Alexander (Savage) predictions

[saber_alter]

A1: faust, and his adds will hit harder, preventing the team from ignoring adds.
Oppressor's proximity damage buff will be permanant, and they will hit harder. new mechanics added (?). spider adds will require less debuff stacks to get the effect, 3k tonze missile will wipe if it lands, and have a tighter dps check.
A2: everything hits harder. Jagd dolls buff eachother. spider tanks might have mechanics like dreads from turn 4.
A3: edge probably will guarantee your death if you land in it, human form will probably always require a tank swap. all mechanics less forgiving. vortex form adds might act like ifrit ex nails.
A4: i don't even want to think about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if perpetual ray is almost a 1-shot unstunned.

I do not envy the people that will be doing A4 savage.

[Arrak]

I don't think A2 will have more waves. But with damage and health increases, we'll most likely need strategic vuln buffs and both gobwalkers snaring and stunning them.
In A3, I think in tornado phase the pool in the center will be larger and deadlier, making it more difficult to pick up the tether.

A1 Phase 1
Tethers added between you and another player, when you go further than 10 yalms apart you die
Divebombs
Tethers added between you and another player + another pair, if you go close to the other pair you die, if you go far away from your pair you die
Divebombs
Twisters show up circling the lasers that you need to lure mobs in to, if you step in twister you die
Divebombs

Phase 2..


Please look forward to it.

I would put money on the hand slaps in A3 not being able to be split between the team, just so SE can have a good laugh every time a group gets to that phase for the 1st time and the tanks wipe the party by facing the hands mid

[Elvin]

Last turn always have divebombs. So, divebombs for A4.

[LazyC]

100$ says A1 is going to have the platforms tilt when the oppressors land together, just like leviathan and you have to position yourself to not get hit by the mini causing AOEs as you slide around

[Windklinge]

dont forget this :

A4 divebombs added.
A4 : touching the outer edge of the area will instakill you.
A4 : 4 players are taken into quarantine (1 tank 1 healer and 2 dps) and instead of a single doll youll face 2 dreadnaugths. other 4 players outside have to handle same amount of orbs as before but each orb places a stack on you.
more divebombs.
boss will randomly do his super aoe phase change move.
even more divebombs
a single meteor will appear over a players head and wipe the raid if it falls onto the boss or a orb or any player. just because reasons.
final set of divebombs.
boss now has 4 legs and uses ATAT sounds from star wars instead. to beat it groups needs to find the hidden snowspeeder on p5 while dodgeing divebombs and then fly around the boss 4 times to cable him to make him fall over.

A2 is one where you can clearly see how Savage can work.

- Some mobs have a "Charge" buff. Completely irrelevant in normal, probably not in Savage
- Fire resistance debuff is a joke in normal, not so in Savage
- Hardhelm and Hardmind constantly spam an AoE that buffs themselves and nearby mobs with defense buffs. Irrelevant in normal, in Savage, these two probably need to be kept away from other mobs.
- You actually need to use the recharge, the tank attacks are far more relevant

A1- after bosses fly up they do divebombs
A2- all the adds to divebombs
A3- LL morphs into twin and does divebombs
A4- divebombs 24/7 while shooting perpetual ray
It isn't a raid without 1 turn having divebombs
