Joined a full party to T2 to night. I forgot to check gear and entered with Cutter and Blaster. Would have used Tempered Calibur instead.
It's 3 guys with wolver coat and cap. They used a hot edge, vile striker and tempered calibur. They didn't use other weapons much, except one guy with an autogun.
They attacked rather recklessly... died a few times on the way down. And then there was a danger room. They decided to enter, so I followed. It was a fire-themed room with oilers... and no surprise here, we all died plenty of times, reviving with HP only.
At one point I was the only one left... I cleared the blocks surrounding the arena, then ran and shoot. I was at one point killed all but the lichen boss, but then a lot of red cubes and oiler spawned. I didn't know if that's the boss' power or part of the waves.
When I was able I fetched a heart and revived them.
Then it went downhill again... they wouldn't stay a group and run and shoot, and instead went melee again. Enemies were drawn into different directions blocking my path many times. I died and was revived with energy. While laying on the ground they revived with energy and I told them how to kite (they were melee'ing the crowd and shooting with autogun).
When I finally killed all but the boss, they revived with energy again and finished the fight.
Then I switched to Snarble (they said there'll be wolvers and constructs ahead), and we did one more level (poison, construct + wolver), then they ran out of energy. I went on alone in an Auora level. I blasted some jellys, but died when I was in a long, narrow room, on a group button, and 4 wolvers and 3 lumbers spawned. I didn't even have a chance to run.
I can almost make it through T2 now... when CE price drops further (now 6100), I'll craft dusker coat and elemental hood, followed by horned owlite and master blaster.
