My guild has been in here two times since AQ 10 dropped, and it was a cakewalk both times. I agree it needed to be tuned up but now it’s incredibly difficult. We are all well geared in BWL bis or close to it. We came again tonight, and everything is hitting super hard, mobs are worse than the bosses, but the bosses have been tuned up. I play a mage, and Evocation came up twice during the General Rajax fight. After Moam HM the chest was bugged and did not open! This is a real bummer because the AQ gear isn’t all that good and I’m in here trying to get more enchanting patterns, which only drop from the chests. We ended up giving up after a few attempts on Ossirian, 3 hours into the raid and running over time by 45 minutes. It seemed like we were trying to do a 20-man raid with 10 people. I hope Blizzard fixes this fast!
we just been bring like 15 or 16 people an zug zuging it
The Rajaxx fight is incredibly tedious now. Massive health sponge waves super zzz.
They absolutely did put it in the patch notes the other day. But yeah, they went a little too hard with the health increase.
I completely agree. It definitely needed a buff. But holy cow, AQ10 is very hard now for 10 people. We brought a group full of people in Tier2 and 2 healers. We couldn’t do it. We need to bring 3 more dps and we still struggled.
Technically, they did mention the changes in a blue post though. Just FYI.
Ayamiss is pretty stupid atm with the triple health. If you have a few melee dps in the raid and not super stacked with ranged the boss will take forever to land. I don’t see how you’re meant to do it with 10 people unless you bring 0 melee dps. Also Rajaxx is a massive health sponge atm, it takes forever to do the waves. It’s not even hard, it’s just tedious on the healers and mana users, who have to conserve mana and can’t get a chance to drink.
It’s amazing to me that people complained about a ZG equivalent raid meant to be cleared in dungeon gear being too easy after they cleared it in full bis with full buffs.
Makes me never want to do this “AQ10” again
Me too. Tryhard Chads that destroy games are simply the worst!
So in classic 2019, AQ20 was thee most unpopular raid. Like 2-4 weeks into launch, the main GDKP guild would maybe host one a week and that’s a huge maybe.
You could still fill a ZG like at any point. But aq20 fell off fast.
And with how it is now, it definitely feels miserable and has a ticking clock on how ppl r willing to do it.
Ayamiss is a pug killer atm. Supposedly the raid is tuned for 10 man. But even with a 15 man group it’s easily a 3-5 minute fight (in comparison Nef is a 3-5 minute fight after first add phase and that’s with 20 ppl)
The trash after Buru is miserable especially with hard mode non-stack mechanics. Definitely a huge tone change in comparison to ZG and having a good time with the boys.
I only complain, bc atm it’s easy enough to find a group. But any longevity for this instance is gonna die fast and it’ll be difficult or impossible to find groups later in the future with subpar equipped alts. Unless we get a huge influx of population again.
I looked for them, but didn’t find them. Possibly I’m looking in the wrong place? I looked for the same thing with ZG and never found it. I swear on my mother’s grave the Hakkar HM fight was tuned up one to two weeks after the phase dropped. It wasn’t on the same level of OMFG as the AQ changes though.
