Can I get an amen Except I was not complaining about the difficulty of this fight AT ALL. This is so incredibly aggravating that I just pointed out you shouldn't just gloat about your skill when your "feats" are not even impressive. People just completely do not understand what my critique was in the first place then just go on about how easy the content is. But I guess being frustrated by conflating what I said with completely unrelated arguments is perfectly good justification for just assuming 9000 things about a player and crapping all over them for things that don't even apply to their argument.

That resurrection though.... XD Well, this is an old thread, but I'll answer anyway. Calling something "literally impossible" is basically little more than sensationalism. I understand some people might find this encounter difficult and may not grasp the mechanics of the battle right away, but you do yourself no favors by writing something off as 'impossible', even if just for certain builds, simply because you failed to complete it on your first attempts. All you're doing is giving yourself an excuse to give up and blame the game for your shortcomings, rather than trying to problem solve and overcome a challenge yourself. Ironically enough, despite mentioning how players can be condescending towards others, I don't think you realize how condescending or self defeating players can be towards themselves when they underestimate their own capacity to overcome a challenge. I can pretty much guarantee that if I used a Sword/Dagger weaver, I'd be able to do the battle quite easily. This isn't because I'm a superior player though, rather it's just because once you figure out the mechanics of the battle, if actually becomes very simple. I'll post my earlier post in this thread below, where I actually gave feedback on how to approach the fight: As a final note, I will agree that some players can be very short or blunt with their feedback, and it can be frustrating, but maybe they are also just frustrated because people always complain at every little hurdle they face, and undue complaints often lead to the unnecessary toning down of content. I called it literally impossible as hyperbole. And really? " All you're doing is giving yourself an excuse to give up and blame the game for your shortcomings, rather than trying to problem solve and overcome a challenge yourself." ? What kind of toxicity is this? I downed this boss on my second try, > @Tenrai Senshi.2017 said: That resurrection though.... XD Well, this is an old thread, but I'll answer anyway.

Okay, I don't see how my response was flagged and removed but somehow all this conjecture and insulting is somehow totally fine. I downed this boss on my second try and was saying "literally impossible" as hyperbole. This boss is difficult with certain builds. "All you're doing is giving yourself an excuse to give up and blame the game for your shortcomings, rather than trying to problem solve and overcome a challenge yourself" in response to saying not to disparage new players is incredibly toxic but totally fine according to the moderators. I've played this game for 13 years and finished multiple raid bosses with no problems with the mechanics, but sure, pointing out the fact that certain builds are not good in certain encounters is just "blaming the game for my shortcoming". "Ironically enough, despite mentioning how players can be condescending towards others, I don't think you realize how condescending or self-defeating players can be towards themselves when they underestimate their own capacity to overcome a challenge." First of all, that's not the correct usage of ironically. Even then, what are you even trying to say with this? What does "I don't think you realize how condescending or self-defeating players can be towards themselves " even mean? Yeah, I'll somehow grasp that esoteric concept, but does that somehow excuse treating other players badly? I finished this fight in 10 minutes and just had to switch builds, but your whole response is just the most condescending thing i've ever read. Thank you for proving my original point that these forums are toxic by being incredibly toxic.

Considering that the thread was going on three months since the last post before yours, and longer still since some of the posts you describe, I am not sure of the relevance of this commentary. The length of time since a previous post does not affect the relevance of the commentary on it. If they were arrogant 3 months ago, they were will arrogant, and the comments will still be arrogant 3 months in the future. Of course the passage of time, and change that usually accompanies that passage, affects relevance. The, supposed, arrogance becomes less relevant to the current state of affairs and so commentary on that arrogance is similarly less relevant.Relevant as opposed to what in particular? Relevancy requires two items to compare. It is less relevant when specifically talking about it's relation to the current state of affairs, which you had not previously mentioned. Relevancy in terms of being an accurate depiction of their characters is not affected by the passage of time. Ignoring accuracy of a statement through the semantic rhetoric of time-relevance shows is pointless and a non-argument.

Okay... just as a side note to this thread, some people here are really condescending to others. This is an extremely difficult fight depending on build. When I was Sw/D weaver it was literally impossible. If a player doesn't know they can switch weapons by right clicking their weapon in their hero menu, they wouldn't be able to do literally anything. As soon as I switched to staff it was super easy, but without access to inventory, some players might not know how to switch. I guarantee you if you did not have the proper build to fight this it would be quite literally impossible. Some people can beat this while practically afk, others require a feat of Olympian strength. No one is impressed how easily you beat this. "Learn to play" without any other input isn't helpful to anyone and really is not welcome.
