And here I was preparing for my first 5 mask SW run this week ... maybe next time then.
Entomophobia and Scorched Feet are actually pretty fun together, you are just jumping around.
How some can say leaden foot or scorched feet is even slightly hard, is beyond me. They are the easiest of them all. Just dont move during scorched feet, or simply jump and get knocked back instead of front etc. I orgrimmars wisdom, I simply range pull and plan so that I jump forward instead of in the water. Clearly a l2p scrub if you can't deal with those super easy madnesses. Split personality coupled with haunting is doable, but much worse cause in the mathias shaw area cause the mobs slow you (70% movement AND attack speed) on top of the very narrow street. In mage quarter it's not that bad. You get plenty of warning for split personality, both sound AND visual way before it happens. If you mount into it, you're tunneling even on your mount and there is no hope for you.
Took me 3 attempts but I finally 5 masked SW. The affixes were terrible. Definitely worth the little extra effort to look for sanity potions.
Took 3 attempts but finally cleared it!Think its worth mentioning 5 mask Alleria is no joke especially for melee. She keeps spamming all her abilities which kinda sucks since she wont come to you behind the pillar and even when she does she'll port back to mid for void eruption almost immediately. Only just made it because dark imagination add spawned and luckily gift procced so i just yoloed it at that point since only had 50 sanity left..Otherwise yea haunting + split is not too bad if ya just go slow but agree that most times the only safe spot is the wall which is just annoying. Really tho just go slow since the sanity drain with rank 15 cloak is almost nothing even in lost zones now. The only real dangers now are messing up the madnesses. When u think about it, its a bit of a mind game because when we started doing visions it was all about rushing it due to the sanity drain. Now with all the sanity reduction, it really is just playing it safe and smart instead of rushing it. Others tips are yea lookout for the potions and nab the npc buffs, theres 2 every run. Seriously tho removed Alleria, 5 mask Thrall is so much easier.
5 masking SW with the combination of Split Personality + Haunting Shadows is definitely the worst. Most of the time when you're in Old town / Mage Quarter there is not nearly enough room to escape the circle because the opening spawns against a wall. You can either stand still which isn't really viable since Haunting Shadows and abilities from enemies will be placed on top of you, or walk into the images and accept the 6 second cc even though the fear can also still spawn on top of you. I can't imagine it was intended to be this way and unless you have godlike RNG with the spawns it doesn't seem doable with exception to some classes/specs who can move outside the circle without requiring the opening. I was excited to get another 470 item this week, with other madnesses I managed just fine but these 2 are just infuriating. I gave up after 3 attempts of doing well and then getting screwed over by not having enough space and dying to being cc'd for too long. Guess I'll just have to skip the week when its Stormwind with these 2 madnesses.EDIT: Tried it again today and managed to finish it. I cannot overstate how important it is to go slow in Old Town / Mage Quarter. Small pulls and pulling mobs back to give yourself more space helps a lot, but I also feel like I had way worse luck with the madnesses activating at the wrong time at previous attempts.
