Magisterium Mechanics

Hello all,

I hope you're enjoying the Magisterium! I wanted to pop in to clarify some mechanics of the final fight:

1.) Your deaths have no effect on Tyrant at all. He has no mechanics that trigger on player death

2.) There is currently a bug where only 16 players/pets will receive the level shift from destroying Light of the Well. We’ll be fixing this in an upcoming patch as quickly as possible – I checked the fix in as soon as the issue was discovered.

3.) Tyrant does not have a self heal. He does have a self-buff power which consumes his Olympian Guards, killing them, and providing him with bonus ToHit and Smashing Damage for each guard consumed in this way. This has a visual effect which looks a bit like a heal, but is meant instead to connote “Powering up off dark energy”.

4.) There is no direct negative effect to “Being in the hospital”. I have seen several people postulate that Tyrant heals or grows in power when people are in the hospital, but the only effect hosping has on him is that you’re dead and not DPSing, and therefore his regeneration is healing him better.

I hope this information helps you, and good luck in your endeavours to bring Tyrant down!

Thanks for the information! Nice to put a couple theories to bed.

Oh, thank you. I am going to be pasting links to this all night.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. Now I have a direct quote for when people don't believe me about the hospital thing.

And what about the EoE use against his untyped damage, is that WAI or will it be changed?

What about the part where you do the entire dang trial, and then get that stupid pity table, with ten threads, or a single inspiration.

Seriously, I haven't seen that since before the BAF and Lambda were adjusted. That's just awful. The trial doesn't drop anything except Empyrean merits--at least you could fix it so the salvage dropped safely.

Yeah, I have seen people who played what I consider a normal amount saying they got the 10 threads table about five times so far. That doesn't happen anything like that often in other iTrials, at least not any more, so I'm suspecting something is wrong with Participation in this one.

Fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks for the clarifications.

in the 5 or so trials that ive completed ive gotten 2 VR, 1 R, and 1 uncommon so i havent really noticed any discrepancy in the reward table

I will say the Mag trial is the first time I've ever been awarded a threads only reward and I'm still not quite sure what the difference in my participation was. It was on my mastermind, but it was the 2nd run with that character and I did everything the same as I'd done on the 1st run, so it was certainly a surprise.

The only other time I've ever gotten threads was on one of my Dark defenders "back in the day", when Lambda and BAF were no more than a week or so old. 'Didn't see that table again until it popped up for Kestrel (my DB stalker-) in Magi.

Arbiter Hawk can we tweak the air crackle warning as well? This should really be a mapwide warning. People coming back from a death or from grabbing a light often jump right into the attack because they did not get the warning.
