Whatever we use ice shower/ga gravity/wh stuns and crowd skills /vg root or spear sweep mobs after effects fade just ignore all the aggro and go straight to barrels . Like wtf
And barrels hp are worse than ice gauntlet pylon hp. Even pylon can sustain more dmg
Idk how it even work. Sometimes it work normally mobs go back to who have aggro
sometimes mobs just ignore aggro
And go straight to barrels and camp there
Totally agree! I have my own post about this… I’m ok with difficult mechanics, but the mechanics need to be consistent.
I wasted many entries because of that parties just gave up and leave the expedition
There is an exploit (? or maybe its build on purpose), that most of the gold groups are using:
After a few tries, the enemies stop rushing to the barrels.
So you let the enemies kill the barrel a few times without defending it, until you see, that a wave comes in slowly.
Its quite simple like that…
I noticed that usually after 3-4 tries. But still it’s waste of time. What frustrated me is the way they made it to be semi impossible to do it in normal way
So they altered the agro mechanics with the barrels with the release of BS update. Previously once agro’ed they would stay agro’ed on their target. Now you can do this but if they switch agro target, they will run to the barrel before their new target. Usually a grav well/Ice shower (or any form of stun/root) into a tanks taunt should suffice for each wave but if the tank loses agro of any, they will target the barrel so beware.
I do think the barrels are more challenging now compare to before though
Hope this helps somewhat
