For casual raiders, that should open up needed upgrades to make progression a bit easier.

But when you think about it, thats what you do with every boss fight, you have to make it through the old mechanics to practice the new ones. Outside of running to the next phase it's no different when you think about it.

Lmfao so they nerf A6S which my group was progressing fine in....BUT WHERE WERE THE A3S NERFS WHEN THAT SHIT WAS A STATIC BREAKER!!!!!

I'm legit mad right now.

As a static leader where my static runs about 3 nights a week at 3 hours a night, this will help cut down on frustration massively. Seriously, like I understand why some people find this upsetting because they had to beat it before these changes, but wiping to blaster's first phase despite progressing in swindler can be the biggest waste of raid time imaginable and it wasn't even that uncommon. Like, this just makes getting practice in later fights less stressful for people who have limited time to run.

Well, SE didn't want to take any chances given what happened with Gordias. Last time they figured leaving it alone and hoping that providing higher ilvl gear (Thordan and Diadem) would make the difference, but by then the damage was already done with statics breaking up and players server transferring. With that said, I feel less (or more subtle) changes were needed here over what they went with. Leave Swindler and Vortexer alone, whilst making Blaster and Brawler relatively easy with minor changes.

Their mistake was thinking that giving out 205/210 gear would get more people through A3S. The difficulty of that fight had very little to do with dps checks.

this just help move forward.

My group and I raid for about 9 hours a week..7 1/2 if you take off breaks...6 if you take off time waiting for people to show up yet we will be done with a7s tonight. Quality over quantity!

Really didnt expect them to go and nerf it honestly. They let Gordias kill teams but no they go and nerf this so quickly and to be completely honest raiders should have i230 weapon by now with a overall ilvl of 225-230 or more so i cant really see these nerfs being viable ornecessary. Meanwhile teams spent 3 months clearing a3s.
