Parkour section in Advanced and Master The Dread Section
On the 5th December 2024 patch there were changes made to the parkour section in the second boss of the dread sanctum noticeably these:
1. Removed one fall recovery path for Master Mode parkour.
2. Increased slow and tick damage for Acidic Brine in parkour section.
3. Removed some geo that allowed players to leapfrog to recovery path in Master/Advanced Mode parkour section.
Before the patch there were 2 viable routes to get to the end of the path and reach the portal to begin the next dps phase, one a short path to the left through acidic brine which was made just about possible by a safe zone brick geography 80% of the way across and a longer path that avoids the brine but has lots of explosive bombs that blow you off into the brine.
The short path is no longer viable for any dps I have met after the patch change described as " Increased slow and tick damage for Acidic Brine" and "geo removal" but before the patch it was just about usable with the recovery brick in place and the lower brine damage. So assuming the intention of the change was to make the short route totally inviable then this post-patch behaviour is a bug that needs to be addressed. Either that or remove the short route completely from master and advanced
If you take the longer route in advanced above the brine and you get blown off you are dead in seconds 95% of the time, on some rare occasions you may reach some safe geography, die and revive yourself but the acidic brine keeps ticking even after you revive, this I believe to be another bug. This seems harsh for advanced TDS and stops a lot of people completing AdvTDS.
Regarding the brine damage in general I would expect a gradated level of brine tick damage going from low in normal dungeon to medium, in advanced and large in master I don't think the size of the brine damage is appropriate for advanced.
I have to wonder who tested these changes which are significant and really came out of the blue
