Although I know this is a multiplayer game, I absolutely loves the gauntlet release. Funnily enough I also loved this one (same dev team?). The solo instances in both these updates have been a real thrill. Reason being they’re the only content that you yourself are responsible for succeeding in. It’s far too easy in all the other content to rely on other players. The illusion chambers and the final instance however punished you if you didn’t have the right setup of skills and tactics.
I finished the last instance with my ranger 5 times including the not dying achievement and it forced me to use skills and pets is never even used in the past year (bear tank and shortbow stealth ftw!). Being a full condition spec being able to drop all my conditions, retreat, stealth then let my pet tank until my timers reset was something I could do in the past but never had a reason too. It was like my ranger had a purpose.
It is a shame it’s buried behind a Zerg fest, but I can live with that I still had no issues getting to the top of level 3 each time. Again traps I never use came into play to prevent trains, so ranger love there.
I’m guessing when we kill the seed pod at the top it will wipe out all conditions in Kryta though. Turns out that was the source of poisons/bleeds/fire/confusion
