Ok, here are some handy things I found whilst doing the annoying torch catching quest.
Basic Rule:
- Unequip as much armor as possible in order to decrease your hp. Since the damage the debuff does when you drop the torch is based on the amount of hp you have (5% damage every 1 sec for 5 sec) having less hp results in less damage, making it easier to heal yourself.
Tips for catching:
- Try to run a bit faster than the shadow of the torch, doing so will make it easier to catch (because of lag and such).
Tips for Avoiding damage:
- Mages can avoid damage from the explosions by casting fire ward on themselves. I assume this also applies to the Priest's Power Word:Shield. By combining the Fire Ward with as less hp as possible one can (almost) avoid any damage at all.
- Mages can also get rid of the debuff by using Iceblock. I assume this also works for the Paladin's Divine Shield.
I hope these tips will help you guys,
