Shaman, not only because Windfury Totem can help teammates deal more damage to enemies, but also because its Reincarnation spell can revive the entire team, even if Shaman dies. As for DPS, you can choose any three specializations that have extremely high damage output, like Warriors.
This team setup is a variation of the previous one, replacing the regular Shaman with an Enhancement Shaman. This gives the team more powerful Improved Weapon Totems, further enhancing the melee effectiveness of Windfury Totem and Flametongue Totem possessed by this specialization.
Although the shaman is no longer considered a healer on this team, the damage increase buff provided by its Unleashed Rage spell will still be activated with each critical hit, so you can consider it as a secondary healer.
For both DPS characters, I still recommend Warriors; they’re unlikely to disappoint. If you’re looking to rack up some WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Gold and get loot faster in dungeons, consider swapping in a Rogue. Their sap and blind spells provide excellent crowd control and a variety of stun skills for the whole team.
Of course, many players will enjoy seeing low- to mid-level enemies struggle under the constant barrage of control skills that their team can unleash in the early stages of the game. In such cases, this team setup becomes an excellent choice.
It combines the high strength of Feral Druids with the powerful control abilities of Hunter, allowing you to easily take control of the battle, especially with Freezing Trap Spell. If your hunter focuses on ranged attacks, even better: Trueshot Aura Talent can be activated, doubling the single-target damage of that specialization.
You can also switch Hunter to Paladin, whose Blessing of Might amplifies the damage output of this DPS class to the extreme. Furthermore, Blessing of Protection in this class provides a shield to all members, which can temporarily act as a raid healing spell.
In extremely dire combat situations, this class can use Divine Intervention to sacrifice itself in exchange for providing the healer with up to 3 minutes of protection. The remaining DPS can be selected according to the dungeon your team is going to enter, such as specializing in a particular damage type or a spell specialization that can be used as supplementary damage.
The above is a recommended team setup for easily exploring dungeons in WoW TBC Classic Anniversary expansion. Of course, these setups may change with pre-patch and official game releases, but the core principles remain the same: one tank, one healer, and three DPS; the rest can be customized. Have fun playing!
A new week has arrived, although Week 11 Trials reset a couple of days ago. However, I know that as an experienced ARC Raiders player, you'd probably wait a day or two to start to avoid encountering those strong opponents.
Now is almost the perfect time to log in and show off your skills in Week 11 Trials; any later and it might be too late. This week's trials are a bit tough, but don't worry, I'll be there to help.
Below, I'll detail the challenges of Week 11 Trials and teach you how to achieve a three-star rating.
The first trial this week is Damage Snitches. It's best to complete it during a special map mod that provides double XP, allowing you to get a three-star rating by destroying only about seven Snitches.
You can go to the top of Departure or Arrival buildings on the west side of Spaceport map. These high ground positions offer excellent visibility, allowing you to spot informants from a distance and minimize your own exposure, making it easier to eliminate Snitches in a safe environment.
For this trial, you'll need to bring high-damage ranged weapons such as Renegade, Anvil, or Ferro. This will allow you to eliminate Snitches before they call for reinforcements. Focus on attacking their weak points, indicated by the white panels; destroying just two will cause them to fall.
Also, just in case, you can bring some Lure Grenade, which will not only prevent Snitches from calling for reinforcements but also distract other enemies.
Yes, it's snowball throwing again! Many players struggled with this last week, but don't worry, this week's challenge is much easier than Week 10, as Bastions are easier to hit with snowballs.
During Cold Snap, you'll need to find snowdrifts with branches on the map and collect around 25-30 snowballs to prepare. While you only need to hit about 20, having extra is always good.
It's recommended to complete this challenge on The Blue Gate map, as the underground Traffic Tunnel there frequently spawns Bastions, and it also protects you from frostbite.
You can start by attacking Bastions, aiming at their yellow joints to disable their legs and stun them. This is the perfect time to throw snowballs. Alternatively, you can find tall buildings for cover and occasionally peek out to throw snowballs at it, being careful not to be tracked by Bastions.
This challenge is related to the previous one, so you can combine the two to complete. To get a three-star rating in this challenge, you need to destroy a Bastion at full health without taking heavy damage yourself. To check if a Bastion is at full health, look for damage or black smoke; a newly spawned Bastion is ideal.
Locations where you can quickly find Bastions:
You can use Deadline Mine in combination with a Lure Grenade to kill it. First, throw a grenade behind Bastions to lure it around, then quickly place Deadline Mine on it and find cover to leave quickly. The explosion will instantly destroy it.
