Savage is too easy

[Niyuka]

The problem isnt so much that the raids are too easy (they have been for a while, but that is largely due to the playerbase regressing in skill and no content aside from Savage actually putting up any resistance, leading to this), its that so many mechanics exist in the game - and are not used. Slow, Interrupt, Stun, Blind, various debuffs and buffs, none of these truly matter (aside from knockback, which I must point out is used to solid effect).

Also, the constant group-heal spam could really need some changing - make healers focus on different number of targets and sorts of heals. Make tanks actually need cooldowns for more than just the super-telegraphed tankbuster. Make DPS have mini checks that dont just require cycling their rotations - make them save up their burst window for a special moment.

I like a lot of the mechanics from hte 24 raids better than much of the Savage stuff. There is genuinely cool stuff in there! Use it, dont just alternate pattern AOEs and debuff puzzles.

Knockback is acutally the other extreme. While many role actions don't get any use, knockback is an overused mechanic. You have it constantly in E2, E3 and E4. At least Interrupt is needed in E1 instead.

If anything, Alex ultimate is too easy. Alex can mess with time, so really, he should just go back in time and prevent any character who unlocks his fight from ever being created in the first place. You can't beat him if you don't exist. Or at the very least, your character instantly dies the moment you enter the fight since Alex kills you before the fight begins. When will an enemy actually use their full power for once?

Can't do. Alexander Ultimate (and Savage) is an exaggerated song, told/sung by a Minstrel and it wouldn't make a very good story this way.
