[CA] Keep Construct - 3:01 | Catalyst
I joined Calamity for one of their projects because they didn't have an untamed player avaliable at that time and i played what i normally play which is catalyst. what is unique about this kill as opposed to any other KC kill is the lack of a healer.
KC doesn't have that much pressure for the most part, the pressure starts during the collection phases and after them when it does the blast attack and then the phantasmal blades attack. Also in P3 it did phantasmal blades back to back which is a lot of pressure.
The untamed and willbender players have their own tools to boost their sustain (things that also kept me alive to an extent) and for my personal sustain i played hammer to take advantage of water skills that heal/condi cleanse, of the 15% damage reduction from earth orb and of the range while in fire/air.
My rotation during the collection phases was basically going to earth to get off rocky loop and then starting to build my stacks up from there until the boss is back by comboing in earth - going to fire - comboing in fire - then providing a water field and comboing in there a little before the phase ends to top myself up and finally starting in earth to throw grand finale and refresh earth orb immediately (i also used air 4 whenever i could to ramp up my EE stacks because the extra stats are important as well for sustain). Then i could stay ranged for a bit until i jump in with water skills so as i don't take too much damage
In P1 i did a stacks + arcane ferocity + meteor shower precast and used fgs in air so as i can use it twice during the phase and have it back at the start of P3. P1 and P2 went kinda good (i have had up to 56k P1 like in this log https://dps.report/6Wn4-20240222-213512_kc but that was mostly due to lightning storm and meteor shower rng), P3 was naturally messy due to all the damage pressure but that is the phase where catalyst shines and gets top damage due to having every skill back and the boss being entirely under the effect of bolt to the heart (i am pretty sure i could have done a 60k P3 if we reached it more often and i could optimize things a bit more).
Since i have the highest toughness due to my modifiers i also had to tank which didn't really matter much because we didn't move almost at all. Under better circumstances 3:00 should be definitely possible and in a perfect scenario maybe sub 3 but that is kinda debatable. Not sure if a full untamed stack would have been better but one thing that catalyst at least helped with was to greatly speed up 10%-0% (since i used both firestorm and lightning storm there) so as we make the check comfortably before the boss jumps
