But seriously... Having Zither in the group spamming barrier makes perilous feel like routine. It is a good way to farm the dragon, indeed. Too bad the RNG is such an ******* to most of us. Makes me not even bother farming. I know I would have to farm a ridiculous amount to get something decent. Sorry... I'm complaining about RNG again. 
Good video! I'm sure it will be helpful to people who need an easier time farming the perilous dragon. 
This. OP is like that shield boost spamming Volus you would sometimes run across in ME3 pugs.
Only difference being that spamming shield boost was a downright terrible strategy whereas spamming barrier song seems to be completely overpowered (please do correct me if I am wrong, but in my humble experience the presence of a defensive virtuoso drops the difficulty of the game one or even two full levels).
What a shameful performance! Those were not crazed crowds trying to get Zither!'s autographs, those were people who wanted their money back because all they got was the same song over and over. This is bad practice for the show biz and I denounce it.
Maker frown upon you for this display of artistic disintegrity!
Oh yeah, I realized its your friend Drascas video. Im sorry for that. But its so pretty obvious, why you are trolling.
And I never cared about you channel too. Claiming to have the "best" builds, dont really impress me and its lead me to think that some people really should get some more attention in RL and not in a game. If Im looking for a build, its not your channel.
I still think my video is more helpful then 11:30 min of brabbling about the solo world record in a multiplayer game. The title sums up the video completley. Im so sorry.
Feel free to bump my thread, so people who appreciate some of my tips find it. Im back to play Witcher 3
So to sum up some comments:
1: This is nothing new, Im an elitist and knew it for ages since ME3 Volus Barrier spamming.
2: OMG barriers needs to be nerfed it makes the game too easy.
Conclusion: So the whole barrier mechanic (that has been "exploited" for years) must be nerfed so the common crowd still doing threatening runs have a way harder time to farm perilous dragon weapons? Ok.
Wait, why are they still in threatening if the barrier mechanic is so well known? Shouldnt everyone have all dragon weapons already? Maybe Im one of the last players without all dragon weapons.
I mean I have been doing perilous only with at least 1-2 barrier casters before Zither came up. I have never done solo runs nor bragged with them. Im not an elitist with 150 promotions. Im just a noob with a life who needs barriers and a team to get my dragon weapons.
Good thing I just promoted Skywatcher. Showing dragons some Avaar hospitality this weekend it is!
One thing though, what do the chests as placeholders mean then? That there's chest rewards for (non-weekend) challenges now, or that only the chest rewarded ones will eventually yield pretty, pretty banners & avatars?
Compared to guard? Yes, it absolutely should be adjusted. We're have you been for the past seven months when there were about 10+ threads related to the barrier vs guard, and how guard pales in comparison to barrier. It's the strongest ability in damp, offense and defense wise, it can be placed on a whole group, absorbs over 4k weapon dmg. Virtuoso with opening set can keep barrier up without any cooldown with opening set and basic attacks.So to sum up some comments:
1: This is nothing new, Im an elitist and knew it for ages since ME3 Volus Barrier spamming.
2: OMG barriers needs to be nerfed it makes the game to easy.
3: I can solo perilous dragons in world record time. (ok I made this up)
Conclusion: So the whole barrier mechanic must be nerfed so the common crowd still doing threatening runs have a way harder time to farm perilous dragon weapons? Ok.
What I dont understand: Why are people always crying for nerfs. I know that guard is weak compared to barriers. But instead of nerfing something and make it useless, what about buffing guard? We probably get a new difficulty in the next 5-12 months. So buffing guard wouldnt be that bad.
And like I said before. Nerfing the core mechanics of a skill that hasnt been touched since release, will make the current difficulties way harder, so basically the casual crowd will get a slap in the face.

Just ignore them.
I'm sure that some people found your video helpful, you know, the poor sods that only play for fun from time to time and do not have max promotions and max gear.
When you are an "elitist" you need to find some way to amuse yourself. After all, the game is no longer very interesting after you played it enough to get hundreds of promotions. The poor guys have to find their fun elsewhere, if it's trolling casual players online for not performing up to some imaginary standard, or mobbing "outsiders" on the forum.
There were some decent tips in that video, if some pugs pick up some of it then its a bonus. I like the one where you state: "do not revive on your own, wait for the rest of the group.." see that way too much, 1 person goes to revive and dies in the process, making it harder for the rest of the team who then have to revive 2 players.. And the one to barrier the captain, I see the poor chap fall almost every match, it might not be a lot of gold to keep him alive but every coin helps..

Not to pile on here but you yourself have demonstrated that you can farm perilous at level 7 spamming one button. If that isn't a point toward's barrier's strength then I don't know what is. Luke has stated that he wants to tone down the effectiveness of barrier slightly and greatly increase the effectiveness of guard. I agree that both are necessary. It doesn't make sense to completely trash barrier as then the Keeper is just a walking static cage at that point.
One thing to keep in mind, Guard can keep you alive. But Barrier keeps EVERYONE alive.
That said, I appreciate the time you put into the video and think that it will be helpful to new players especially for the non-virtuoso-specific advice throughout. Good work.
Anyone else encountered "new" players in PUGS that complain about the Keeper's/Elementalist barrier being too cumbersome? Too small an AOE and you have to actually target its placement. These were decent PUGS too, hadn't played very much but obviously knew enough to play support characters and farm Perilous dragons for the loot.
I seriously laughed out loud. ZITHER has spoiled the newer crop.
Being a regular pugger, for better or worse, I know that there's some advice in here that many players would benefit from. The forums are not representative of the player base at large however, so most people commenting/watching already know the tricks. Thanks for contributing though, keep up the good work.
thx for the kind words from you all
Spammed power chord, party died. 40 kill streak tho