If you don't have mines, you can also use heavy weapons, like Anvil or Renegade I mentioned earlier. Bastions' weak point is the yellow core on its back. You can focus your attacks on its legs to stun it, allowing you to reach the core.
This is probably the hardest challenge of the week. It seems like you only need to search a few Supply Drops, but you have to fire a flare through Supply Station to call it in. This not only reveals your location and attracts other looters, but Supply Drops also take some time to land.
Buried City is the best map for this challenge because its enclosed terrain makes it easy for players to reach different supply drop points. While tracking Supply Drops, pay attention to the yellow flares in the sky; they will mark the drop locations for you.
You can also search for Supply Drops called by other players, because even if you weren't the first to call, collecting the dropped crates will still advance your trial. With enough patience, you can complete the mission quickly.
This trial challenge is probably the easiest this week. You need to collect 14 plants during events that grant double XP. However, note that not all plant types count towards your progress. You only need to collect the following:
You can go to areas with high plant density to complete the mission quickly:
You can speed up your mission completion by combining searches across multiple areas on the map.
With these tips and strategies, you should be able to successfully complete Week 11 Trials and earn generous rewards. Get ready, familiarize yourself with all the map environments, and good luck with your trials!
Some of the challenges in Week 11 Trials are quite difficult and require a high gear level. If you haven't acquired sufficiently powerful gear in the new Expedition, you can buy reliable ARC Raiders items in EZG to help you complete this week's trials smoothly.
As one of Huntress's Ascendancy Classes in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0, Amazon, as a master of life and power, is capable of dealing high critical strike damage.
Furthermore, with the enhancements to Unique items in Patch 0.4.0, Cold Bow Amazon build has become one of the most powerful endgame builds for Huntress class. This build utilizes the powerful synergy between frost and physical damage, maximizing damage output through freezing and critical strikes.
In the latest patch, it can easily one-shot high-level bosses and achieve over 50 million DPS with Snipe ability. This build is definitely a great choice for players looking to challenge the endgame content.
Below, I will introduce you to the detailed information about Cold Bow Amazon build. If you are also a player aspiring to a powerful endgame build, then you definitely can't miss this guide.
The core skill of Cold Bow Amazon build is Snipe, which unleashes a powerful arrow that explodes upon impact, dealing critical damage. Combined with Ice Shot and Kadira's Gambit, it allows for wide-area clearing of enemies, enabling rapid map clearing.
Finally, utilizing Evasion, an energy shield, and Amazon's lifesteal mechanics grants exceptional mobility and survivability, allowing for sustained damage output on the battlefield.
This build already performed well in patch 0.3, but it struggled against endgame and high-level bosses. However, PoE 2 patch 0.4.0, with its enhancements to certain gear and skills and adjustments to some gear, allows Cold Bow Amazon build to reach its optimal performance.
The most significant upgrade to this build is replacing the previous Essentia Sanguis Furtive Wraps gloves with Sine Aequo Grand Manchettes. This allows for faster enemy freezing, significantly improving the freezing mechanism. Only 50% freeze value is needed to freeze an enemy, instead of the previous 100%.
It also increases the damage taken by immobilized enemies by 20%, further boosting your damage output. Therefore, you only need two to three freeze attacks to freeze almost all bosses, greatly improving team combat efficiency.
For rings, you should prioritize those that increase physical and frost damage bonuses to optimize the damage output of Snipe and Ice Shot.
Mystic Harvest, as one of Amazon's key skills, aims to achieve Life Leech effect. It allows both physical and elemental damage to participate in Life Leech, ensuring high survivability during map exploration and boss battles.
Therefore, we also need to ensure that one ring provides Life Leech buff, allowing us to maintain our health during high-damage battles.
While Cadiro's Gambit Primed Quiver is excellent for clearing maps, Visceral Quiver is the best choice for high-level bosses, increasing our attack critical strike chance by 20%-30%.
You can also consume PoE 2 currency to roll suitable gear affixes for Visceral Quiver, such as those that increase projectile speed, Snipe and Ice Shot damage, and physical or frost damage. This will significantly improve your Snipe output and ensure that Ice Shot stacks are maximized.
Obliterator Bow is one of the best choices for this build, providing high physical damage, good base hit rating, and higher critical strike chance.
You can choose to equip affixes that increase hit rating, physical damage, and attack speed to maximize our damage output.
