Apparently, someone at blizzard wet the sheets since last reset for the dungeon boss “operation mechagon” boss “HK – 8 aerial oppression unit” and now you can’t solo the dungeon because the timer is too shorty. I’m talking about the drain battery phase timer to bring boss down from air to dps him.
Fix it. Thanks
Did you by any chance accidentally trigger hard mode by killing the first 3 bosses in a specific order (aka you killed them while HK-8 overhead)? Because that changes the timer from 3 minutes to around 50-60 seconds.
Also if this is a bug, you would be better off putting it in the bug forums. You know, the forums that are designed for bug reports.
I killed the first 3 bosses while the aerial unit was overhead so maybe that’s why. Thanks
In theory*, HM HK-8 is soloable, but only just barely. The absolute minimum cast time to bring down the boss’s shield solo and avoid the wipe is 5 seconds less than the enrage timer, so you have to have some advanced mobility to get there in time, plus channel perfectly with a minimum of wasted time.
If you do all the HMs, you can earn a mount, but just triggering HK-8’s HM by itself is just pointless as well as frustrating, so unless you’re going for the mount, just kill the Scrapyard bosses while avoiding where HK-8 is loitering.
*And by “in theory” I mean “in practice, but not without a lot of planning and preparation and a bit of luck”. Because I have done it on this character, soloing the full instance HM to get the mount. But it took some tries.
