Raid Finder and a General Problem I Needed to Get Off my Chest

[KarstenS]

1. It shouldn't be like that in the first place where new extreme fights are limited to gathered parties in party finder, because we all know it takes several tries to get a fight down and duty finder is a quick up-and-go way to run things to get the hang of it.

Echo doesn't mean anything and it still doesn't.

Echo and gear makes them alot easier in the same way as unsync makes the lvl 50 content easier. The difference is huge. Even just with more gear.

They only nerfed it because high-end players are the ones they take that content for

They nerfed it because some classes were mandatory to handle mechanics. They nerfed it that it can be doable with partys that are missing classes completely.

Lets take a look:

Alexander - The Cuff of the Son (Savage) and Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage)
Blaster's Mind Blast attack will no longer inflict players with the Damage Down and Confused status effects.

Silence is not mandatory anylonger to beat them.

Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)
Players will no longer be silenced when placed in a jail.
The potency of the physical vulnerability down effect inflicted by engine oil has been reduced.

One jail was for caster classes only. Another one for physical classes only. Now every kind of class can do both DD jails.

All these nerfs are just to handle the matching of the duty finder.

The nerfs some patches later in A8S were to make it more accessible for groups without Scholar.
