A quick example of things going from bad to worst in the matter of a few lines of dialogue.
That thing is for a high-level PvM thing called Boss Reaper, which challenges you to go kill a certain boss a certain amount of times. Slayer assignments given to you by Death himself, as there's apparently too much life going on and not enough stuff dying.
Death can't take lives himself, but he sure can tell others to go out and murder things for him. Such a nice guy.
I suck at combat, so I kept rerolling in hopes of getting something I knew how to kill.
It started out with Queen Black Dragon. She was the highest-level solo boss back in 2012. I've technically almost managed to defeat her once. Sort of.
Defeating her once might have been possible. But -not- nine times.
*Reroll*
Nex. The strongest boss from back in 2011 (and also 101 levels stronger than QBD). Used to require a fairly large/skilled team to defeat her back in the day, but these days people can do it alone fairly effortlessly because power creep and stuff.
She's still wayyyyy to strong for me to fight tho, especially as I've never even been to where she's encountered. Nope, nope, nope, and more nope.
*Reroll*
Telos. He's pretty much the QBD of this day and age and also the strongest solo boss monster currently in-game (depending on his enrage level.)
In other words, so far out of my league there's no point for me to even -think- of trying that.
I also think you need to defeat the four "lesser" bosses of the second god wars dungeon in order to even be able to try and fight him in the first place.
And I can't do that either. >->
*Reroll*
Nex - Angel of Death.
Same ol' Nex, only cranked up to level 7000 and updated to bring her back to her former near-unsoloable glory.
Like, they recommend a team of seven when fighting her and stuff.
A team of seven who know what they're doing.
I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm not seven, so this is impossibru.
Death is clearly trolling me here.
I tried rerolling again, but apparently someone lost their patience with me.
It's ok tho, it's not like I wanted that rainbow loot beam anyway...
