The second something challenging comes around, people cry how hard it is.
I love Torghast. If anything, I hope Twisting Corridors will be MUCH harder than L8 currently.
You’'re prob the first hunter to struggle with Torghast. Pick better powers next time. Build out synergies.
Have you tried adjusting your soulbinds specifically for Torghast? Or are you a more “set it and forget it” kind of player?
I love torghast 
pick garbage out of garbage is still garbage.
just like this content (Maw and Torghast) is a dumpster.
As much fun as it is to make sheep explode and bring elites and bosses to half health by breathing on them, Torghast can be a bit of a chore. It gets especially frustrating with the map generation since you may be sent flying off a chain or have to deal with numerous Death Pools without Purifier’s Flame.
Hey Blizz- if you’re worried we’re having too much fun, then you nailed this xpac.
Torghast- not fun.
The Maw- not fun.
WQs- have never been fun.
Time gated grinding to unlock story- absolutely asinine BS you should never have done.
M+ grind for far less loot- not fun
Less loot from everything, no bonus rolls so you can’t target gear anymore- not fun.
Nothing about this xpac is fun. Honestly, your launches tend to be a bit weak, but usually it helps that there’s a few weeks where we aren’t repeating stuff- I was bored of repeating content within two weeks.
But, at least in every other xpac you have a full story to get through, and that tends to overshadow the lack of other content early one. But not here- I haven’t unlocked the base story, I have other covenants to grind for on alts to see the full story. And it’s taking so long to unlock the story that I’m so bored of nothing interesting happening in it I don’t even care to find out the rest.
The story has been the one thing that could always be a launch win for this game- and you blew it. Shadowlands is the worst xpac right now, if you guys don’t rethink all this time wasting and purposefully unfun garbage, I’m going to start wishing we could go back to BfA.
going w/o a legendary is tantamount to playing with only 9/10 talent tree abilities while the rest of the player base is playing with 10/10. I respect that you and I may have differences of opinion on Torghast, but I don’t think “just play w/o a legendary” is an option…unless all you want to do is run around the map chasing WQs and running around in the nerfed version of raids in Raid Finder.
A guildy of mine had a mix of heroic gear and m0 gear the first week it was possible while the rest of us were without the leggo. He only did as much dmg as everyone else combined in the m0’s we ran. Even with ilvl being relatively equal, that lego makes a huge difference. /2cents
you did a hell of a lot more than me on assassination. I tried it once early on (week 2 in a mix of normal and heroic gear) at layer 3 and didn’t get past the 2nd or 3rd floor. the assassins kept pulling me out of stealth while I was trying to setup a pull or recover CDs. I just threw my hands up and left on the 3rd time it happened when my CDs had just come off and then I got jumped at the exact time the pat I was setting up came by. Like…what’s the point of stealth if you cannot control the circumstances of the fight? I’m not a tank. I’m not a healer. I have CC and surprise. and it’s rather useless in torghast. iunno. this place is not for me AT ALL.
incidentially, I went in once (layer 1) on a resto sham today (post nerf) and I was killing mobs literally in 3 gcd (flame + lava burst + lava burst/lightning). it was pathetic how squishy mobs were. is that what it’s been like for healers and tanks all this time???
I don’t disagree with you, I was mostly answering a nonsensical complaint with a hyperbolic ultimatum. In reality yes it would be stupid to play without a legendary.
The point is Torghast is not that bad. Some people might find it tedious or whatnot but it is really not asking too much to run the lower layers for soul ash twice a week, especially when they can run solo, go afk if needed, and do it whenever they want. There is very little challenge up until about layer 4-5 assuming someone is in some M0 gear. It is really 45 minutes of work for a legendary item. If players are so dead set against it, then they can choose to play without the reward or to build up super slowly with the Soul Ash from quests / table.
Otherwise, they are putting more effort into not doing it, than it would take to just run it and be done.
Same I unsubbed this week.
I sure do enjoy that free Anima I get at the end of a timed run!
