(PS: everyone should at least bring along their [item]Violet Badge[/item] if they have it for AR, especially melee DPS.)
The badge isnt too terribly nessisary. Having above 9k HP is the most important, if everyone moved from the orbs when they get launched, the only people needing heals will be melee dps occasionally and the MT at that time.
The Reaver's hit box is huge. It's important for melee DPS to find the outside of it to get out of the AoE damage area as fast as possible rather than standing on his feet.
that video is defiantely helpfull. thanks :)
there is also a mod for the reaver

If you use BigWigs you dont really need it
With respect to arcane resist gear, do we really need it? I got lots ( 250ish for the curator encounter ), but it brings my spell damage down about 200 to 1k ish. Doesnt seem like ranged need to worry about arcane damage though
AR gear isnt that big a deal here. The only time it would make any difference is if anyone fails to move out of the orbs way in time (which they move very slowly so youd have to not be paying attention to get hit head on). When they do detonate, its only for ~6k damage, so for anyone with 9k, its not a huge deal since they can bandaid back up. The only AR damage really thats constant is to anyone in melee range when he pounds the ground, which im told is only 3 times for 1500 damage each pound, so 4500 damage, melee can bandaid tanks can be healed because im also told he doesnt do that often. Melee could also run out of the effect if its really bad since im also told the pound doesnt stun, its just damage.
So if Melee have about 13k health buffed..should they run out? If it doesnt happen often, they could probably stay put.
Also do they risk getting hit by arcane explosion if they run out without looking?
