The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

[dragonkyn20]

While I myself don't mind it being nerfed a bit...I got a good laugh out of this part. At best its a little under current T5 difficulty which is already nerfed via overgearing/Echo buff and even then in my own opinion it isn't near the difficulty beyond some communication.

well yeah now that I look back, coil wouldn't really be an accurate example, but it's still more difficult than that of the Chrysalis or the other primal trials, so the difficulty needed to be curbed some.

Well usually things get harder when its further along, so it makes sense to be harder than even Chrysalis wouldn't it? That said as of now its been nerfed so we'll see if people are still having the same problems with it or not.

Yeah, but I never heard near as much complaining about Chrysalis than I have SoD. Personally, I didn't find it all that difficult. Though at minimum ilvl, I can see how people can struggle since the dragon killer alone won't be enough to kill Vishap.

Its communication thats the main difference. Ultimately Chrysalis, while harder than the HM primals, is still something thats very easy to do without communication (outside the time bit with the meteor, but even then I think you only needed one or two really worrying about something other than attacking something for that part...its been a while >>).

Steps though requires a good bit of communication to do, two people need to be on cannons and snares, one for DK, no don't stand under his foot, no don't wait for a ressurection just respawn...and if you join an in progress one and are new it can be very chaotic in the middle of that fight (so far my only actual failure was had that happen to me.) And of course if you are ilvl 90 you really need to make sure to follow the parts that don't get you hurt by Vishap very carefully since many can one-shot you at that point.

Its a fight that becomes easier with practice is what I'm getting at. Like everything else, but more so in my opinion.

The patch notes are up. It mentioned that SoF has been adjusted to ease up on the difficulty.

The Steps of Faith has been adjusted as follows:
Vishap's maximum HP has been reduced.
The maximum HP of all enemies that spawn has been reduced.
Damage dealt by certain enemies has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Vishap's underfoot attack has been reduced.
Damage dealt by Bertha cannons upon exploding has been reduced.

Sad to see it getting nerfed.

But people should be able to clear it now.

They would have been able to clear it if they really saw the slightest bit of effort to gather a party and do the mechanics. But instead, they directed that effort to spam the forums with cries, and lo, behold, their struggles were not for vain. This day is yet another victory to dumb gameplay and facerolling everything.

Delighted to have completed it while it was still worthwhile!

Look on the bright side, the tears from the difficulty of Heavensward's stuff for the first month will be so great from these people that we can market their tears to make millions!

This fight needed no nerf.

What most dont understand about that fight is this unless you are one of the tanks holding hate do not do any AoE only single target attacks on Vishap.

The only mob add all dps should focus on is the Turtle Dragon due to his huge AoE attack.

Once the turtle Dragon is dead its business as usuall and the dps on cannons can disengage to use tethers when the time comes. the fight is pretty straight forward and had no need of a nerf.

I am saddened that gaming has come to pandering to those who won't attempt to work together due to their true lack of understanding or willingness to understand.

I wish one of the Dev's would just come on and tell those guys "Working as Intended" and leave difficult content difficult.
