Before we discuss the loadouts and the strategy to execute the fight properly, let’s establish a baseline first for how the mechanics work and the roles of this fight altogether. The critical thing to note here is that if you’ve completed the previous encounters in the raid, then this entire ordeal against Nezarec would seem pretty familiar. Lastly, Warlocks will be the most important class for the fight as their Well of Radiance super will buff the fire team’s weapon damage along with their Starfire Protocol armor providing endless fusion grenades.įinal Encounter Mechanics Explanation The encounter arena (Image Captured by Us).Hunters can get away by using either the Celestial Nighthawk with their Golden Gun or the brand-new Thread runner strand subclass.The Best subclass for the Titans in this encounter is easily the Thundercrash due to its high burst damage.If players are looking to clear heaps of trash mob around the arena as fast as possible, then they can use weapons such as the Funnelweb SMG or the Forebearence grenade launcher.
The Best weapons for DPS in the fight can range from popular exotics such as Thunderlord and Gjallarhorn in the heavy slot as well as legendary guns too such as Hothead with perks such as Vorpal Weapon. Players can DPS the boss from any of the nearby platforms and must ensure they can take him down during the last stand, which will wipe them if Nezarec isn’t killed quickly enough. If players are late in connecting the Nodes, they will have to mitigate the instant death wipe phase by gathering either the Light or Darkness refuge buff to withstand Nezarec’s explosive attack. Secondly, controlling Nezarec’s Hatred gaze by shooting his weak points is important as it will delay the wipe mechanic but will make it so that he targets a specific guardian for a few seconds. The first mechanic revolves around designating two members of the fire team to connect the Light and dark nodes around the arena to initiate the DPS cycle on Nezarec. The Nezarec, God of Pain, is the final encounter of the Root of Nightmares raid, and it tests the ultimate synergy between all six fire team members with its mechanics.
