Alexander Gordios Savage T3

[Singularity]

Do we need to have this rant every single new raid tier?

It happened in 2.21, it happened in 2.41, it happened in 2.56, it happened in 3.21, it will happen again in 3.41 and in 3.56. This seriously got old.

Yes, yes we do. Until and unless they stop doing it.

With coil you could say that there's story in there that everyone should get a chance to see, and that people need to beat old coil so they can catch up to do current coil - both of which are valid points and neither of which are true of Alexander savage.

If, as others have said, the only reason left to do AS3 is for the challenge, then what's the point now it's been nerfed? Is there any satisfaction in knowing you beat a watered-down version?

the people who could clear this back when, have cleared

That's not even slightly true. There will be people that start playing the game today who will acquire both the skill and inclination to clear this fight at its original difficulty, and now they will never have the chance to.

The nerf doesn't change that fact. With higher gear available and no reason for most of the player base to attempt it, the original difficulty is long gone.

I would say that it does. You can choose to wear lower-iLvl gear (or use the iLvl sync). You can find like-minded people to run with or friends willing to help. You can't give the piston lubricants back their full HP though, nor can you make them cast Mucilage with its original timing.

You can theoretically find 7 people who want to spend 4 hours doing one turn of CoB in darklight gear. That doesn't mean you actually will.

Agreed. Before it was possible, and now it's not.
