We had to have our druids respec to skull bash which was lame. I had to hold back on dps a lot just to have the energy to interrupt. The fight was a slow boring slog because if one heal gets off, it does an unreasonable amount of healing.
the boss frankly has too much HP. its 2.8 million. Twice as much as most of the others.
We can’t really go ham on aoe because of the energy requirements to kick. One or two messups or mistimed globals does too much healing.
wow you had to use a different rune? for a certain situation in an RPG? i feel so bad for you man 
we lose 30% damage. druid runes have always been dogssht in sod.
and the interrupt costs 20 energy. You can’t reliably swipe spam aoe or youll miss the cast. It is lame since shamans just get everything for free.
as someone else said, don’t you have mages counterspelling too? this is a raid comp issue. if your raid comp is so unbalanced that you can only get by with druids using skull bash, well, at least you are able to get by
counterspell is something like a 24 second cooldown. You can’t really rely on it other than being a 3rd backup.
you prolly dont know this but CS CD is 24 sec and the adds cast healing thing every 2-3 sec.
so no.
requiring 8/20 of your raid to have short cd interrupts isn’t great. Its doable but the fight is long and boring. Stands out too much compared to everything else.
They should cut a million HP off the boss tbh.
cant you just use 2 tanks to tank all 4 adds behind the corner (left of boss spawnpoint) and tank the boss top left from his spawn?
I mean thats how we done it in classic 2019, no heals went through because the adds are los with the boss and boss just dies. I dont play sod anymore but if its the same just do that.
they made that impossible. heals have unlimited range. This boss will be the pug breaker.
ah okay oh well then I agree it needs a rework at least on heat 1 (pug level) probably lol.
and kick is 10 seconds… it’s called making and sticking to a solid rotation of abilities
Looks like they just nerfed the cast time on the heals. Feels like this discussion should be laid to rest.
Yeah I’m shocked they dont seem to receive any temp bans with how constant it is, probably a dev alt
Yea each add is kickable by a single class that has a short cd kick like rogue warrior shaman druid now
There’s a handful of people like him that just live on these forums and troll all day and night.
