Goddamn
Spent so much time in IT class playing 8 ball pool...
nothing too big to read into, just a minor change to something that we'll talk about next week
The fact they made prayer-swapping a part of the fight after how much we explained why we hate it, and how naff of a mechanic it is after Raksha actually irritates me.
I am genuinely somewhat un-hyped for the release just knowing that prayer-flicking is going to be part of this. Not because I "can't" do it (I have the Raksha log completed). Not because I need to learn how to prayer-flick.
But because prayer-flicking is a Pre-EoC mechanic that feels like crap in modern EoC and should have been removed except as a sole mechanic (like Jad) in small bursts in some bosses.
If the "prayer flicking" were a "phase" where it forces you to prayer-swap for say 5 attacks while no other mechanics happen, then sure, I can accept that. But constant, Raksha-style prayer-flicking legitimately makes me feel like the collection log will be a grinding slog rather than something I'll enjoy.
Which is a shame, because the idea of a tutorial boss is really good.
It's just a phase (mom).
Prayer flicking is for only a small portion of this encounter :)
Fair concerns, which I tried to address in the stream, but I know I can't assuage everyone.
Here's some hard data:
Lifepoints:
Base 65000 + (mechanics*35000) + (mechanics*mechanics*5000), therefore:
Player damage dealt to the boss will also be reduced to:
