I don't recall anything in the patch notes about changing the last boss completely.
The pit in the middle is filled, so you can't knock things down it.
There seems to be invisible walls, so you can't knock things down it.
The amount of blademasters that spawn are now around 4 a wave.
The blademasters are now doing obscene amount of damage, or is it the fact that FOUR OF THEM ARE SPAWNING NOW.
I really don't see how someone can do this boss without 2 clerics+tank or some other CC heavy compositions, seeing as the blade masters hit for so hard now.
Dev?

I do recall patch notes containing details about fixing an exploit dealing with the boss, but not changing the boss.
I'm quite aware of those patch notes, but there are no mention of changing her.
Last I checked, when you did her legitimately, blade masters would spawn 1-2 at a time, and hit for less.
That is not the case now.
I don't see how you can prevent that now.
Other thing worst than intentional exploiters is the ones that thought that's how the game should have been hehe
Overbuff much?
whatever will we dooooooooooooo?
Last time I did the fight it was myself (DC healing) 1 Rogue and 3 CW. Yes we killed her legit, although maby it was'ent legit since the CW and I knocked every add into that pit. If thats not intended at all, either lower the Health / Dmg on the adds or slow thier roll !! They spawn too fast for the health / Dmg they do if we cant remove them. Your basically telling people that 2 DC and ignore adds is the way to go. Personally I find 2 DC groups boring, would much rather see the tuning on this fight re-visited.
I agree. I don't want to be forced into a composition due to the nature of the boss. Variety is the spice of life.
Walls are there now.
Unless there's a sweet spot where you can.
was just translating your original post into the common tongue.
quit whining.
If you had even an average IQ, you would understand that my post is nothing like that.
Invisible wall are all around the room now. (maybe it will be added to all dungeon next ? )
The boss, as is, REQUIRES 2 healers and 3 dps, to just try to dps the boss down as fast as possible.
No tank. You won't have the DPS for her, and you won't have the healers.
In my eyes, an encounter is unbalanced if 1/5 classes are unable to do a boss.
Cause with 2 rogue full time on boss, she will heal more than the damage you will do.
Except I did it with that set up.
We were, at least in my eyes, all decent players.
Couldn't do it. If the GF is on the boss, we all die from the blade masters (as they now spawn as four). If hes on the adds, we still die since they randomly charge targets, and almost one shot them.
That is even sadder.
@mistriosu: These adds have A LOT of health points. They also do A LOT of damage. 1 gwf +cw wont kill the adds quick enough. They simply put out so much damage, that you aren't able to do it without double cleric. Also as thotor said, 3 rogues.
2/5 classes are needed for this boss, apparently.
Rather than code a leash on the boss that would only allow her to move in a given area of the arena (Ie not somewhere that she could fall off) they just threw up walls and filled in the pit.
I can only hope that this is a band-aid fix while they either re-tune the adds, or fix the bosses pathing before removing these new barriers. If thats the case I just wish they would communicate that to us. The frequency of add spawns, thier health and damage output, her self healing all combine to make the fight, IMO, over tuned. Changing any single part, or fixing her pathing and re-allowing the punt-to-win method is needed. Punt-to-win is not ideal, but at least its not limited to 1 class. Double AS is.
Have I mentioned her adds are absurd? They were doing 16-18k hits and she summons 4 of them... often. Yea, I'm afraid this reeks of a lack of play testing, she needs to be toned way way back.
I can't agree more
Problem with that is GWF doesn't kill adds well, so
Edit: RE: Testing
We all know none of that happens, lol.
Not saying it cant be done, just that its over tuned. I'm sure you did'ent look at the gear of your 4 pug mates. Get in a pug with 10K+ geared folks and yes it'll seem ok. I would ask you to queue for that dungeon in a full party of ~8200 geared folks and try again. You know the gear level required for the dungeon. I'm guessing you'd have a very different opinion about now.
I love when people make posts like this, "Yea I just did <insert random boss name here> with a group made up of some wet cardboard and a coma patient it was super easy, just used our awesome deeps to burn her her down. /Sniff nothing to it, not sure what all your problems are"
Except for the fact that you've glossed over the major crux of the boss (the adds) and how the hell you handled it when they spawned. I for one would like to know given that they hit extremely hard, have a good amount of HP and pop up pretty often.
