Boon change nerfed some raids boss and broke some mechanics (Retaliation and Resistance change)

[WindBlade.8749]

We are not here to discuss about the retaliation change, but to speak about how they forget to update the raids using it as a mechanics.

Quadim1 have guardians which give to the boss a unique boon, there is three, protection, retaliation and stabs.
When you kill one, the boss don't receive the guardian boon anymore.
Stab guardian was already skipped by some groups since you could take a spb to remove it when you need to cc the boss.
It's was still fine, you needed a special comp and you still need to do 2.
But with this change the guardian give soft cc resistance instead of retaliation.
Now the split mecanics is broken as resolution is usless on quadim the entire squad can just go to the protection guardian together.

It's also nerfed condi class for the boss.

Quadim2 used to get retaliation in the last phase that ask boonstrip, which now is way easier.

The broken king used to be immune to condi for 1/3 of the fight, which is not the case anymore since Resistance now only make the boss immune to soft cc, which is usless for this boss as it's don't even have a cc bar.

Adina is a strange case since her boon got change but her reta is harcodded until the resolution boon is strip.
Gorseval is not even a boon.

 

They need to update the raids with a unique buff for the boss that bring reta and resistance back for them.

Literally unplayable.

This is the biggest PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT if there is one. How out of touch are the teams if they forgot to crosscheck the new boon with raid bosses?!

 

Oh and the purple CC update (which is in the notes) is still not in game. So thats fun.

Is it that bad to change  Retal+ Protection+ Stab 

into  Stab + -33% Condi & power damage for quadim 1?

well, quadim was mostly a power boss.
So protection you need to do it, condi you can ignore it (before it's was reta you couldn't)
And stab you can ignore it.
So yea it's kinda broke the split meca.

Sure it's not make unplayable raids but like i say there is an easy fix for it.

It's actually the opposite. If they go so far as to decide that some mechanic is so bad that boons utilizing it need to be removed/changed, that mechanic should also be removed/changed in all other places it appears as well.
