Jarring strikes turns your backstab into a knockdown that can let you get in close safely for a second, as well as interrupts (It says it only works from stealth but if the target has recently been hit with V-Substance or blood boiler it counts because of a passive). Then the mobile strategies utilities means every time you roll you get a 30m range knockback that doubles as an interrupt. From there it's just kiting him (Sever Tendon!) and paying attention to the snack channel.

If this was a 6.0 change, maybe it was to compensate for being level 75, albeit downscaled to 70. Compared to a level 70 in 5.0, you have one more utility point, new set bonuses and tactical items. On the other hand, your primary stats are capped. Don't know if this makes MM harder or easier overall.

It may well be useful to other people too as my posts about master mode chapters are among the more "evergreen" content on the blog that still gets traffic even years later.<br /><br />Personally I can't even remember that second rancor you mentioned, which is quite odd to me! But I know there can be a lot of variety between classes when it comes to which fights seem easy or difficult, so I'll happily take your word for it.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-43952536811110395522020-09-03T17:47:37.914+01:002020-09-03T17:47:37.914+01:00Aware that this comment is unlikely to be read giv...Aware that this comment is unlikely to be read given the age of the blog post, but anyway: I'm working through this chapter on MM with my tank Sin. I don't have any of the Heroic Moment stuns, but managed to kill the junior rancor using my own stuns and by setting Theron to DPS to use his stun. Getting the baby rancors onside was essential, as was boosting Theron to 50.<br /><br />I was elated after that, however there's worse to come. You have to fight another rancor, Ferocious Beast, shortly afterwards, who seems to hit just as hard as Junior. Even worse, his massively damaging abilities aren't telegraphed like Junior's. And you don't have special allies. I absolutely could not beat this in a conventional way as he hit too hard and has over 1m health. I ended up luring it to a platform with no rails and using the Overload knockback to push it to its death. I have no idea how you'd do this with a melee that doesn't have a knockback.<br /><br />The horrors of the fights against Junior and the Chapter 2 bosses have led to re-evaluations of the utility of taking in MM chapters. I gear with three Alacrity enhancements as standard to boost DPS a bit. Tanking is very useful when fighting a load of Skytroppers, who hit fairly hard but are fragile. But you can't tank through the damage inflicted by the Genoharadan leader in Chapter 2; you have to avoid/mitigate his most damaging attacks by using DCDs; no amount of shield/absorb is going to help against the crazy burst damage you suffer. You have to win the DPS race, which I did by swapping out three shield enhancements for crits because it felt that I simply wasn't inflicting enough damage.<br /><br />So all in all I think a semi/full-skank tank would be the best tank for MM chapters. The tank DCDs can be very useful, and you need the DPS.

Basically what it showed was the person popping heroic moment and then nuking the Rancor down through chaining stuns (comp stun - Force choke - legacy kick - legacy choke). They basically beat it by not even letting it get a hit in, heh.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-4419354779032832002018-11-28T20:01:11.460+00:002018-11-28T20:01:11.460+00:00...aand it is sadly no longer available for some r......aand it is sadly no longer available for some reason.Eltaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253857985953499306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-33350109765191141622018-05-21T20:54:16.628+01:002018-05-21T20:54:16.628+01:00I can confirm that the above is not spam but a leg...I can confirm that the above is not spam but a legitimate link to a video of someone killing the Rancor on a Sentinel!
