If you get shotgunned on a staff class by gods, there’s definitly a problem.
As a ranged class, you should never be close to your foes, or it’s asking for death. Necro is the best farming class in glands, but it doesn’t mean you can hug gods. The only situation where you’d want to hug gods is with a def maxed knight and a good pet.
You should also try to learn the gods’ patterns. What we call patterns are the way they will shoot at you, what do each projectile do and so on. The more you’ll play, the more you’ll understand how monsters work, and knowing the way they work will assure you an easy win. Here’s a few examples :
Medusas have 2 attacks : the first is a shotgun of high damage projectiles. It is aimed at where you are, so you can easily avoid it by simply walking in the same direction. Her second attack is a high damage bomb (zone effect). For this one, simply watch for it and get away from it.
Ghost gods only use a large, slow but damaging shotgun. Your best bet for this one is either to go between the bullets, or to move back from it. Never try to tank these white bullets, as they do over 100 damage to non melee classes, even def maxed.
Ent gods shoot a low damage, fast shotgun that predicts your movements. The best way to deal with it is changing direction right when they fire it. If you’re def maxed, you can tank it a bit, but don’t get overconfident.
Leviathans (the big blue things) are a bit tricky to deal with. They have two phases : first one is a stream of dark blue projectiles predicting your movements. Since they are in great quantity and deal medium damage, it is better to run away from it, or if you’re good at dodging bullets you can try to dodge them. The second phase is huge circles of light blue bullets. These ones are hard to dodge, but they deal lower damage so you can either wait it out or try to get some damage in. The Leviathan will change from one phase to another around every 5-7 seconds.
I’ll let you learn the rest by yourself, as you’ll remember it more easily if you discover it yourself. If you get surounded by gods, or are in any dangerous situation, don’t hesitate to nexus.
