Definitely make use of the ability to reset a room by having everyone die. We spent a lot of time in the resurrection room planning out our moves. For example, our first room was the Bully room. We weren't killing it fast enough, and it started duplicationg itself like Boomers and we had to reset. So the second time around, we had everyone focus their attacks on the Bully, and the room was a breeze. We also used the resurrection room to allow one person to solo the jump rooms. For the mini-bosses, the Bishop and I were the only ones able to tank the 15k damage from the Aran mini-boss, so we got the idea to have me distract the boss while everyone shot it from behind. A similar concept was used for the final boss, who can do 18k damage.
I think F/Ps are extremely useful for this PQ. Poison Mist halves the amount of work you have to do on the Bomb room, Fire Demon immobilizes monsters and does % DoT damage, and Slow helps keep the bosses in place. I added 8 points into Fire Demon today in preparation for this.
I'm glad it's a nice inspiration, we were all pumped at being able to clear the PQ without insane HP washing or damage. Good luck on your endeavors.
would a buccaneer be usefull as a distraction with their barrage to inflict kncokback frames like that one strategy that people use for PB?
