I know that, but you missed my whole point again.

You don't need good awakes? I have to wait for my proc? Are you sure about that? Have you tried running without any suitable awake gears or running with players who do not have good awakes or gears? Because it sounds to me that you have not. You've only had the luxury to run with OP party. Try running Hedo with so-called 'don't need good awakes' gears and let me know how it goes for you.

The same thing could be said with EZG. The only 'strategy' there is saving your armor proc for the boss room and having enough damage to clear 1 room by yourself. There's nothing to fancy about that. Warriors just have to clear the boss room and wait for the DPS dealers to come and finish the boss. How is that high IQ-level gameplay?

Despite knowing most of good wars and rogs, they're not always online when I want to run - and I'm not the only person who's complaining that many good wars/rogs are actually offline and can't enter to farm now. Well, rogs are probably in the worst situation, cause the number of rogs who can actually run gauntlet is higher than number of wars and (especially) mages who can run gaunt.
Trial and error. The problem here is that you set high standards for your parties in order to have high efficiency, that's why it takes you a while to find a party (which I don't blame you for that because I too want to have fast and consistent runs). But again, this is not the point of my original post.

He is not lying though. It is also boring gameplay. IMO, the only thing that makes it interesting is the efficiency of farming gold drops (but that's just me).

That's understandable that you are selective with your party. I understand that completely.

Not entirely true. Playing innocent and saying that all of your interactions are in a joking manner is just false. Furthermore, my IGN not being there on top LB does not mean I am unable to reach high waves. If you reach LB, then that's good for you. Anyone can do it with the right gear, knowledge, and time. I am not saying your efforts were pointless in reaching LB but belittling someone just because you don't see their name in LB is again another arrogant and small pp energy to prove a point. Just sayin'.

I ran all of these 3 maps and I know mechanics for all of these 3 maps lol (I laughed when I seen u wrote that I run only gaunt, completely not knowing that I was running raha all the time back then and that I'm running hedo when gaunt is closed).
1 hedo run with chests and remap with good party is actually about 50s (i think that 45s would be possible with very op party). That would mean that 1 raha run with chests and remaps is 20s - which it isn't - even gauntlet isn't that fast. Didn't run raha for a bit, but I'm pretty sure that total raha run with chests and remap is closer to 40s than 20s. Completing 1 gauntlet wave (18s one) takes 25 or 26s in total with waiting for next wave - so it's not 3-4 times faster than elite rahab.
By saying same mechanics I meant that both bosses have 3 phases (ignoring mini on raha) - should write just mechanic, whatever.
Oh yes, hedo can punish you with his mechanics when you fail your phase (same as raha), but if you actually have at least 2k stat and can wait a while (or no need to wait if you have good gear) - you'll rarely fsil that map.
Gaunt portal 24/7 - funny thing that actually strategy for current maps is usually found first by me and people around me (or only them, for example, I actually started farming at the moment when raha strategy was actually discovered, whole point is that they still prefer to farm gaunt if all of the maps are opened at once).
If you get less gold in hedo than elite raha it means that either you or your pt have mid gear (hedo has better POTENTIAL) or you just can't run hedo properly.
The only thing I got from here is your mechanic's calculation is more believable than Mr. Woon's. The problem here is that you've not run Rahab for a bit. You've said it yourself. So you really do not know how it works now. It takes 22-30 seconds to finish a Rahab run (this is with different parties btw[remapping not included]); gauntlet you can do faster. Even HBBD said it himself. EZG is better.

Furthermore, saying that all strategies and tactics are discovered by you and the people around you is also a weird thing to say. Almost very narcissistic and arrogant. Do you just assume that the rest of the player base is dumb?

Also, please stop derailing the subject of the original post. What I mean here is I am not here to compare who's better and who's not. I am not here to compare genitalia sizes.

Thank you.
