Title: The One-Shot Challenge
Post by: letsrock on 06 February 2019, 01:30:02

Hi all,

I propose a new challenge: The One-Shot Challenge! :)

The rules are simple:
- One-shot as many bosses as possible
- One-shot means you only hit them exactly once, although you can cast as many buffs/debuffs/scroll as you want.
- For bosses with multiple forms (e.g. Hades, Loki, Surtr) it's one shot per form.
- For simplicity, only end-of-act and special bosses are counted, that is:
 - Act 1: Minotaur Lord, Telkin 1, Talos, Hydra
 - Act 2: Telkin 2, Manticore
 - Act 3: Telkin 3, Typhon, Dragon Liche
 - Act 4: Hades
 - Act 5: Loki, Surtr, Fafnir
- Screenshots of boss kills required with the 2nd page showing Greatest Damage Dealt, and with description of gears and buffs/debuffs/scrolls and shot/skill used

Join in! :)
