Batraal DEAD!!!

If a melee has the means to be self sufficient or provide decent utility (able to heal self, Siphon TP etc, respectively) I don't see a reason to shun them. This coming from an ARC/THM.

Each person in our group had R50 melee's and archers and casters classes ranked up, we all opted to go with classes that would tax our heals the least. It wasn't about shunning ourselves, it was about what would be best for the clear. Having the abilities from all those others classes helped a ton in terms of keeping ourselves alive.

I remember a lot of people whining their eyes out until today that archers were RUINED, NERFED TO DEATH and all that

By the way, as soon as people learn how to move, it'll be very possible even without archers.

It's kinda hard with server latency though. I try to move even in solo play and still wind up getting hit by AoEs >.>

I was more just speaking in general, but your point is understood. If you have all the options that's great.

Gold Chest(Batraal) = 100% drop of Armour(1-2x), Blue Chest = random drop of Dark Matter or Armour.

Won't give away the strategy.. But I will give everyone a little hint that have not beaten it yet.

Hint: positioning and sharing certain abilities/spells

That's all you really need to know. The thing about these bosses is the fight itself isn't hard but one or two screw ups by a healer or tank can cost you a full wipe. Once you understand positioning it's pretty cake walk in my opinion as long as everyone is on top of their game.

Good Luck!

Hmm, at least three archers... Though there might be another one in the background. Color me surprised.

Sarcasm aside, grats.

Don't worry. I see you working on CON. You'll be invited.

Edit: Oh and to TC I almost forgot: Grats & GJ ^^
