I feel ya. Unless something changes, I’m not doing anything past layer 2 once a week.
I did that boss the first week on layer 2 and honestly I think it was probably the single hardest boss encounter I have had in Torghast, considering my ilvl and the rest of factors at the time. Screw that boss.
If they buffed it today, I am running on old info because I have not been able to play since the reset. Last week however, I could walk through a layer 3 with my eyes closed and I mean, it was like fighting regular world mobs.
If they buffed the crap out of it, I would have to check it out for myself which I plan to do as soon as I can. If that is the case, it still goes back to a “Do what is comfortable and bump up as you are able” type of deal.
It was meant to be a long term goal, not a zerg to capping soul ash.
One of the golden rules of gaming that Blizzard ignored that ped to this mess is not to tie usrdcore content to the main story. Theyll have to all rot in that tower and that’s that if they wanted to do hardcore then theyd do something akin to the green fire questline. A self contained story with a flashy title so everyone knows what you accomplished.
Not going to lie, i almost… ALMOST logged in today with the plan of just pvping and seeing how that went.
Then saw they made Torghast even harder for my healers (healing is all im interested in doing… always.)
Blizzard is really forcing my hand here.
got that one too. impossible to kill on layer 7 even with my burst and all my cd, interupt the first cast then he just do it again 2 sec later and destroy me.

just ragequit layer 5. had a 300khp Consular.
couldn’t even get it to 1/3rd hp before getting torched. absolutely freaking overtuned and not balanced at all.
There’s no skill invovled.
mix in dogmeat anima powers and the debuff that gives it 50% increased damage and its literally undoable.
pure cancer

floor 1 is open for you, OP.
even on layer 6 i need to do all my cd to live now. but there is always a freaking assassin that spawn just before to half my cd are taken and…yeah tried in bear, its harder now than doing it as feral.
Did a 7 on resto druid. Mostly only doable because I got entangling roots powers early.
Tried 8, just gave up on the 2nd floor. Didn’t get entangling roots powers early so it was just a slow obnoxious mess.
The assassins spawn a lot more frequently now, possibly just because we go so much slower. Without roots powers these take forever to kill as a resto druid.
Certain mobs have a slow enrage mechanic where they build damage over time and become immune to CC. This is horrendous now that everything takes twice as long to do. It’s just a DPS check, which in Torghast essentially is actually an RNG check because your DPS is entirely dependent on good anima power RNG. It’s pathetic, terrible design.

Alright I just did a layer 7 run of torghast with the new changes and I can’t say that I really see the problem that people are complaining about. It was hard but I am only ilvl 171 and I still beat it with what seemed to me like average powers (except for at the very end where I got a bit lucky on the vendor).
When the boss of the 1st floor of layer 7, kills your defensive pets and proceeds to kill you from full under turtle stance before you finish reviving your pets there is a problem. 175 ilevel…
Edit: Floor? Layer? Wing? Purple Pancake? Who cares, Blame it on the torghast rage.
I already decided that I hated Torghast in week 1, but managed to suffer through doing two l3’s last week as a bear - go to do that this week to get my legendary, and got destroyed by the empowered consular floor boss 4 times in a row. I tried every defensive cooldown I had. Then I got into a group as a tank, and ran up against that guy again, only to get mowed down in similar fashion. This should not be this hard.
I’m really surprised by the changes honestly. You only get ash in there so why do they even bother? They made it into such a chore(and it was bad enough before). It just makes no sense to me.

I noticed this too lol. To get any further right now I’d have to get lucky with the powers because one of the last bosses was just a big wow. Way too much health.
Why the assassins? LET US PEE!

They saw how Islands flopped hard, because it was bad designed and optional. Then, they did Torghast, wich is also bad designed, but with mandatory “content” to farm, to lock us in doing it, and they’ll call it successfull, yay…
This xpac had the opportunity to make a better game, but instead they are trying again to forcing us doing content to be merely relevant, you know, because most classes are broken and weak without those borrowed powers.
Yea this is where I Alt f4. After I died on a normal pull with 1 elite that should be easy. Where I rezzed an Assassin spawned right on top of me. Like really? I killed it which they have waaaay to much HP. Was contemplating what I want to do another spawned. I said are you kidding. Just worst unenjoyable experience ever.
Why don’t they have the unlimited tower Torghast that is optional be hard? This content isn’t fun and it’s gated behind a mandatory resource. Torghast is just a huge time sink that ruins your week. It’s completely exhausting.
Maybe that’s why the assassin’s are there to begin with so everything isn’t such a cakewalk.
Layer 8 Torghast should be able to be done in green gear with no enchants. It isn’t supposed to be challenging content. It is supposed to be fast pace RPG Solo content where you get insane Anima powers to nuke the content.
Making Torghast into extremely difficult content that you are forced to do and have a penalty for doing solo and have extreme gear checks on will only lead to unsubs and losing the player base. No one wants to waste their time in there when they just want to get this choir done fast so they can enjoy the content they actually do care about.
You are wrong. The Devs are wrong. This is a mistake they need to fix.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoy challenging content and competitive Rated content. We already have that though. Players don’t want Torghast to be this choir that ruins your week and gets in the way of actual fun content. There are other games out there now where you can maximize your fun. Blizzard has made a huge misted by making their players suffer instead and they will leave.
