The short answer is: hours.
I think the shortest big-game hunt I've seen recorded was between 2 to 3 hours. Most take significantly longer.
Sweet, while I'm no pro at it I got the Deathsurge in about 7, Scrapyard in about 15 and a Thorn DE monster in about 15 as well on my Mercs/Poison. Wish I could do in just eleventeen. Not hours, just minutes lol. Was just meaning what the average time it should take down just one of them.
It varies by monster as they have different total HP based on what level they natural occur at (even though they always con purple). As a result they regenerate in varying amounts due to the hp differences.
For instance:
Babbage has 25500 hp and regens 130hp/sec
While something like a thorn on monster Island has roughly 70k hp and regens ~350hp/sec.
As a trapper their regen rate is inconsequential, but you still have to eat through their hp, which for the latter will take almost 3x as long.
For everyone else though their total regen matters quite a bit. For instance a rad would need ~32 dps to start damaging Babbage and ~89 dps to start damaging the Thorn. Someone with no regen debuffs would need dps that exceeds the targets regen rate, which ultimately means no one is killing high level GM's without debuffs.
Yeah I know all that. Just wondering what the average time it takes for most of you, particularly the Bots/Traps people that do it. I use Mercs/Poison so I don't have a good poison trap or other -regen through the assault bot and want to know how much of a difference all that really makes. So like for the one's I have done so far what would something like a bots/traps do it in?
