When will savage be cleared? Each individual turn.

Will it be similar to normal mode Alexander with just a few different mechanics and tighter DPS checks/heal checks/mitigation checks? Or will SE throw a curveball and screw us over with brand new mechanics that will take weeks to fully understand, maybe even brand new enemies?

PLACE YOUR BETS!!!!!

It might be a mix of both but if i had to pick 1, id go with brand new so and so cuz honestly SE is screwed if they disappoint the " hardcore raid " community.
Casuals etc already got their story version so se has to really deliver or there will be a lot of unhappy ppl lol.

Well if they designed Alex EM the same way the did SCoB, then Alex savage will be the unnerfed version of the fights.
I imagine there will some added effects to mechanics, some instant kills, and some brand new mechanics.

I think a interesting mechanic for A1 would be if one of the boss's particle beam aoe hits the other boss, it will buff that boss.

I think they will have the same mechanics on drugs, with a few new ones thrown in.

For example: There will be four beams in A1, each needing an add to die under them.

And they all fall at different rates!

I feel like all the alex fights will be a lot different... different mechanics in a1, bombs are almost auto death, cars more involved, more (stronger)/different mobs in a2, different phases in a3, a4 can have a ton of changes.

That being said, I give it 3-4 days before everything is cleared. a1/a2 should be beaten tomorrow, a3 might take a day or 2, a4 also a day or 2. I'm fairly confident the top groups will just rip through whatever dps checks there are. I've seen some of the parses around and healers doing 850-900+ dps? That's just going to blow any of the dps checks away.

800-900 lol I do 1k+ with crit inching close to 3k and no I don't have maxed ilv I only at 176 let's just say I put my points in the right places

Dps means total damage per second throughout a whole fight, not damage dealt in one spell.

I expect A2 to be really crazy - the gobwalkers have a bunch of skills that just aren't needed in Normal, so I'm curious if they end up being required in Savage.

I bet there will be a flame thread about Alex Savage within a week, of people complaining it's too hard, people in bleeding edge statics telling them to git gud, and 20+ pages of snubbing from both sides.