Besides the above, you can freely choose the remaining shoes or armor, etc., to match according to your preferred build effects. You can choose some that increase movement speed or defensive attributes.
Since we've mentioned that the core of this build revolves around Snipe and Ice Shot, our skill gems will primarily be socketed for these two skills. Additionally, you can pair them with Freezing Salvo to increase your attack range.
Next, we'll need to equip these skills with suitable Supports gems to optimize their effectiveness.
First, Ice Shot. Its Supports Gems include the following:
Make sure you use Nova Projectiles I, as many players have found their skill cooldowns increased after using Nova Projectiles II.
Next is Snipe. To increase critical hit rate and critical hit damage, we need to socket the following Support Gems:
Once fully equipped, it not only delivers very consistent critical hits and damage but also achieves nearly 100% critical hit rate.
Freezing Salvo converts physical damage into frost damage and also expands the damage area to enhance the freezing effect. It requires the following Support Gems:
These are all to increase our frost damage.
Finally, here's the passive skill tree for our Cold Bow Amazon build. You can unlock these node attributes:
This concludes the main information about Cold Bow Amazon build in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0. If you want to perform exceptionally well in endgame, give this build a try.
In Diablo 4 Season 11, Paladin remains the most popular and widely used class among players, boasting powerful physical and Holy damage capable of one-shotting enemies.
Judgement Paladin build fully utilizes Paladin’s strong defensive capabilities and sustained damage output. This build is incredibly fast for clearing content, capable of completing The Pit in just over a minute. It’s one of the top-tier builds in terms of power.
Furthermore, this build continuously increases your damage output, making you stronger and stronger as you play. It can demonstrate absolute dominance in any environment.
This guide breaks down how to build a Judgement Paladin to help you perform better in the endgame.
Judgement Paladin build is designed for clearing maps and eliminating enemies. Whether facing hordes of low-level bosses or tackling challenging Helltide, Legion Events, The Pit, and Nightmare Dungeons, it can handle them with ease.
It can easily deliver effective and incredibly powerful damage, and thanks to skills like Fanaticism Aura and Bless Shield, it acts like a tireless bomber, automatically attacking enemies.
However, its drawbacks are also evident. This build requires high-level gear and skills, and because it requires actively judging enemies in the game, you need to frequently click skills to trigger the judgment. However, once you witness its powerful damage output, this minor flaw becomes insignificant.
The main skills of this build are Holy Bolt and Fanaticism Aura. In the game, you need to continuously cast Holy Bolt, which deals 90% damage to enemies; then use its modifier, Ricocheting Bolt, to trigger three bounces, thereby activating Shield of Justice, and using Bless Shield to detonate the judgment for additional damage output.
Bless Shield will also transform into an auto-targeting skill because of the synergy with other skills, detonating all targets within your surrounding area. After clearing the obstacles in your path, we then use Fanaticism Aura to deal high damage to bosses and kill them when necessary.
As the game progresses, your strength and damage will continuously increase due to skill upgrades. Therefore, when creating this endgame build, we no longer solely focus on maximizing damage, but prioritize stacking more speed to allow your build to cast skills faster.
For gear choices, we focus on speed for rings and gloves. That’s why we pick Seal of the Second Trumpet and Aspect of the Judicator, which reduce cooldowns and can occasionally deal double damage.
For armor, we chose Shroud of False Death, which provides double critical strike damage, and if you don’t deal damage for 2 seconds, it will also increase your movement speed by 40% on your next attack.
For the offhand, we chose Aspect of the Golden Hour, which makes your Judgment deal 100% extra damage and also trigger other skills. Here is the complete equipment list:
Seal of the Second Trumpet is relatively difficult to obtain compared to other equipment. You can repeatedly farm Ladder Bosses and Uber Bosses to obtain it, or you can find it in chests found in Helltide.
For several important skills, we added Modifiers to increase your critical strike damage. For Fanaticism Aura, we added Enhanced Fanaticism and Rite of Vengeance; for Holy Bolt, we added Enhanced Holy Bolt and Ricocheting Bolt.
It’s also worth noting that if your Arbiter of Justice duration is shorter than its cooldown, you can invest more points in Dizzying Blow to gain more damage. This build requires constant attention to the duration and cooldowns of all your skills, as you need to stack more skills before the cooldown or duration ends. Here is the complete list of skills you need:
We need more attack speed and higher damage on Paragon Board, so Preacher is definitely the best choice. It increases your skill attack speed by 15% and increases your damage by 65%, so be sure to choose it. In addition, Castle, Shield Bearer, Exploit, and Endure can further increase your damage on top of your existing skills.
