Tempest Keep values from Corecraft Test Server #19

Open KimmoKM opened 7 years ago

KimmoKM commented 7 years ago

"Educated Guess" values have been recorded from Corecraft test server which isn't a primary source (credit for that research goes to NiM and Shiro). However, when I've tried to verify some of their values now and in the past, they've come out pretty much right and in my opinion are preferable to any guessed values and can be used for the time being until primary sources are studied.

For now I'm just trying to establish plausible values for the mobs by recording whatever numbers Corecraft has. Documenting (pre-nerf) fight mechanics is beyond the scope of this post and as far as I'm concerned, should always be based on retail evidence rather than trying to replicate Corecraft. Bosses may have higher health than values I can verify from primary sources. That may represent state before from when raids were still wiping, or it might be custom tuning. In the case of TK specifically, 2.1 patch notes mention all non-boss mobs, Al'ar and Solarian having their health reduced but it's well-known Blizzard tweaked T5 during progression so there may have been any number of undocumented nerfs or other changes.

Mob Damage Health Mana Abilities Immunities Source Comments
Bloodwarder Legionnaire 9400-13400 332450 0 Dual Wield, Bloodthirst for 120% damage and restoring 380-420 health, Cleave for 110% damage (on next swing), Channelled whirlwind for +120 Can be CCd and snared Educated Guess Bestiary 2.3 values for damage are 5750-8133 and health for 179525. Lower health is no surprise because that nerf is documented in patch notes (the exact difference of course isn't known). There's no patch notes about damage, but seeing as that it's barely higher than Bonechewer Raveners in Ramparts even on Corecraft and lower than that on Bestiary. It's undocumented, but in my mind it makes it seem more plausible that Blizzard did nerf the trash prior to 2.1 because this isn't tough tuning at all. I'll just record values from remaining trash mobs and let this act as a sanity check in case anyone's interested or wants to use it as a data point for reversing custom tuning for trash that there might or might not be
Star Scryer 6200-8800 265925 32310 Domination, Arcane Blast for 3500-4500, Starfall for 1900-2100 Can be sheeped, trapped and snared, immune to stuns, Curse of Tongues and MC Educated Guess N/A

Bloodwarder Marshal 11400-15400 546700 0 Dual Wield, Channelled Whirlwind for +736, Uppercut for +250, Bloodthirst for 120% and healing 380-420 Immune Educated Guess N/A

