I think my qualms with it is that Proto Ultima, while yes a weaker version of Ultima, shouldn't be as squishy, easily pushed past and forgettable. The Succubus it replaced dealt more damage, had more HP and was overall more enjoyable [And that's saying something, I didn't want to fight Halicarnassus again >_>]. It's also extremely out of place in Dun Scaith, a predominantly Void-themed area, and the justification they /attempt/ to do was half a sentence. The whole thing was half-assed and felt clunky, pretty sure just as a means of giving players another way to get geared, sure, but is this the best they could do?
