Thread: Patch 3.26 Discussion

Dunno why everyone is so upset or surprised with this nerfs, even tho we could have seen it coming since in one live letter(i think it was) he said that he feels like a6s is too much harder than a7s.
Yeah i agree the fight was easy once you get the drill of it but hey not everyone is at the same level, also i dont mind nerfs like this, i would have disliked if they put echo that is the nerf that i dont like xD
Cheers

That's considered casual? Jeeze, I'm glad i dont raid seriously. The statics I used to sub for did maybe 4-6 a week.

I would rather have Echo, you can turn it off so the fight gets preserved in it's original form.

I'm kind of glad for the A6S nerfs tbh. I could see it turning a lot of people off simply due to the fact of having to clear every set each time you progress on a new mechanic for each Boss. (Since failing the mechanic is typically a wipe)

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

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.

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.

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.

Ah, I didn't see that. Is the fluid aura - repose combo such a bad thing? I thought it was a useful tactic?

It is, but since no other healing class could do something similar, they decided to nerf it for WHM.

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.
