Increase Fire Elemental Health

[Rose.2593]

You have like a 10 - 15 minute pre event, then a boss that dies in like 20 seconds? 

 

Please make it more interesting or last longer with more health or defiance bar or something. 

[Ardenwolfe.8590]

No, thank you.

[Rhapsedy.1569]

You do realize that the Fire Elemental is a beginner level boss? Its for the guys in the beginning zone to learn how to kill. You want a challenge, go kill Tequatl. Or how about Triple Trouble? No one ever kills them. The Claw of Jormag. The Shatterer.

 

There are different level of world bosses. Because they are in different level zones. 

 

How fair would it be to put a high level world boss in a beginning zone?

To the OP, why?

 

I think it could scale a bit better for larger groups but, it doesn’t have to. Svanir Shaman is similar this week, bunch of pre-events and then it dies in 30 seconds. Jungle worm is the same and Shadow B is 2 burns to kill. 
 

As pointed these are starter area world bosses. During a normal week, not boss rush, they don’t die as fast, and are designed for newer players.

It should at least match the shadow behemoth in mechanics and health, but you're going to catch some flak for wanting to make things interesting.

Fire elemental is a starting area encounter.  Therefore, it should not be overly dangerous for characters <= lvl 15.

[Balsa.3951]

More interesting always welcome, just more health to last longer .... no and no 

[fatihso.7258]

FE health is a joke with current power creep, 15min afking before it spawns and takes 10 sec to die, if you blinked for a sec or two, you miss the boss.

Not a single aspect of the game's cyclic timer system is beginner friendly. I bet less than 0.01% of new player even see it, let alone have time to or are able to take part.

 

WBs are for trains: groups following the timers available online. 

 

The reason it dies in under 20secs is because it's another abandoned aspect of the game. The so-called "power creep", mixed with awful scaling, makes it a dumb event.

You say that but we have Shadow Behemoth out in Queensdale.

 

Wyrm and Fire Ele both die way to fast and honestly could be made more like Shadow Behemoth.

Were you around 5+ years ago when they buffed the Fire Elemental with multiple fire fields, killing most everyone quickly?   That wasn't fun. 

I suggest shortening the pre-event as the solution.   There's no reason why CLEAN 5000 needs so long to do its event.   Sometimes it can take over 15 minutes and we're late for the next world boss. 

[Strider Pj.2193]

Someone got to the event a little late or was afk..

[Zangster.3174]

The 10 second main event would be a lot more tolerable without the 5 minute nap while the Roomba 5000 spins in a circle.  

 

Just shortening that 5 min event to 2 or 3 minutes would do a LOT to help this massive borefest.

[Kaltyn of Torbins Deep.294]

If fire ele is burnt down in 20 seconds, a 50% increase in health means that it takes 30 seconds.  That's still shorter than Jungle Wurm and Shadow Behemoth.  I don't have a problem with that.  As a couple of people have mentioned, the pre-event DOES need to be shortened.

The common idiom "when pigs fly" dates to the 17th century, while the phrase "when hell freezes over" originated in the 19th. Now gaming has given us a new to express the same concept: "when the servers shut down".
