thats no fun =/

Added to the reddit post but copying over here too:

Turn 2
You must Kill Quarantine node.
You must leave Ballast up while running at least one melee.

Turn 4
You have to feed 4 bugs to every dreadknought.

Turn 5
All but 1 or 2 dps must enter into the hard burn conflags in P2 (alternative require a minimum number of stacks of waxen flesh on the burn phase conflags).
You must 1 tank. You must run 2 melee dps (alternatively all physical DDs).

*quick edit: not really suggesting all these together; I'm just suggesting ideas in general.

Yeah I decided to simplify the turn 4 explination thats pretty much what I was trying to get :P (Thank you)

The Ballast thing really isnt that challenging because when ADS starts casting ballast melee can easily move to dodge it before it even starts showing red death marks if you know how ballast works. But this raised another idea that we should leave the flame aoe node up (Go straight to the right side to quarantine node) There are a few possibilites with this fight until we actually start doing it we don't know which is more difficult.

The turn 5 thing isn't that bad. I feel it may be hard to justify I'm not sure yet :P

How is this even a challenge?

Clear coil in 40minutes, and 4 WP's in another 40mins (including exit/reentry time). Log off for 6 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes.

How is that a challenge? Let's see whether you can hold yourself from logging in for 6 days 22 hours and 40 minutes :D

Do you mean holding 2 bugs the entire fight? to make the last DK have 4 stacks? Otherwise we've already killed it with 4 stack -> 4 stack -> 2 stack (2 bugs last wave :/)

And if you are going to split burn Caduceus you might as well make T1 ADS fun also: 1 Tank.

I know we already do this, but ADS with 4 melee is something many (if not all?) FC's have never done on Turn 2... its not terribly difficult but a lower level challenge; since you could rank the challenges in difficulty.

Yeah You would have to hold 2 bugs from either the Stage 4 or Stage 1 :)

T1 ADS Solo Tank actually sounds fun since the orbs will buff as well so thats not too much to ask for.

As for the 4 melee dps I don't like making challenges off raid comp situations I feel twisting and turning the fight might be more exciting and difficult since some guilds dont have the people to participate in certain raid comps. But its a good idea :)
