Bardam's Mettle is nothing more than a tutorial on how to dodge

I think this was a great fight. It definitely caught me off-guard when i couldn't attack at first.

I hope they do more like this in the future.

The only thing that threw me off as far as boss mechanics go initially is the fact that the first boss' charge does MORE damage if you're close to it, as opposed to less like most attacks of the nature.

I made the mistake of using Cover on a melee DPS who was being targeted by it, and it didn't end nicely.

Ya but if you remember the 2nd boss of Gubal HM. a similar mechanic was used there.
