I would think that’s a good think If I was actually playing druid. Makes the fel bear even more badass/special.

I have spent days. Learn the spell rotations. Farming the gear. Learning Strats. Only to wipe at 10% on final boss. Be nice if I could use my old gear bonuses from legion but no. That’s to easy.

That’s one way to look at it… though in a fairly disappointing expansion, with not a whole lot to do right now, the only content they add in this mid-patch is something the majority of players wont be able to do feels pretty bad.

If the majority of people can complete a challenge then it’s not a challenge and the reward is worthless imo. Also the content will come back again and again and again. People have all their life to complete it.

It’s definitely not impossible lol. At this point all you can do is keep trying or take the L and wait for (eventual?) nerfs.

Eh, I personally wouldn’t want to give it away like lfr loot, but I’d like to open it up to more than what there is now. And people can come back again and again and again, but if it’s just beyond their skill cap then it is what it is.
Either way, I’d bet they nerf it hard by the next timewalking cycle if not sooner… don’t think they like see all their casuals move to ff14 lol

You think that’s broken. I just started doing Affliction.
God I should’ve done it before the “nerfs” made it harder rather than easier.
Not impossible, but its all relative. What is hard for one person is easy for another and impossible for a third.
Those kinda videos aren’t a good gauge of a difficulty scale, these are most definitely people who are within the top % very skilled in the game.
While OP isn’t right about it being impossible per se. The level of difficulty is definitely a put off and will sour a lot of people in that group ~ kinda like it was in Legion.
It does?
I guess when I have something, I want more people to have it… so I can’t relate with the idea of pixels feeling more special if less people earn it.

Not to rain on your parade, but in Legion, the Bear one was actually one of the easiest of the Tank ones, barring VDH.
Every Bear with Luffa could faceroll their way to Werebear.
I’ll always remember our main Guardian druid tank not getting luffa, and banging his head on it, while our Resto druid who sometimes tanked a key or two was dancing around as a Werebear.
i mean i agree that yea skill level is up there for sure i just wanted to show him. i mean hell took me a lot of tries in Legion for my frost one. not saying it isn’t hard im just saying it’s not impossible so to speak.
i can’t speak on it needing a nerf or not since i didn’t do it. hopefully vid acts as motivation for people to continue trying regardless.
So it was fine to entice those people to come back and resub, spending actual money to access this, only to find a last minute bait and switch so people like you who claim not to play that spec could feel more special? How does that work again?

Yes, well you stick to your presumptions and I’ll stick with me on how I remember people complaining about the guardian challenge even in Legion.
It’s why I did the twins on MM. Last phase is just burn Raest while CCing the other.
It’s Prot Paladin in Legion that was near impossible. Lazel is about the only one that got it the first time the tower was around.
Bear was on the easy side. Sorry, actual facts.
Today the situation is completely reversed, especially after that 10% Kruul health nerf. Prot Paladin is really really fair now. Almost easy. Basically “don’t get knocked off and it’ll die” easy.
I’m not speaking of difficulty for the better players, I’m speaking of the general player base that [if memory serves me right] CAME HERE TO WHINE ABOUT IT LIKE THEY ARE NOW.
Yeah but I tried the Worm as Destro and noped right out of there. I can’t get the Fear timing at all to interrupt Fel Burst.
Tried 3-4 pulls on my level 50 monk with Azerite gear with 0 stats and got Tugar to like 60%. Felt way more fair.
Since I have actual 0 clue how Demonology works, even when I attempt to figure it out, my only in for the lock set is Twins. It’s not that bad honestly, I get to Phase 5 pretty consistently, have gotten Karam down a few times, now it’s just surviving the enrage with Raest for like 5 minutes. I keep missing a Drain Life as I kite the adds around.
Neither am I. Luffa carried hard. Literally “stand there and trash at it, ok now do Phase 2”.
I guess we see difficulty and what complaints were abound back then differently so agree to disagree.
