Azure Vault’s still going to be a pretty tightly timed key a lot of the time, even with the bonus 90 seconds. Could we maybe get an extra teleport option to the last book we interacted with between Leymore and Azureblade? If you wipe, that’s a rather long run back - potentially extra if you are not doing the frog trash skip and have whelps up after Leymore to wait on. If you’ve got someone with the mobility of a paladin in the group, it’s going to take longer to recover.
Other ideas to improve tuning: frogs should jump less so we can cleave them more readily, and maybe drop the hp of the mobs a little in the “intended” pathing so people can actually feel like doing that as a reasonable option rather than optimizing ultra whelp/stone elemental pulls between Leymore and Azureblade to get percent so they can skip frogs’ winding corridor and do a wall crawl and drop down just before Telash – which is generally more reliable to time the key unless they’re ridiculously over-geared for the key. Make the frog corridor more compelling as an optimized path with tuning adjustments to entice its utilization.
With such minor adjustments in this hotfix today, I expect Azure Vault continuing to feel like one of the most challenging mythics to time, especially in pugs. The overall crux of why it’s one of the hardest to even complete, let alone time aren’t fully addressed yet.