Besides Paragon Nodes, we have also added Paragon Glyphs to this build. The nodes surrounding Glyphs usually provide more damage.
Here are Paragon Glyphs I recommend. The upgrade order doesn’t matter much, but first upgrade them to level 15, then upgrade each Glyph to level 46, and finally upgrade them to level 100. This will complete your Judgement Paladin build.
This concludes the introduction to Judgement Paladin build, including its uses, advantages and disadvantages, and the required equipment and skill points. Although it requires many and complex Diablo 4 items, believe me, it’s well worth trying in D4 Season 11!
Since its release, ARC Raiders has been very popular with players, especially after the recent Cold Snap update, with many players enjoying the challenging gameplay in the snowy maps. Although it contains many high-risk, but also high-value rewards.
Have you started participating in these battles yet? If not, here’s a reminder: be sure to prepare items that provide high damage and high defense, such as enhanced weapons, which will give you a huge advantage in every battle you encounter.
Of course, crafting or acquiring these high-level weapons requires you to have the exclusive Augment Blueprints, which are scattered throughout the game world and require careful searching. Otherwise, you may very well miss out on it and the best opportunity to improve your role.
Therefore, this guide will introduce the detailed functions and specific locations of each Augment Blueprint in the current ARC Raiders, as well as some acquisition strategies. Trust me, this will definitely help you achieve twice the results with half the effort!
Currently, there are 5 types of Augment Blueprints in ARC Raiders, all of which are epic-level items in the game. Although their names all end with Mk. 3, each blueprint has a completely different effect. Their specific names and functions are:
Combat Mk. 3 (Flanking) is a combat augment that focuses on mobility rather than damage absorption. Its effect is to increase the equip speed of unequipped or holstered pistols and hand cannons by 33%. It is compatible with light shields, has a weight limit of 60kg, weighs 3kg itself, and costs 5000 ARC Raiders coins.
Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive) is an improved version of Combat II augment, it increases grenade storage space. Its effect is to restore 2 health to you every 5 seconds; this effect is paused for 30 seconds when taking damage. It is compatible with light, medium, and heavy shields, has a weight limit of 65kg, weighs 5kg itself, and costs 5000 coins.
Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor) is a heavy-duty carrying aid with high carrying capacity and large backpack space. Its effect is that when downed and remaining still, health can be restored up to 75% of the maximum health at the time of being downed, which can help you a lot in some dangerous combat. It is compatible with light and medium shields, has a weight limit of 80kg, weighs 4kg itself, and costs 5000 Arc Raiders coins.
Tactical Mk. 3 (Defensive) is a defense-oriented augment used to maintain sufficient shield power. Its effect allows the use of Shield Rechargers while sprinting. It is compatible with all types shields, and has a weight limit of 60kg, weighs 5kg itself, and costs 5000 coins.
Tactical Mk. 3 (Healing) is a healing-focused augment that increases the number of available healing item slots. Its effect is that upon being revived from a downed state, it releases a healing cloud that restores 20 health over 10 seconds; it has a 30-second cooldown. It is compatible with light and medium shields, has a weight limit of 55kg, weighs 4kg itself, and needs 5000 game coins.
Like all blueprints in Arc Raiders, the drop rate of Augment Blueprints is completely random, and even the same player may not get it in the same area twice in a row on the same map.
However, through extensive testing by some players, it has been found that these ARC Raiders Items have a higher chance of appearing in certain areas or POIs: namely, Medical areas, which usually appear in the following locations:
In the locations above, black boxes, cabinets, and blue drawers are your main focus, as they have a very high probability of containing Augment Blueprints. Additionally, exploring these maps during Night Raid, Locked Gate, Electromagnetic Storm, and Cold Snap events will significantly increase your chances of finding these important items.
Alternatively, focus on Reinforced Reception area in Blue Gate, which currently has the highest drop rate for augment and medical item blueprints in the entire game. However, be aware that this area has become a highly contested zone; be mindful of other real players who are also on important scavenging missions and try to avoid them.
If you want stronger character combat abilities fast, you can easily buy ARC Raiders items on EZG.com to obtain any high-damage weapon and high-resistance shield. The above details all the categories of Augment Blueprints in ARC Raiders and how to obtain them. Although they are rare, believe me, they are definitely worth the effort to find, as they are crucial for your later game progression.
