NPCs - why are they so kitten useless?
I found the last boss annoying as well. The beginning of the fight was swell, but he eventually back up into a corner with his back facing the wall. Because I’m a thief, I’m all “Awesome, let’s go backstab him”, so I proceed to melee him while Brahm was tanking like a boss. However, to stay outside the insects AoE, I had to backup right against the wall, to which my camera freaked out, said nope, and decided it knew better than me.
While I’m having a good ol’ time doing all kinds of damage in melee, suddenly I just get instant downed without any animation from the boss. Noticing the NPCs don’t give a flying kitten that I’m down, I shadow step away to actually see what is going on, and I notice some marks on the ground, which then proceed to blow me up and kill me.
Oh…alright…cool, there’s marks I have to avoid or I die. Gotcha.
So I res, walk all the way back, enter the fight…and immediately go down again because I just so happened to enter right over the marks as they exploded. Awesome.
When I res the next time, the NPCs killed the boss before I could get back in the middle, and I wasn’t able to interact with the vines to get back in…and nothing was happening. So I had to redo the entire instance over again. Just…ugh.
