Tiamat Defend the Clerics

fns2005

Not sure if this week's maintenance has anything to do with it, as this is the 1st time running Tiamat since combat rework. The 1st phase of Defend the Clerics is completely skipped and you go straight to fighting the dragon heads. If they're not all killed the first round, the Defend the Clerics phase is twice as long then normal. Not sure if this was intentionally lumped together.

Also during Defend the Clerics, when Tiamat fires a red circle AOE another smaller circle appears following me around. It doesn't seem to do damage, maybe just a visual bug? I'm a paladin tank running the stalwart golden lion if that has anything to do with it. This has happened twice this week, not sure if anyone else has experienced this.

It’s the same on Ps4.
Have no idea what the tiny red circles are but they followed my Cleric.

Devs posted on another thread about the red AOE - they say it's a bug and they are working on it. They didn't say anything about the clerics.

From the PC patch:

Rise of Tiamat

Enemies once again properly spawn during the “Defend the Clerics” phase of this trial.


If it's, indeed, fixed, you can expect as much in the future.

I ran it last night and we did not get the heads first time around-- almost, but not quite. Watched clerics (both) get almost to full and then-- BAM! They went to no health at all. After about 3 BAMs everyone started leaving. What a disaster.

So then I did a random skirmish. Pulled Throne of the Dwarven Gods. Not sure how many times each of us died. One person just left and never left the group and then a second person left and I called for reinforcements. After about 30 minutes, we finally did finish. Do not even want to think about how many scrolls, potions, watermelon, etc. I used. This skirmish is seriously flawed now. I have run it several times (on random) since the combat update. Always the same-- when I look at the sidebar and see 3 out of 5 people dying, that is bad. And the rewards are not all that great plus some people running it do not even have a key for the chest. So, risk has been greatly increased and rewards have not. That sounds, well, wrong.

Throne of the Dwarven Gods, yeah I had that last night on my rogue - wow they've sped up those tall enemies (The ones that smack the clerics - can't remember their name) they sprint faster than a barbarian to the clerics and the amount of mobs has been noticeably increased, with less gaps between group spawns. It was fun though (in a somewhat insane way).
