I talked about this in cc but I thought about it while using ballista only for fun

works very well and shed 20 seconds off of my pb

if you're a tbow nerd disregard

Simple explanation

right before you run away from lightning, ballista hit and run. You can do a second ballista while running away from lightning further. Many times this will jump right to the red phase on the run

For fire section, right before the fire starts to approach you, ballista hit on the last hit you know you can do. Most of the time this will skip the fire phase. Alternatively, you can do a second ballista hit while running from the fire without taking damage. This will almost always stop the fire phase and go into the jad phase.

Easy 10 second sheds off of your pbs with the extra dps/skip fire phase with bp

I followed woox’s method and added ballista to the sections where there are 2 missed ticks and managed a 1:45 with addy darts/ballista and 0 damage. As far as I know it’s impossible to have 0 missed ticks with bp and also take no damage

Wanna try to break 1:30 with dragon darts but it’s all rng in the end

yes a long range wep to get dps while running away is always worth doing. DPS is always worth doing during dead time.

People keep saying it’s dumb but for me it’s been working so well.

Makes it more fun to me anyway. Blowpiping and walking around can get hella repetitive after like 50 kills
