This boss is way too difficult, the only way to kill it with a legit group of 40 people is to die-release every single time until the boss died. The boss itself does insane damage, the sleep is 4s with no DR whatsoever and will put you to sleep over and over if you get touched once but the moving puddles are so fast it’s impossible not to be touched at least once, making it 2-3 4 touches, ect. The shrooms have 350k health, the whole area is completely covered in a matter of 30 seconds, please nerf it for the Event.
Don’t tell me like " oh but in classic it was that hard " sure but now it’s Retail, new players are flowding, and this 40 man group is not a premaid raid, but an LFR retarded group, that doesn’t know what to do for the most part and are just there to get the loot. Doomlord Kazzak can literally be soloed by a 208 tank, when Emeriss cannot even be killed by a 40 mans raid.
I agree. The sleep/stuns SHOULD DR. That fight is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen in game in YEARS. The devs who designed it are the worst bunch of sadists ever. And to top it off, the gold at the end doesn’t even come close to paying the repair bill from dying 100 times in one encounter. It needs nerfed HARD.
Emeriss is hard for sure. I like doing Ysondre because you can pull her into the water and have everyone swimming on her sides and you avoid the sleep things on the land. Luckily I just landed Nightmare Blade on my DK today. That was the last cool thing I really wanted from the Dragons of Nightmare. I still need Akamas edge on my Rogue. I only have 1 character that can loot it though
Normally I would never post in a year old thread, but since others already have and it’s relevant; it should be fine. No offense Chainsa, but Emeriss is fine and as loathe as I am to use the term, this is very much a L2P / situational awareness issue.
Also they have nerfed this encounter already. Consider yourself very fortunate that the ‘Mark of Nature’ ability is no more. Otherwise you’d never be able to kill her by corpse running.
I get that coming from a player like you who has a lot of achievement points so I assume you’ve been playing for a really long time.
However think of players like Boostins, I know that the character he’s posting on is probably an alt on an other account just to post here anonymously, but how are you expecting new players " like him " to do these combats ?
Like no flame but there is absolutely no new players that will ever manage this fight ever. Dying 10 times is not a fun raiding experience. And as I said, Lord Kazzak is so easily soloable as a tank that having a 40 man raid struggle to kill an equivalent boss coming from the same event really sucks.
An argument about it already being nerfed and that " we should be happy it’s no longer having the only thing that made it actually impossible " when even without it it’s extremely boring, difficult and useless is not a good argument in my opinion. Already having it nerfed so that players can just revive after dying non-stop until he dies does not mean it’s fine and it does not need a new nerf to make it less likely to die from the encounter 10 times in a row.
Don’t worry about me, I finished collecting absolutely everything off these bosses back in like 2019 (at the latest I am like 95% sure). Emeriss and Lethon were my holdouts for certain pieces. And how I managed to do it was by tanking the bosses myself since I knew others were going to mess them up. And then on rogue being very selective at attacking when it just felt right (note this doesn’t just mean attack at 1% hp). Too big a group was bound to fail along with too small.
But no the mark of nature isn’t the bs part of it. It’s just the damn shrooms from people running around like chickens and blocking a good kite path. Or idiots coming in and tanking, even had someone compliment me on my tanking as brm while low ilvl for that time.
I and others already made comparisons to the vanilla bosses like even before classic came out, and we got to see a clear disparity with both being “out” for 2020 with classic leadup to naxx. I think a few were saying that on classic the bosses were nothing like on retail. It doesn’t matter they were designed against zerging.
I had a few druid multiboxers mucking up attempts at times with their severely undergeared characters by ripping threat and a few times resetting everything. But that’s past me, focusing on current prepatch stuff and like 2 more things off doomwalker.
