These changes are intended to address high-damage, frequently cast magical tank attacks as well as to non-magic dispel spells that require significant throughput increases if they cannot be removed.
So you guys put these changes in now with some half baked excuse about tank damage? Nobody is buying this. Late season tuning to try and save a season you guys absolutely buried. Hoping the patch brings participation back up? The core problems are still there. Do better.
Thats not even the problem from this boss…EVERYTHING ONES SHOTS YOU on the lowest of keys for a very tiny mistake. Its tuned like a Cutting Edge boss from Tomb of Soakgares…
This boss is about 10x harder than the rest of the dungeon.
What do you mean? This is tuning in a timely manner to preserve the integrity of the season. Decidedly smart tuning decisions from a developer team definitely not trying to salvage some degree of credibility.
Seriously. I have more trouble on that boss, even on a +2, than I ever had on pre-nerf H Queen. The pull mechanic is too powerful for my survival hunter to get away more than once every couple minutes (aspect of the cheetah). The groups I’ve been in can handle the rest of the dungeon without much trouble, but once we get to that boss there’s always wipes and we don’t time the key even if we have 5 min left on the timer. It doesn’t matter what key level.
I’d rather you just buffed the actual tank specs so we don’t have to deal with this nonsense in season 2.
I know the Blizzard way is to never admit you made a mistake, but both the tank sustain nerfs and the AOE stop nerfs were bad decisions and need to be reverted ASAP.
Agreed. Ara kara is such a BS key. Even if first and second bosses are done right, third has a VERY high chance to kill timer. Its overloaded with mechanics.
Lol yea. It’s such a chaotic fight compared to the other 2 bosses. Has such higher damage with the ticking poison and there is so much movement. A full melee group guarantees atleast someone dieing.
Kind of the opposite of Stonevault where the first 3 bosses are harder and the last boss is a joke.
I feel healers should be better equipped to deal with those, maybe bringing back more universal dispels and removing the cooldown on healer dispels would feel better when there’s so many high impact abilities like those today.
