If “can’t just dodge to survive” is like the pistol shot or Mai Trinn, i mean using a block utility to avoid it, or either blasting water fields in a coordinated manner, i’m fine with it. If it’s forcing us to wear Cleric’s or Nomad’s or any combo stat, kitten YOU DEVS, you’re going against the first idea you sold us with the game.

More akin to the Laser wall in the Aetherblade fractal (minus the platform), or the spinning fire attack of Sparki which can quickly stack 20 stacks of Burning to any melee attackers. The latter attack is similar to Old Tom’s poison spin, but more deadly due to how OP Burning is currently. They are both unblockable and dodge-exhausting.

In both cases I mention, you are required to break the combat and move around or take shelter. You can hide behind your pet but what if your pet cannot outlast the attack for you to burn the boss down? Hmm… quaggan’s deep thought.

Well, having something that force you range during the encounter isn’t that bad, if it requires you to switch often between range/melee with unavoidable/unblockable hits if you’re not at the right place at the right time, it’s fine.

BUT do not make me craft another kittening set of armor. Ever seen an adventurer going on an adventure with a kittening truck of armors/weapons ? That’s not a large scall war, it’s a kittening dungeon ! ><

To me it sounded more like attacks will be more frequent so that your endurance bar won’t be enough to never get hit by anything. They just want the player to bring some form of sustain like regeneration/heal other trait/explode in water…. somewhat less proactive and more reactive. Why not, these exist since day one so why not try player to bring them. They just need to find a good balance between both.
Maybe some low life/armor class like Ele and Thief will have more trouble in a berserker gear but this is not even sure.

Currently all AI can not move and attack at the same time unless it’s built into the anim.

Hopefully raids don’t turn into kite wars.

If it’s truly like this, it’s fine.

They already solve this problem by making all the Mordrem boss immune to chill, immobilization and cripple.

By the way, have you tried fully melee the Mordrem Tegariff boss in the Tangled Root episode? I’m really curious about how you could tackle such a bullkitten boss the usual way.

So uuh, who wants to do a 10 hammer/mace guardian raid on Saturday?

Sounds like fun. You can count me in if you need numbers.

Since I wouldn’t be able to participate, would it be possible if one of you guys record and upload it? I’d love to see that

EU tho.

Taku.6352:

EU tho.

Doh!

Maybe we should try to organize a NA side one as well? See if either side manages to do it?

Yes please record it for us who didnt buy it!

Personally, I can’t wait for the videos of people low maning or soloing the new “challenging group content.”

Given that Anet made such a big deal of how hard they were gonna be. I think we all know it will happen.
