Pug or not, this boss can’t be done. It is lame as hell especially in Tyrannical.

Why i should not put my spec to Ele find a premade booster team and let them do the dirty work as they do i assume 243986526507625680432 times before. Eventually i will pay 300k in repairs. How the heck design this and think it was a good enjoyable fight for everyone? Another proof that devs don’t play what abominations they create.

Happy easter.

What exactly is the problem with the boss?

The trick is to stand still on the dispell mechanic, or when it falls of on you. And be in the light area during that. Then it is GG. People are just suiciding there right now…

At some point you would require some basic form of coordination to manage this boss, but I myself hasn’t reached it yet and I doubt that you has as well. At lower keys, the problem usual comes from mechanical misunderstanding of the boss (people panic and forget that there’s only one source of damage on this boss which is easily predictable). At medium-high level, it’s either throughput issue or inability of DPS players to manage their defensives accordingly. Fortunately, almost any tank that I know about, can solo this boss, and if you have at least one responsible DPS in your group, you three can also continue to just push through, and it will be immensely easier for the healer.

I hate this boss with a passion. Tried 25 yesterday. There is too much movement. Debuffs has to chase light slice. They have to move, while they are required to stop.

Add tank mechanic that stuns the boss and stop rotating the ground or make dispeled unit immune to own debuff damage.

This boss is so poorly made.

There is no dodging orbs when you have the debuff. The debuff comes after the orb-phase. When you go to the line of the dark/light you can stand still for 5-6 seconds in the light even when you have the debuff.

Sounds like a skill issue to me :stuck_out_tongue:

But frankly, that boss just sucks honestly. Especially for ranged casters.

Lies, 3 sec tops.

Idk how you count but i have a video of our +21 where we did indeed still everything wrong and the tank finished the boss. I am lying dead and i can easy count 5 seconds. You seem to have very long seconds.

Link me the vid please.

You can youtube the dungeon. There are quite some available.

Edit; whatever

Look at the timer on the right: 21:15 in the light

Again: 21:10; still in the same light.

The debuff stays in total for 8 seconds. It really is not hard to time your debuff expire while standing in the light. You only want to be sure the first one you dispell is in the light and is standing still.

You think Manifest Timeways is annoying? I have a lot more annoying bosses in my list.

That one is OK. I like it actually.

Thanks, this changes everything, like my ability to count to 5.

This is why i am recording. To understand how much i did wrong, where i can improve and how desision making is while not having the pressure during playing. The chaos of some fights becomes way less chaos by just rewinding.

What’s so difficult about it? Dodging orbs or standing still when you’re dispelled?

This fight is not hard, I have done it countless times with no issue.

That fight is so simple. The biggest mistakes groups make are;

  • Insta Dispel someone without knowing where they are or while they are sprinting around and easily in the wrong zone at the time of dispel
  • Not dispelling at all and leaving both to expire, or by extension dispelling when the other is about to expire.
  • not healing people up in between the the debuff expiring
  • dps not simply not watching what they are doing and being in the wrong zone for a dispel or debuff expiring
  • People with the debuff (and when discs are coming out) running left and chasing a zone while dodging, instead of running right and easily getting tot he zone and being able to easily avoid discs.

Theres much more besides But I think I have more than made a point.

Depends with whom you do it. With a group of friends and discord is absolutely much easier than pugs from lfr.
I did it on +20 and we only managed to do it because the healer was a beast. I totally understand the frustration especially when the last boss that should be more difficult is a walk in the park

That and most classes can dispell themselves so make sure you in the light and dispell. Do not rely solely on the healer to dispell you as the buff has a timer and will run out.

You’re already 2770 rating. Any key above is a “skill issue” in a way, because you are now only competing against other players for the rewards. You’re not unskilled, but if you wanna go for the 0.1%, you are not competing against the game, you’re competing against the 99.9% of other players :+1:

For me, I 2-chested this key easily first week in +20. I thought it was easy, but my group actually knew the mechanics. So if you wanna succeed there, you need to find people who are capable. There are lots of rating inflated people this season, because of how easy many keys are, and obviously because of boosting.