Astromancer 5400-7800 265925 32310 Molten Armor, Fireball Volley for 2125-2875, Fire Blast for 2700-3300, Blast Wave for 2400-2700 Can be CCd and snared. Immune to stuns, tongues and MC Educated Guess N/A
Phoenix-Hawk 15200-21000 1025000 0 Dive for 1850-2150 (cast at further player), Wing Buffet for 1800-2200, Mana Burn for 1900-2100 Immune Educated Guess N/A
Tempest Falconer 9400-13200 (melee), 3300-4500 (shoot) 332450 16155 Fire Shield for 523-577, Knockback, Immolation Arrow for 3700-4300 and DoT for unknown damage Educated Guess N/A
Phoenix-Hawk Hatchling 5700-8200 129370 0 Silence, Wing Buffet for 1575-2025 Educated Guess N/A
Al'ar 15800-22000 3377421 (verified), 4552800 (CC) 0 Flame Buffet for 1750-2250 and stacking debuff for 10% fire damage taken, Flame Quills for 6562-8438, Meteor for roughly 150-160k (split between all units, including snake trap), Melt Armor, Rebirth for 4375-5625, Flame Patch for 2187-2812 and stacking debuff for 10% fire damage taken Immune Educated Guess, 1, 2, 3 Addon-guessed health seen in Forte video (post-nerf is 2.1M). Forte video also provides the best inference for Dive Bomb damage (first bomb with what appears to be one pet and no snake traps is 5916*26=153816. Wowwiki before 2.1 claims 158k. 150-160k damage range seems plausible and Corecraft values go down to 150k. I could see hits of up to 7.2k in pre-nerf videos so unless Kungen was too shit to keep shield block up at 100 rage and got crushed (in which case the real damage should be lower), the damage range is more-or-less correct
Ember of Al'ar 2750-3900 139720 0 Ember Blast for 7000-9000 upon death ? 1, 2 I can't find visible explosion damage numbers at cursory glance but it's the same as pre-2.1 Wowhead values and matches retail Wowhead values using /1.8 conversion. Melee damage is in the correct order of magnitude based on hit against Awake, a paladin. Health is the same as one listed in Wowhead
Crystalcore Devastator 13800-19400 1025000 0 Countercharge for 1497-1653 and counterspell component for 4050-4950, Charged Arcane Explosion for 5550-6450, Knock Away for 4000 Immune Educated Guess, 1 A rare data point for pre-2.1 tuning of trash which supports significantly increased health for other mobs as well. Comment includes information about functionality of countercharge. Datamining also includes "Powered down" which sounds like an interaction with Crystalcore mechanics or Tempest-Smiths but I don't know about the functionality
Crystalcore Sentinel 12000-17000 615000 0 Charged Arcane Explosion for 5550-6450, Overcharge for 14250-15750 (reflectable), Trample for melee damage, Powered down Immune Educated Guess The removal of trample mentioned in 2.1 patch notes
Tempest-Smith 9800-13200 359050 0 Fragmentation Bomb for 2150-2850, Shell Shock for 2975-4025, Power Up, Golem Repair Vulnerable to all CC, including MC Educated Guess The functionality of Golem Repair is unknown
Crystalcore Mechanic 8400-12000 332450 0 Recharge golgems for 10000 a tick, Saw Blade for 1937-2364 and DoT ticking 807-892 Can be banished but not stunned or interrupted Educated Guess N/A
Void Reaver 10000-15000 (high-end estimate based on Nihilum world first video), 14800-20600 (CC) 4552500 (verified), 7587500 (CC) 3387 Pounding for 1350-2250, Arcane Orb for 4675-6325, Knock Away for damage+30, Enrage after 10min Immune, untauntable Educated Guess, 1, 2 Addon-guessed values from Forte video suggest the health wasn't changed at least after that point. Largest hit I saw Kungen taking was 7359 crushing blow, which against rough estimation of tank mitigation would be about 13-15k unmitigated higher-end damage which is same or same-ish as post-2.1 version. With that in mind, CC seems custom tuning, but did it honestly take Nihilum two weeks (Maggy and subsequent TK attunement on February 24th, Void Reaver March 11th) to kill Void Reaver in that state or was it more difficult at some point of time? Then again, Arcane Orb (Awake eats one) and Pounding don't have custom tuning so who knows
Astromancer Lord 8200-11200 437250 49635 Fire Shield for 523-577, Dragon's Breath for 2313-2687, Fire Blast for 2700-3300, Fireball Volley for 2125-2875, Blast Wave for 3300-3750 Immune Educated Guess Wowwiki mentions Domination, but I see no other evidence so the commenter presumably confused it with Nether Scryer
Novice Astromancer 3800-5400 58220 31550 Fire Shield for 380-420, Rain of Fire ticking 1392-1611, Fireball for 1700-2300, Fire Nova for 1390-1590 Immune to hard CC, can be stunned Educated Guess 2.1 patch notes mention their damage being "greatly reduced". I could find a later video where pally tanks makes full blocks, but still no idea about anything prior to 2.1. Wowpedia claims they they have one random ability which isn't correct based on that video, I can see Fire Shielded novices casting other spells, but you also see abilities used fairly conservatively
Apprentice Star-Scryer 3800-5400 58220 31550 Arcane Buffet for 250 and +50, Arcane Volley for 1400-1600, Arcane Explosion for 1425-1555, Arcane Shock for 1125-1325 and DoT ticking 200-300 Immune to hard CC, can be stunned Educated Guess 2.1.0 patch notes mention "greatly reduced" damage, whatever that means. I'm just following CC values blindly in this regard

I wouldn't know about pre-pre-pre-nerf Kael so maybe the bomb really hit that hard, but in this case it was easy to get alternative values.
