Oh not really what I ment, was saying that the "times up" for the dps check is actually several seconds before the roar/push so, so even if we killed all 3 adds just before that roar/push we would still end up dead, we eventually cleared it by pretty much having everyone, heals and tanks, just straight dps. We actually thought it was the circles for a while but nupe we just stood together in mid with for shield and heals, after the quick burn, so yeah like I said that part was just a confusing mess, needs a castbar or something cause that push felt off as a times up.

The circles are decorative, you can stay in one place for that.

its really not that bad honestly i cleared it with a df group where only 1 person had experience.. he took 6-7 minutes to clearly explain the mechanics n what to do = cleared with no wipes since every1 listened.. fair enough healer had to lb3 but still :P

It's the Step of Faith syndrom:
Nobody have time to learn mechanics, but enough time to demand nerfs

One hit kills keep the mechanics intact 2 mainpatches later
People only have problems because suddenly they have to do mechanics instead of ignoring mechanics

I think Ozma's mechanics are fine, the biggest problem with the fight at least from what I can see is that there is literally little "room" for error, we've had massive arenas for our 24p raids so far and it was usually easy to avoid/scatter when people failed mechanics. Ozma however doesnt have a big enough arena to avoid poorly placed mechanics so stuff like meteors, laser, orbs, heck even the bleed thing ends up causing wipes cause its hard to get away from those not so quick players.

Also shade portal + meteors seem... trolly! Had a fight where we beat shade part but people were still marked for meteors so when everyone went through and back out for Omza and the raid instantly died cause I guess we still got hit by those otherworldly meteors... >.<

Nidhogg has a DPS check? Ran it once in DF cleared it on the second try without anyone explaining anything. So if anything the DPS check is low enough for 1-2 players to be able to carry it as long as the 2 other DPS are doing more than level 50 DPS. If anything needs to change it's players not able to properly deal damage and if they can't clear content because of it then it is time to change how they look at the game as they clearly aren't passing the DPS check for content that most overgear by quite a lot. Only ones that should have any kind of struggle are those in i205-210 gear.

Final steps of Faith is a great fight. I would be upset if they nerf it.

I tried Final steps of Faith last night at 1:30 in the night on a european server, at GMT+1 time. Probably not the best moment to get grouped with skilled players. I was rather surprised it wasn't a 'mostly graphic', but easy fight like the end of 3.0, which is kind of nice.
Though i thought all the raging about Nidhogg on the forums was minstrel ballad. Not MSQ story version. :P
