Seat of Sacrifice is far too overtuned for LFR

[Rilifane]

The fight is fine. Titania had a much tighter dps check on normal.
That everyone needs to pass QTE or wipe is weird and should imo be changed. Just let the person failing die and the rest continue.

But other than that it's just the usual watch the telegraphs, read boss buffs/ your debuffs if you do it for the first time, don't point stuff into your group.
We had one wipe to not knowing we needed to tank LB3 and one because we used it too soon but after that it was a pretty easy clear. I really don't see a reason to nerf this fight, it's completely fine for a max level story fight. If you reached this part, you haven't been playing for just one day. You got a class to 80 and through all the previous story fights, so you should know the basics and that's honestly all that's required.
I'm genuinly curious how your healers managed to run out of MP unless they were chain ressing constantly. There's not that much to heal outside that one mechanic that brings everyone to 1 HP and requires to top everyone off. But the timer is really lenient and can be achieved even by spamming your weakest aoe heal.

While I don't think it needs to be nerfed overall. If there's one thing I do agree on. How fast someone can tap a button is about the worst way to add difficulty I've seen.

Asura's Wrath would like to have a word with you.

It's fine, it doesn't need to be nerfed to oblivion like Steps of Faith was. There was no new mechanics like most main story bosses, they re utilize existing mechanics because you are expected to know them.....because how else would you have made it that far?

LFR gives you random group comps which is the issue. At most it needs a minor 3-5% nerf to ease up on some of the one shot abilities that are in there. I am more interested in what Square is seeing and clear rates.

Making most content clearable with 0 effort is what has created this problem in the first place. If anything, we need more consistently challenging normal modes so that people can stop getting away with afking/pressing random uncombo'd buttons all fight.

I enjoyed it, it was a slight challenge and wiped twice, in which we learnt our lessons, didn't know the QTE was a "if one person fails, it's a wipe" type. I actually like that SE have tried a tweak and added a consequence of failure to the fight.

I highly doubt it will remain this way because once people realise this is the case, the trolling will ensue, but fair play to them for trying something different.

Trying to understand what LFR is is the only challenge I've had regarding this fight.

I assumed raid finder (looking for raid)

No question that boss is overtuned for LFR even when mechanics are followed. DPS and HPS check are a little above normal.

Follow-up: My only concern is with random LFR comps it maybe 3-5% tuned too high but Square will be the ultimate decider looking at clear rates of the MSQ.

If we’re talking about normal mode, the fight is fine (I haven’t done EX yet—waiting for my weekend off to dip into that). It’s not tuned to high for DPS or for healers. The only issue I really have is the Active Time Event where one person not doing it can screw over the entire group. Just think that’s a nice set up for griefing.

It does not need to be nerfed.

I’m honestly tired of people asking for things in this game to be nerfed. The fight is fine. It is not overtuned. If people are getting killed by the one-shot mechanics, it’s because they’re standing where they shouldn’t be standing. Just don’t do that. Like seriously.

They should ease up on the button mash part, yeah.

In the meantime, one of the things that people should know is that all of these button mash events will accept almost any keyboard or controller button, so you don't need to press literally one button ten times per second--you could press four buttons three times per second or six buttons twice per second. One of the parties I rouletted into had a player who didn't know that and was trying to pass it by mashing left-click on the button that displays on the screen. But really just spiritfingers your keyboard or controller.

Basically the bolded part. On a controller, you can literally press L1/L2/R1/R2, all D-pad buttons, and Circle/X/Triangle/Square, and the bar will literally not move.

I’d like to see it reduced in duration a bit, personally. I don’t have many issues with Active Time Events/Maneuvers/whatever you want to call them, but this one just feels a bit too long.
