Underpin & changes he needs

Community General Discussion

So Ive done some attempts for about 3 hours on my 645+ boomie and i really want to mention some things about a fight that , is NOT hard rather than buggy , messy , clumpsy and heavily RNG.

No1 , underpin does his heal shield RANDOMLY which means you never know if you gonna rotate your dmg to push his hp, or hold it to break the shield.

No2 cronies no matter if i tried to bait em to certain places in the arena , 4 spawn where i want and 2 spawn to narnia & casting from there aswell ofc which makes it lame. It happens often , 5 outta 8 pulls i do.

No3 His flamethrower animation is a transparent “flame” in a full explosive redish bomb clown fiesta with ontop of that a wierd hitbox… So sometimes u feel safe , bam roasted while seeing your char outside of the radius.

No4 his melee hits , do 2 much dam. You designed such a hectic fight and ontop of that the boss 2.5hit me and it has 371 mill hp…?! That makes the fight LAME.

No5 our beloved BRAN. So he is totally hot garbo and dies to literally everything , he cannot tank if you play as a healer , gets every single cast in the face , literally perma dead . Another joke by You blizz i suppose.

No6 CDS NOT BEING RESETED. Is this just the cherry on the top ?! Does that contribute to the fun this mess of a design underpin is ?

Honorable mention: The legendary cronnies bugg which underpin summons em and they spawn to the edge of balcony above arena

And im wondering… Did any of the devs actually played and tested this garbo mess?!
Im really tired and unmotivated to play it again since i feel like a beta tester .

My best pull was 31% , unfortch.
Just nerf it blizzard … And fix all the dreaded issues… Ty.

No he doesn’t. He does it on a timer but the timer doesn’t start until he first reaches 80%.

The cronies can only spawn in unoccupied locations. If one of the nearest available spots is occupied, either by an add or a corpse, it will spawn on the opposite side.

Had him as healer, didn’t die once.

Fix the lack of cd resets and the bug that makes add spawns not reset when you die. Leave everything else.

This is the one part of the OP I support. the rest is simply a “look at DBM timers, watch your positioning, and play the mechanics properly” issue. :beers:

I did the fight, it’s horrible.

I killed him on ?? difficulty and didn’t get the mount. Did you?

It’s doable but boss requires many tries and a correct placement to bait robots to the desired position

Yeah but no, the fight is a total chaotic mess… hands down… Yes you can get a form of a “good rng” i had that myself with some tries today got him 20% BUT thats totally RNG based… where the bombs are gonna spawn, if you get good cronies placement (no matter the clean area u stay SOMETIMES u get a cronie in narnia)

it definently needs HUGE tuning and making it less RNG based.
This fight is all about the “perfect” rng pull.

I’ve done it 4 times now and it plays out pretty much the same every time. His actions are a direct result of your actions / positioning.

It´s a pure mechanics fight. Fail on the mechanics, even just a little bit, and you´re dead. Play them properly, each and every time, and he will eventually die even if you’re heavily undergeared. better gear just makes it go a little bit faster, but you still have to play the mechanics.

And TBH I´m glad Blizzard is moving back in this direction, for well over a decade everything except highest level raid and later M+ was outgearable to the point of being a faceroll… And now you can even wipe on the first boss in LFR if everybody decides the adds and Bikes are an “everyone else” problem…

Which is IMO exactly how it should be, because it rewards people for proper play and not just for swiping their credit card and getting boosted. :beers:

That sucks tbh as tank but dps you should manage your CD or be high ilvl

I thought its percentage based but yes could be a bit more consistent. What I find really awful is that some classes like enh are obliterating the shield even without cds. I would play him again with enh tbh.

This will take some practice but its possible to bait them correctly. You just need to make sure the boss is not near old corpses and realy near the edge of the arena. In some tries I could kill bran though cuz he makes the whole encounter messy

had no issues with that just step a bit mor to the side to make sure you wont get hit

YES YES YES I hate him so much I want him to become a raid boss so I can beat him into a pulp

So true. Waiting and sitting is such a bummer when you just want to hit your head against a wall.

All in all a messy fight and I liked zekvir a bit more.

The melee damage is still a problem though, as it was with Zek’vir as well.
I feel like it makes the bosses difficult for the wrong reason, and makes it a less fun challenge.

Just feels like lazy design to me.
