I've seen this with up to 4 shield icons on me and still getting mage damage as the 5th hit. Seemed like she would roll for dealing damage until she actually hits all in 1 attack.

Also I noticed splash icons are missing while not the main target when she misses a mage hit on you. (Makes it frustrating to soul split flick)

And I personally would have liked to see the base only get melee damage. Or would it be feasable to let us reduce the stacks from her without switching tank?

I've noticed this also when i was basing. So basically she still does mage and melee hits on the base like its currently with the normal AoD. But when she does mage hits to the rest of the team, the base gets also the hit splats of those mage hits and show as splashes on the base. On the third phase after minions died, i saw my self getting 1 mage hit and 6 splashes. This same thing happened at the last phase when the last pillar died.

Hi Mod Ramen! I'm going to take a small break first. Have just gotten a new house irl. So my faince and I will have to focus on that first. After that I want to work for Trim cape. I'm 50/65 now. It's the one cape I've always said I wont be able to get. But I will do my best to prove myself wrong!. (Besides getting Trim I want to learn duo Solak) so hopefully I will master the boss you've created!

We have that Goblin near Draynor Village no?

/u/JagexRamen any plans to make a short miniquest for Victor and Wendy? Like, it could be a small fetch quest to make some Goblin armour for victor or something funny :p

@JagexRamen, This definitely is not fixed yet. Just did a kill that would have been my PR and it did not set it. FYI it would have been an 11:46 in case you feel like changing it (joking about this part btw).

Today we went again with a team to test it out, psycho and jaro were there again with me. Kinda found it interesting how the phases go tbh. With the current AoD whenever your dps is low, you get shadow bombs and after that elements again. But if you phase in time so the shadow bombs dont show up, nex does elements again if you fail to dps down 1.8m hp. We had an issue with her sort of brokenly repeating mechanics. Few times she did after shadow bombs that we got on 2.4m and then we failed to phase 2.1m, as result we got shadow boms again. When we struggled around with the reavers, we forgot to dps nex and she did elements after it. When she did elements, we took rapidly 300 demage from all the shadow bombs that were active in the instance. I dont know if that is supposed to be like that or not.

Hello Mod Ramen,

Going out on a limb here and giving my two cents on AOD because you seem to be combing over these posts and there is a good chance you will see this one.

I was there for the release, I got my first kill during a "mass" (roughly 10 people), and I later learned the mechanics for somewhat consistent kills within the first week of release.

I enjoyed learning how to tank the most. (This was the first time I was officially the "Main Tank" of the group, having little PVM experience in groups)

I am very proud to be talking with the creator of the boss, and I hope your beta goes great to make AOD as good as possible... so now onto my two cents.

Cons:

Defensive ability resets (or whatever you call them):

This is a huge issue for me. Why did we spend a half a decade introducing EoC with defensive abilities just to have them ripped away at any point in the fight? If I Resonance, I am expecting the next hit to heal me. ...

When basing I noticed that she gives me 0-4 shield icons on me and on top of that a mage hit, she never splashed once in all phases. It might be simply that she never splashes now but I feel like she also gave me higher melee hits..

I like that she forces melee distance in last phase.

I don't see the point in giving her more hitpoints when while phasing we don't attack her anyway as we are busy with reavers/amalgs/minions etc PLUS we do 1% damage during that time. Also it is annoying that she also attacks while phasing..

New ice mechanic seems nice.

Can you check P4 manifestation spawn rates, I legit cannot be the only one experiencing them spawning faster.

Edit: After some fair discussion someone mentioned the aura/scrim change possibly altered the 15k damage per spawn to slightly deviate, causing them to appear faster.

When are we getting miss hitmarks back though. It's making Solak a lot more annoying.

Why does the damage have to splinter from the base tank in the first place? Is there a technical reason for this or is it just the design/lore decision?

P2 random aggro fix? He sometimes just smacks you out of the blue.

It's time based. The guy who said it's based off HP done to Solak is wrong. I don't think that guy knows the boss in and out like you claim he does. Saying "oh look at his hp bar and see how many clones spawn. There are actually 2 or 3 (forgot how many due not doing the boss that much lately, pretty sure 2) rotations that the manifestations spawn in. The rate is/about the same the only difference is that sometimes 2 spawn at once others 1 spawns then 1 then another 1 spawns within game ticks of each other.

Also, Duo no realms are not that risky if you have mahjarrat. Too bad I don't have that, can't compete.
