Sarkareth is a god awful fight

Yeah I was soloing pretty well with Lance til I ran into Rajang. Then I was forced to switch to SnS because lance was just too slow on recovery reaction vs his hoppity hoppity moves. (this is for MH:W of course)

Yeah they nerfed him down pretty good. His moves are actually slower and Lance is faster to react with now.

The problem is the person that is constantly failing a mechanic that the rest of the raid is managing to handle. The raid is as strong as it’s weakest link… he or she needs to improve. Help them improve.

We do, doesn’t change the fact it’s a badly designed fight and pass fail mechanics in succession or significant amounts is bad for the game, which again BLIZZARD has stated. This fight is loaded with them.

Funny enough.

If you go into the shadow realm, you take no damage from any mechanic. In that regard, tanks with the P3 debuff? Toss 'em into the shadow realm so the raid doesn’t get hit by the debuff explosion. DPS gets the cleave debuff somehow? Get them into the shadow realm. Grab a bomb? Go into the shadow realm. No remotely safe spots to stand for the big explosion that knocks back/does a bunch of damage? Go into the shadow realm.

If you have a really bad player that just can’t help but grab bombs and then dance around next to the boss until it blows up, tell them to do nothing but catch the swirlies in P3. They will either die and no longer threaten the raid, or they will be in the safe pocket dimension where they can’t get hurt or hurt anyone else.

All true, each of those mechanics is also a pass fail, which again Anduin showed is questionable design for this game specifically. Though if everyone does go down you do run into the issue of instagibbed by the boss.

If Tank has Aggro and is not playing Spin the Dracthyr during P3 when there is a frontal cleave that murders people and the raid, there’s no real threatening mechanics besides “Grab bomb, soak some swirlies, WAIT for bomb to fizzle then come back” “Stand in vapor trails for big boom explodey,” and “Stack for meteor.”

Was pretty funny the first time I fought a furious rajang I was just “Oh this is WAY easier than regular Rajang” as a bow main

Here’s a monster I couldn’t solo and gave up trying…

BEHEMOTH!
People don’t know one shot mechanics til they do that fight.

Lol oh god that thing. I beat that during the brief sorta intro version of it. It was not fun lol

Also wanna point out the winds come from a fixed location every time so if you bait the rocks towards the direction it’s coming from then they cast their safe zone “shadow” across the middle of the room.

in what mode, haven’t done heroic version, but normal is a cakewalk

Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax makes everything in this game look like nothing hah.

Yeah, the tank cone in P3 is a positional issue. And if the same person is constantly being hit by it, they are in the wrong spot period.

God

…I hate that lizard lol.

Devs: Hey so we gotta make master rank valstrax…hmmm. what can we do?
Dev 2: You know that beam attack?
Dev 1: yeah
Dev 2: Do it…again.

cant stand those guys all they do is scream their entire video. its obnoxious. i do love the monster hunter games though been casually working my way through rise.

Make half his moves one-shots, defeating the whole point of having big tells for big attacks when just him slamming you with his wing does 150-200 damage.

Is this on Normal or Heroic?

Because if you take a TANK ATTACK as a dps or healer, you should absolutely die. It’s no different from Thunderous Blast from Razzy. It’s literally worse if you survive the Void Slash.

Trying to solo soak a meteor? You’re gonna die without an immunity.

CAn’t dodge the 5 sec room wide AOE? That’s perfectly fine to 1-shot someone. Pay attention to the fight.

Just wait for someone better than you to make a PUG-able strat. ezpz. And you’re complaining about are things that kill you, but don’t actually kill the raid.

i miss unique fights, feels like the same thing anymore. dodge this, soak that. the only two fights this raid i thought were neat were echo and zskarn. i miss fights like oregorger and hanz and franz. or artificers xymox, chronomatic, trilliax, star augur simply cause of the skybox, gorefiend, socrethar, tortos, horridon, iron qon. just feels like things are really bland lately. used to be fights with unique aspects, whole raids without a raid soaking individual cricles, but now its like every boss. they just implement the same abilities on each boss now

lol.

Least hes way less erratic than risen shagaru

it’s not that the person that took the cone dies, it’s that they take the cone and then kill everyone else. You can also have horrendous overlaps between scouring eternity and void bombs or void slash.
