This boss was obviously designed as a roadblock for the WFR guilds. The devs in the boardroom meeting be like “hey they will use weakauras for everything, let’s make it so complicated that it will frustrate to the max” now the guilds who cleared 4/8 have to deal with this edited by moderator, ranging from egg-break overlap with puddles, syncing every addon and module, including, but not limited to nameplates, interrupt scripts, custom instalation of liquid updater and aura pack (thanks liquid, you’re the best)
In fact, without use of external software (addons) and modifying Retail folder with custom ZIP pack etc, this boss is impossible to deal with - and even one player with outdated version can ruin entire pull, making it extremely frustrating for everybody else. Don’t get me started on having teams to chain knockbacks and stuns for parasites, including back-ups because people gotta deal with mechanics (can’t interrupt or stun or knocback coz away from raid waiting for dispel etc)
Mythic raids used to be challenging, but fun. This? not fun at all. I’m lucky to be in a guild where every1 is solid and tries to get on with it, realizing it will take hundreds of pulls to maybe kill it eventually. I can imagine many guilds will struggle to recruit enough players for their roster, r even disband. Well done, blizzard, you outdone yourselves against all odds, once again!
