This thread is a companion to Subpoena's sustained dps thread. The intent of that thread is to measure a hero's absolute maximum dps without any other factors in the mix. The intent of this thread is to attempt to measure a hero's effective dps in a high incoming damage setting. So (hopefully) here you'll have to balance defense and offense because each death is going to really cost you time. To differentiate them from ttk's, I'll be referring to these performances as tt66's - time to 66%.
THE TEST
The goal is to reduce the bottom Sentinel in the first encounter in the Green Axis raid to 66% health as fast as possible. Time will start as soon as the Sentinel's feet touch the ground when it first drops from the sky. Time will end at the point the Sentinel goes invulnerable to summon its adds.
THE RULES
- Record your attempt with your preferred video capture software and post the video evidence with your time submission.
- To further differentiate from ttk's, Ultimate abilities are allowed. They're too big a part of a hero's effective dps to leave out.
- Store buffs that affect your dps are not allowed. So no Omega boost, iBoost, or Guardians boost. Also no Achievement Brews because they are precious to us and we don't want to have to waste them making dps videos. For now the pizza buff is also banned but I may relent on this in the future as it's non-consumable and available to everyone. Craftable buffs are allowed.
- Deaths are allowed. Just be aware deaths will tank your time so strive for that zero death build/attempt.
- You must face the Sentinel alone. No one else is allowed to be there with you.
That's it, have fun! I'll keep a running list of times and @ICR is keeping a database up to date at:
