Khalisto.5780 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It seems to be the formula for boss fights in LS. It's kinda cool the first time, but kinda annoying after you play it 3 times. Caudecus, the big golem in the charr village and then commander Lonai. I think it's time to bring something new, something you can actually do by use your dodges and heals to max efficiency without dying like 10 times. Something that if you misplay you get killed, but not to easy to face tank and get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I hope you're ready for all of the GITGUD posts soon to show here.I agree with you in principle; these story fights should not be at the scale that they are. There are those who have advocated this position and many other who decry it and want these instances to be harder.Just can't please everyone.

Oh lol, I bet the pros will show up.I could tweak my build for this solo instances, but I just run one with high mobility and dps, to hit things in open world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warscythes.9307 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Dodge is actually not just a dodge, it is an invincibility frame. You can dodge in the aoe and not get hit. You don't have to actually get out of the aoe as long as you can dodge the hit so the space really shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because you can't be bothered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I felt they were overly difficult, but instead a real "here we go again" feeling that I felt LS 4.2 was really bad for.I do however, feel that they absolutely nailed the Joko encounter in LS4.4 to step away from this and offer much more compelling mechanics to the fight. It's my favorite in a while just because it is not just a bunch of AoEs to dodge, block, evade, soak up.Now if we could just ask them to step away from Special Action Key mechanics a little, I would be really happy....those are overused as well.

Khisanth.2948 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Meh their alternative would just be carpet bombing with multiple AoEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer not to be attacked ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
