Thread: Patch 3.26 Discussion

It's funny with all the people that essentially argue that A6S should have been left untouched because A3S was never touched (during the last raid cycle). That's like asking SE to not learn from mistakes.
It's also funny to see all the hardcore raiders pretend they're casual and looking down on people that didn't clear yet.
Not to mention all the arguments about "many groups almost had it down"... You can say that pretty much any time in the raid cycle...
I personally approve of the changes. It brings A6S difficulty to a level where it was supposed to be in the first place.

My group started A7S last week, we're already pretty close to a clear now. Considering how long A6S took us, there is definitely a sort of imbalance in the difficulty level. I think the only thing that needed modifying were the Vortexer's lightning and water debuffs. Then again, from what I've heard it's the divebombs that were giving a lot of other groups issues.

I can see why they nerfed it. They don't want a server migration repeat. And they are gun shy from the last one. They aught to find a way to fix it. But I guess stemming the flow is what they settled on.

Raid group I am in downed the fight tonight (we were working on Vortexer before nerfs), it is still difficult, people need to be aware of mechanics but it is more forgiving on time and damage, I honestly feel the fight is right where it needs to be now and what it should have been at the start. Little mistakes will cost you greatly, but 1 or 2 deaths now are not a guaranteed wipe on time when you are at the final boss.

People still seem to think that it's been nerfed down to "pass it in one attempt with all newbies"-level though...

Was into A6S today and Blaster is a bit easier to get through. We got more practice on Brawler. Reached Swindler once.
Still plenty of learning and practice to go before we have it down.
As WHM I definitely appreciate the changes to Blaster and it made for a much more enjoyable experience than before.

It took us one week for a5s, a6s, and 2 weeks for a7s lol :/ a6s wasn't even hard which is why I dont understand the dilemma

Love how everyone is complaining that the nerfs is making things too easy. Look at Gordias. If they make content too difficult, people complain and quit.
Easy content, difficult content. SE just can't win can they?
