Special Events in Torghast
Torghast will have some special events during the expansion. The third one will be Unbridled Darkness, the week from the 9 to the 15 of March 2021, according to calendar inside of the game.

Today known events:

Unbridled Darkness
Your first Anima Orb will offer you a third Anima Power: Phiole der ungezügelten Dunkelheit or Fläschchen der ungezügelten Dunkelheit. For pictures, check here on Squishei new about the event.

Unbridled Darkness is a buff that you can get which removes your vision in exchange for damage and movement bonuses.

When in a 2 player party or more, it adds a 4th option to the first Anima Orb Unkontrollierte Dunkelheit. This will automatically activate and deactivate the Darkness every 5 kills.

Unkontrollierte Dunkelheit. Darkness envelops you every 5 kills, causing you to be completely unable to view your surroundings. While under this effect, your damage and healing done is increased by 150% and your movement speed in increased by 50%. This effect is only removed when you kill 5 more enemies. You will NOT be able to enter or leave the darkness manually.
Phiole der ungezügelten Dunkelheit. Release the darkness for 15 sec, causing you to be completely unable to view your surroundings. While under this effect, your damage and healing done is increased by 50% and your movement speed in increased by 30%. 90 sec cooldown.
Fläschchen der ungezügelten Dunkelheit. Release the darkness for 30 sec, causing you to be completely unable to view your surroundings. While under this effect, your damage and healing done is increased by 75% and your movement speed in increased by 30%.

When you pick this ability, you:

Will add all the Unbridled Darkness Anima Powers listed below into pool.
Get an extra action button. It will completely cover your screen in Darkness (UI still visible). During this time you'll get a 75% damage increase and a 30% movement speed increase but cannot click off the buff.

Uncontrolled Darkness is absolutely horrible! 0/10 - do not recommend!

This ability is offered on the first Anima Orb when entering during the Torghast: Unbridled Darkness event ~~and is only offered in parties of 2 or more~~. Darkness automatically activates/deactivates every 5 kills. When in Darkness, your screen goes black, but you are still able to see your UI, as can be seen in this screenshot provided by Squishei.
This is my experience as a Night Fae boomkin with resto affinity.

Just completed Layer 8 Mort'regar in a 4-man group during this event, and I was the only idiot (thankfully) who decided to try out the "fun" new offerings. I chose Uncontrolled Darkness, which I thought would be better than the other item, Flask of Unbridled Darkness (surely getting 5 kills would be quick and easy...) What I didn't realize was that the Flask was actually a "use" item allowing you to control when you got thrust into Darkness. The Flask is definitely the way to go if you want to experience this event.

First, there's bad puddles and swirlies getting thrown out pretty much constantly. I ended up having to mostly stand still when Darkness came for fear of falling off a ledge or being knocked back due to standing in a swirl. Being able to heal myself was absolutely necessary (even if it was just passively by Ysera's Gift.) I also chose Tollar's Hidden Flask of Fortification, Obleron Endurance, Curious Miasma, Protective Phantasma, and Defiance of Death from the Anima Orbs I was able to actually access. If you choose to give any of the Darkness traits a go, I would suggest you aim for similar powers.

Second, even though I purchased the new Broker Traversal Enhancer from Ve'nari in order to skip out on tight-walking the chains, I would always get thrown into Darkness right before the group came upon any chains. Unable to see the clickable portal that was always dangerously close to the edge, I ended up having to put myself on follow with one of my group members (who thankfully didn't have the Broker Traversal Enhancer yet, so he had to go across the chains the old-fashioned way) in order to get across the necessary chains. I wouldn't have been able to continue on my own as there were no other mobs in the area to kill to remove the Darkness, and there's one specific section where you have to go across 2 chain-paths to continue on the run. I skipped out on all the chains that were for bonus items or rare mobs, as it would have taken too long to run back and grab things as the rest of the group moved on.

Last, my DPS suffered greatly due to me not being able to see where it was safe to go or where there were mobs to target (when Tab wasn't able to reach any hostile.) Target of target helped, but again, many times I was out of range. It was essential for me to stick close to a group member/keep myself on follow when I was getting close to my 5th into-Darkness kill. If you are too far away, the group's kills won't count towards your 5 coming-out-of-Darkness kills. Druid abilities that helped, due to their AoE nature/splash damage (pretty much every one of my spells): Convoke the Spirits (Night Fae ability), Starfall, Fury of Elune, Force of Nature, and Twin Moons talent. Anima Powers I chose in addition to the defensive ones listed above: Censer of Suffocating Shadows, Writhing Shadow-Tendrils, and Sands of Desperation (although I'm not sure I noticed the effects of this one).

Note:
- You can fall/get knocked off of the many ledges.
- If you are too far away from the mobs being killed, they won't count towards your 5 needed to come out of Darkness.
- Darkness resets between floors; if you go to the next floor while afflicted with Darkness, you will again be able to see when you come through.

Good luck to anyone else trying out Uncontrolled Darkness!

This was not fun. At all. Chose Unkontrollierte Dunkelheit followed by Tollars wildes Dreschen and I basically one-shot the other person in my party while I was standing next to them in darkness, out of combat. They rezzed, ran back to me so I could follow them (since they were NOT in darkness) and I promptly one-shotted them again without any action on my part. That was the last straw. We left.

As a solo healer, Flask of unbridled darkness + damage dealing bonuses are really overtuned. The final boss dies in less than 3 seconds on layer 8 with 195 ilvl.

I don't get it. Why is there a Vial and a Flask? Why would you ever want the Vial?

I've done this several times. Doing it with a tanking pet (lock or hunter) is a no brainer. Doing it with a melee all depends on the last boss and of course you don't know who the boss is until you pick it. One of the bosses that runs around or moves a lot would be near impossible. Basically, as melee, you just want to nuke the final boss down.

I'm not sure as a mage or spriest (pure caster). Basically you'd have to tank the last boss you'd think which would be a race to kill him before he reaches you and kills you.

An example of how complicated this can get, I was doing it on my WW monk. I targeted the boss, activated my Xuen and Storm,Earth and Fire and then hit the Fläschchen der ungezügelten Dunkelheit. But the Xuen repositioned the boss a little and I was no longer facing him, so I thought I was screwed (because you can't see where he is to reposition). However I was lucky and he wasn't far and I just had to turn a little (I just guessed) and I downed him in a matter of seconds. Could have easily not known where to face and the boss could have just destroyed me while I couldn't even have hit him.

I created an account just to post that I LOVED THIS EVENT as a mage with a tank/melee friend. I chose the vial/flask which let us gather large groups of mobs, chain pull them to keep the buff going, and I just NUKED them down as I collected more powers. You can still see the damage numbers when you hit them so I was able to see how close the mobs were, drop blizzard and tab target. Clearly not a good option for many, but wanted to share my experience!

Kommentar von Tohuvabohu

It's very touchy, especially in Mort'regar. Lots of times I'd activate the flask and it would go away immediately, more so in the hallways and tight places.

Kommentar von Tamzar

Zusammengekauertes Schnitzen and similar powers, as you might expect - do not seem to work solo. Summoning a steward will not change that.
