The past few weeks i've been doing a lot of theatre of blood runs and learning the raid. These have become one of my favorite things to do in game along with TOA runs.
The best part of learning tob is that the raid is really fun to run along with having a skill cap that seems like each run you can improve on something.(would take me 1000s of runs probably to master).
TOA feels like it has a cap on invocations and while i think group 500s are harder than regular tob runs, it feels like once you hit the cap/high invocations there's not much to learn after.(WR tob runs compared to 416 is a good comparison for how much you can learn in this raid.) This burned me out of toa and while i find runs fun sometimes it's really hard to do runs constantly like i used to.
The worst parts of TOB are really 416 and some of the community compared to TOA/COX. While having low kc it was almost impossible to find a raid on world 416. It tooks weeks to get kc from some friends along with getting wdr learner raids and after getting 50+ kc it became really easy to find teams. Also the constant shouting from players in raids where you mostly just click boss in a 23 year old game that uses a .6 second tick system for mechanics over small mistakes is really crazy and very different from TOA masses at all.(416 is really bad towards new players especially with 0-20 Kc)
I donno if tob is this “god raid” compared to toa/cox but after being told to learn “real Pvm” and doing inferno and tob It’s not that different from any other content in the game even toa. After hearing how difficult it is to run on Reddit and RU-vid videos talking about how hard it is it feels wierd thinking that I’d never learn this raid while getting a completion(not speedrun on 416) is not too hard.
This is kinda why I never got a infernal cape for a really long time. I'd go into a attempt die on wave 30 and think it was impossible reading how hard it was. I never tried tob because i never thought i'd get a completion and that the skill level was way too high.
Basically, and probably not much people will read this whole descripton but TOB's skill floor isn't that much different from 300 invocation TOA's. in most world 416 raids it's not hard to get a completion with a team of 20-40 kc. It's the same raid everytime mostly. This is a lot different from the skill ceiling which is very hard to reach but TOB isn't a hard raid.
Kinda wanted to make this video for players that haven't tried tob it's not too bad to start and is really fun. I really wanted to upload this because i was kinda having difficulties running 500s for months on end. it seemed like ToA was the only raid possible for me to run in game. But really in game nothing is that hard to complete at a skill floor. Inferno/tob/cox is not hard content along with anything in this game.
