E7S had potential to be a difficult fight, what with the portals and colours and such... but then it was a missed opportunity and is actually a pretty easy fight (so long as someone calls out the portals correctly).
E8S I just hate, but then I'm a melee DPS and frequently get unlucky with Light Rampant and Fake-Holy + Spiteful Dance (Shiva and Holy's on the edge and Spiteful Dance is out and then in). Really doesn't help my group doesn't do melee uptime strats, either (I'm the only melee, sans tanks). I dunno. I'd probably like E8S more if I wasn't a melee DPS .-.

Oh and the cutscene. SE stop with the cutscenes in Savage.
