Last race a lot of people were asking what's good level for facing Brutus/Merveil. Here's my take, aimed at melee:
Brutus - Lv 9 safe-T-mode - Lv 8 ideal - Lv 7 doable - Lv 6 pro's only Most players choose both starting passive nodes for their class as they usually offer good value. Assuming this, at level 8 you will have access to your first Notable Passive that will give a stat boost and allow you to equip a significant weapon/armour upgrade. The Dweller in the Deep quest gives a passive point so you can deduct 1 from these numbers if you did that side quest although most people skip it in a race. Likewise if you skipped one of the starting passives you could also deduct 1 from the numbers, but doing both this and Dweller to face Brutus at Lv 6 brings up the problem of weak gear options and enemy damage scaling against you due to their significantly higher level. TLDR they will hit a lot harder, hence pro's only. Merveil - Lv 12/13 = ideal - Lv 11 = hard - Lv 10 = extremely dangerous When you reach the Cavern of Anger waypoint and talk to Nessa, she gives you a Lv12 skillgem. While you may not be level 12 when you get this off of her, you'll want to be 12 with a 2L by the time you face her as the gem is usually a big upgrade for your main skill. Merveil is a resistance fight. Having 2 sapphire rings will make a big difference to having 1, and a HUGE difference to having none. These rings are available at level 11, so killing her at that level is doable, but hard without the added Lv12 support skill. Likewise, fighting her at level 10 or lower will mean you have no resistance rings and will very easily die. Hope this helps some newbies, good luck! |

Thanks, that was a well thought out explanation.

Merveil shall taste my steel! (in 90 mins or less) (assuming I can keep myself awake for another 39 mins) (if I don't rip before or during her)

@CabooseDog
Exploding spawn leapslam desync in Caverns lol Not blaming desync at all btw. I was leapslamming in a way that rubberbanding was highly likely so not too surprised that I died midair |

Don't forget to hold shift while leapslamming ;) it won't prevent 100% of those desyncs but it helps a lot if you pair shiftslamming with a /oos macro.
