Breakdown
We worked on this idea of simplify the life of people who are doing bosses, and also in the spirit of speedruns.
The central idea behind it is the Rahma’s 25% increase damage by simultaneous hits, comboed with the sambuk 50% damage boost on Ablaze targets.
The rest of the choices are made to help out accomplishing that combo.
The barque, which isn’t typically made for setting ablaze, is a good choice for bosses, even though the barge would have been the best choice, we chose the barque because of its healing capabilities, the fact that it is a medium ship, and that we don’t need to spread the Ablaze to other targets.
The barque will be in medium / short range of the boss, using blue specter and zamzama’s to set the target on fire, while being at a sufficient range to heal with the repair mortar.
We chose the blue specter and zamzama’s because they are the best fire weapons in short range.
The furnitures are chosen mainly around the fire status effect, being is main purpose.
The weapon choice can change depending on the boss, typically for La peste Last Stand, fire bombards are a better choice than zamzama’s, in that spirit, change the grindstone and brazing furnace for a bombard works and grinder.
The sambuk, for the combo, which are going to be the main source of damages.
For that part, I’ve chosen to split two sambuk with one focus on portside, one on starboard, because we can play with one on the right side, one on the left side of the boss, leaving the dardanelle’s on the outside, to defend agains’t possible incoming adds.
The way to play it is to keep carronades and rahma’s at the main target while he isn’t Ablaze, when the barque set him ablaze, turn to focus on both rahma’s.
The furnitures are chosen around the dps, since with the barque we don’t need more survivability.
