Thank fucking god. They're still useless, but at least they don't stop accruing now.

The fight was fine IMO it is just random ass pugs seem to have no clue about the mechanics. I've only done the fight 3 times I think and every time I have to explain the mechanics to the group and we wipe 3 times.

That fight just has a bit too much going on. Personally I felt the wind-pushback aspect was what made it perticularly difficult for people to grasp. Anytime you have an effect that directly effects a player's controls with respect to movement you create a separate instinct of panic which precludes people from focusing on other game aspects.

On docks we had DPS who refused to switch when the blood bubble was put on enemies and we were there for at least 10 minutes until we finally got the DPS to switch

That fight was a total clusterfuck my first time doing it. The damage output on it didn't seem that bad, though. Most of my runs didn't have any issues.

I'd probably put him as one of the harder bosses in the current dungeons, there's just a bit too much going on. And it's not even the last boss.

It's a group ender in CM - some guys just can't figure out grenades rockets and flak my man.

Hahaha "Assassination now deals 6% more damage". I knew it was bad, but just a straight 6% buff? What did they buff?


Grimrail was fun. I did it last night on heroic as a healer for the first time and started that fight with 10% mana. Thank god for shadowfiend and smart party members.

Usually on heroic I end up just saying once a minute or so jump in the turret and see if you can fire action #2. If you can do it. If not just jump out and start DPS'ing again.

I do maybe one heroic every couple weeks after I look at my 79 inn quests still sitting in my log.

Yeah I don't know if when you switch to assassination you just gain a passive 6% damage buff or what

It's kind of a silly conversion rate tbh, pre nerf example
