Nebula Time Trials - A Wrauk in the Park

A new Nebula Time Trials event has begun!

The Challenge: Kill Wrauk, the famed and feared Earth Elemental of the Breach, in the quickest time possible.

The Stipulations: The timer will start at the first interaction involving Wrauk and it will stop when the last damage numbers fade from the screen. This is a solo challenge, but group entries are strongly encouraged for the Bonus Videos section.

This contest falls under the rules of the Nebula Time Trials, and all entries should be linked in this "A Wrauk in the Park" thread. Final date for entries will be Tuesday, September 12th, 2023. Best of luck, Avatars!

 

Announcing on the air at least twice before the 12th (which is my birthday ) Please send updates/clarifications under "Event Coverage" in our Discord, as usual. Thanks for the raid yesterday! -alle

 

This is gonna be a fun one! Challenge excepted!

 

Does Tamer Class technically count as a solo kill?

 

dang this is going to be tough

 

Yes it does! Tamer builds might seem simple to the novice but if a player wants to perform best as possible it requires no less strategy, understanding, preparation, and skill than any other optimized build.

 

oof, i think you'll find me in cement boots off the coast after Waruk is done.

 

then at least you will not be alone.. Fnor will be there with you

 

you dream about going up there
but that is a big mistake
just look at the world around you
right here on the ocean floor
such wonderful things surround you
what more is you looking for?

under the sea
under the sea
darling, it's better down where it's wetter
take it from me

 

up on the shore the Wrauk will stay
to fight him gives your life away
so be devotin'
full time to floatin'
under the sea

 

Luckely my kill-time is better then my rhyme,
Wrauk his hate is set, but does not like to get's it's feet to wet,
Where he lives there is no basement, avatar! watch the mob placement

/facepalm

 

ok! here is my best and only attempt so far 10:42

more attempts to come!

 

Welp, here is my run at Wrauk (run amok?)

Update:
Current shortest kill time = 2 min 54 secs


Bonus Video:

Spoiler: RIn in the Breach!

Rin Brawls with the Elemental, and tries to knock his wrauk off.
Boxing in boxers...also, I tried to duck the attacks, but duck did not help!

For those who like details on how various builds are utilized:
Player info: Adventure level 145, specialization in blades and earth.
Food used: corpian potato salad (+4% attack from behind damage), Yasaranth stew (+10% thrust damage), Seared Swordfish (+10 bladed combat), Mutton/Lettuce/Tomato (+2.5% melee crit damage)
Potions used: Might Aether, Deftness Aether, Acumen Aether, Regeneration Imbued, Elixer of potency, Shadow form, Master Earth mage, Stalking cat Aether (adds rend damage), Elemental resistance, and some health potions during battle.
Weapon: 2H meteoric iron with elven hilt & socketted with 2 rend gems.
Other equipment: Warlock chain is legendary. All equipment has rather mediocre enchants and masterworks. Chest piece and rings socketted with earth attunement gems.
Primary Attack Strategy: stacked rend, stacked stone fist (to stun, so I could get behind the Wrauk and get attack from behind damage), and while rend was ticking-off, I did rapid spamming of thrust, double slash, and repost. Wrauk seems to be highly resistant to coup de grace, so i did not use that skill much.
