Jumped back into 11.1.5 after taking a break from the game. I saw they added a revisited version of the Horrific Visions from BFA so I was actually excited. But it seems like the wow devs have managed to take Brann, dress him up as “Soridormi”, and put him in these visions with us. This follower is just so broken. She loves to pull absolutely everything, even if you skirt it by miles. This leads to getting herself killed a lot because I don’t even notice when she peels off since her follow distance seems to be so great. The best part is she loves to park it outside Thrall’s throne room and be of no help at all. I’m really not sure how the devs manage to make such awful followers, but it’s almost comical at this point.
Useless, and makes mob health much higher than the damage it does. At least that’s how it was in the beginning, 100% troll on blizzards part. Turn it off.
Yeah. I’ve been running visions with a friend and we ended up just ditching her. She brings nothing of value to the table while making things take longer to kill.
I actually didn’t catch the part where adding her increases mob difficulty. I assumed it was beneficial since blizzard kind of puts her assistance in your face. I appreciate the info, will be ditching her from now on.
Yeah. She’s there for players who frankly aren’t capable of doing the content on their own.
If you’re decent to good, she makes it harder than not having her.
If you’re bad and would otherwise fail early even on 0-low masks, she can carry you a little bit.
Or lower ilvl characters who can utilize her as a tank. I used her on my cloth lowbies that were glass cannons to get free heroic gear from 5 masks.
That’s also fair, I was definitely speaking from the perspective of someone playing the same character they’ve been working on for the whole (main) patch.
It wouldn’t be so bad if she also didn’t straight up equal an entire extra player when it comes to the HP scaling, since you can bring her as DPS or another player as DPS, and the increase is the same either way, which definitely does not seem worth it, maybe if it was half the increase at most
I love how it was known to be broken when this event started, and still is useless on the next version of it lol.

This could have been a way to implement something similar to Brann in Delves, where you have selective skills that help you deal with the ridiculous mechanics on top of all the mask neutering.
Things like maybe a stun removal (cough cough), or things that actually complement various playstyles.
The gift of the titans is nice for clearing mobs, but is almost useless when it comes to the elite mobs that brutalize just because of sanity and their mechanics. It would be nice if that buff was either activatable, or something that is a triggerable effect in general combat.
The haste is nice, but the 100% sanity immunity is almost completely pointless, as it’s not the trash mobs that will drain your sanity. It’s the things like orb from the drag, or any elite that hits you once, and 50% of your sanity is gone. Ignoring if you get a random stun or group while trying to dance around with all the other mechanics going on.
Yeah, I remember week one I tried her out a couple times and hated it. The only KINDA nice thing, was in early stages, before we got to higher sanity resistance, that she could resurrect you with an orb if you lost sanity. So for use lower ilvl folks or so folks struggling, it helped…but once you even got a smidgen of hourglass talents and a piece or two of better gear that became moot.
Dunno why they made enemies such hyge sponges. They could have either made enemies do more damage, or lessen the rewards if you used Soridorito if they’re so hellbent on making her a negative
If they released stats on completions of things like 5 mask achievements and 8 mask with and without Soridormi I’d guess it’s probably something like 90%+ without.
I mean original visions didnt have NPCs helping you, and also there an option where you can disable it
