Cataclysm weapons: SEVEN WEEKS!?

[BluexBird]

If you were seeing any of hades phases enrage after maybe week one your group's dps was just hilariously bad. None of his checks were particularly tight, and once you got his mechanics down, they were also a joke. None of his mechanics were even particularly new either. Attacking the right aspected adds, getting hit with the appropriate elemental attacks, doom, reverse-doom, knockbacks, stacks, and exaflares? All seen in previous fights, whether they were extremes, savages, or even normal modes.

Haha it was even worse! I started playing again 3 weeks before the last patch came out. And it was still a huge struggle to get my weapon. I think I had an easier time farming Titan than I did Hades, even though I had to do it 8 times because the game hates me. If you say the DPS check wasn't so bad, then I'm honestly confused with how none of the farm parties I joined couldn't kill it until just before the enrage cast ended.

Also, it doesn't matter if the mechanics become easy once you practice. When you're up joining parties in PF, you never know the type of players you're gonna get. Mistakes happen, and they're extra frustrating considering you have to redo the whole fight.

It could be worse, the only way to get better weapons could be 100% RNG with a .005% drop rate on several day respawn mobs. Like the good old days.

7 weeks is nothing.

It could be worse,

Things could always be worse. It doesn't mean what's there is great, or that it can't be improved upon.

it takes 3 weeks to get enough tomes to buy the weapon to start with. Most people buy tome pieces early on, meaning it will take them even longer anyway. You can get them from raiding week one, and it still takes 3 weeks to buy because of tomes. There is nothing wrong with having a delay on the weapon, especially when ruby ex exists and has no lockout. Its only 5 ilvls behind.

Its supposed to be something you work towards. Its a deliberate system to keep you subscribed.

Besides, it's the strongest weapon you can get right now aside from the Eden weapon, so it's natural that they'd draw out the process of getting it.

Waiting for the weekly reset to run E8 again isn't work.

Neither is ruby ex. That fight practically gives weapons away.

An opinion that can only come from someone who has never pugged an EX.

Ive pugged ruby ex. Fight is easy, just use your eyes and most mechanics sort themselves out if you can run out of bad

lol "I have garbage luck with parties, so clearly you've never pugged before" is always my favorite argument.
