Also I really enjoy A6S, although I doubt I will need to leave Cleric Stance now -_-

Really this should have been a simple nerf, either loose a mine or nerf the Mirages as they were pure rng and probably what caused the most problems in progression.

Yeah, my static's just started on Swindler but there's times when Blaster just gives us the old middle finger.

The pure RNG in that fight is about as stupid as pre-nerf T7.

You're not even wrong. Like, as of today, we've seen as far as the enumeration after snipers, but I didn't necessarily think we'd ever have a problem killing those in time if there were no errors with height. I'm kinda confused why that change was needed. The beta thing definitely seemed unnecessary as well. It was pretty easy to mitigate and only ever really caused issues with tank healing, never party healing.

It would be ironic for all those complaining about the nerfs while not having the kill to still go into A6S this reset an still wipe on it

Meanwhile, I'm just over here happy that my spells will actually land with my WHM in Expert Roulette now. >.>

I'll just enjoy more chances for CT music sheets and let everyone else care about raiding. Maybe care a little about PvP but I've never been one to do a lot of it.

Shhhh I know that but most people don't realize it. They only see 4 separate bosses of which they keep wiping on the same 2-3. For some reason it causes people to burn out quicker.

Taking Ratfinx as an example... It has several phases, but the transitions between them are smooth.
A6S, each "phase" is very different from the previous. There is no smooth transition from one to another.

It's very easy to burn out when the transition between "phases" are jerky like with A6S.
T9 had the same problem imo... the transition between meteor phases and heavensfall and later was not smooth.

But that fight is so epic thou....
