PW go do that stupid imbalance skirmish yrself. Level 55? You kidding me? I dont believe even the devs can do it.
3 ****ing giants and lot of adds that TELEPORT to you. The dmg is so <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> that even a grp of 60s will have problem with it.
Did the game designers even test all the encounters in the skirmishes and dungeons himself to see if its doable or too hard? Or did you purposely overtuned the encounters just to FORCE ppl to buy the health stone and scrolls from the ZEN STORE??

At least some fun, nothing get's more boring than just bashing few buttons without the fear of dying.
The battle with the dragon and two healers is at least fun, and if your group is not completely stupid it's also fast
I am happy the game is at least somehow hard.. Everything is doable and I hope to finish those things before they nerf them down because of shouting mainstream lowbobs
not fun if you are a melee dps and need to avoid all that nasty ae damage from healers and the dragon^^
Why do I get a feeling that you've never done Battle for the Bridge skirm? It's NOT DOABLE
You're full of it...
And every second skirmish is "<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>-easy".. but then again - all other ones are on a whole different level of "where's-the-logic-in-this?".
Battle For The Bridge.....i feel like quitting this game
not impossible
pugged it on my second try. probably could've done it in first group if everyone didn't ragequit after 1 death at giants
Garrundar is hard, if you can't control/separate the Mystics. Unprepared parties will die. I did it like 4 times with my rogue yesterday. Only once we quit, because 2 GWFs couldn't separate the Mystics and were DPSing trash adds... Other 3 plays worked very smooth. So people seem to know what to do already.
Skirmishes should be fun and sure even challenging. BftB is just tedious and not fun. People only do it a single time just to cross it off their achievement list. If they are lucky that is. I wonder how many just say heck with it and move on. Abberant Assault is nearly as bad when it comes to not being fun. Most others are fine although Garrunder skirmish really needs to be fixed so that Mystics can't get stuck under the world even if they haven't been punted off the edge.
What's wrong with Aberrant Assault? It's not particularly hard, as long as everyone knows to ignore the last boss until his bodyguard has been chopped. And for the CWs and DCs to stay out of range of his super sucky smash power
Back to BftB. Oh man, that was a real eye opener the first few times I tried it. Yeh, that one was on my bucket list and finally got past it in a PUG when leveling an alt character. That one I will never forget.
Oh and the one with the Mystics, as long as your team kills the Mystics one by one as soon as they show, you will be fine.
Aberrant Assault is fine. I did it on my GF without a DC in the party and it wasn't particularly painful, although having two CW helped a lot.
I didn't state it was hard.. Just that it was not fun. Which it isn't. I really don't even think it fits the "skirmish" format that most of the others follow. I know I haven't bothered doing it in a couple months now.
Considering the wait times you get when you queue up for it, along with the fact that it's the only skirmish available at 60, just shows you how far the developers missed the mark on this one. People would rather just spend their time elsewhere.
Although maybe more people would do it if there was a daily for it. No idea why level 60s don't get a Daily Skirmish.
I have no recollection from the first two fights. Maybe died 4 times total during those. Something about a floating baddie and some adds.. honestly, cannot remember.. that's because of the anger that came from the final encounter. It's mind-erasing.
This was a first time for everyone (pug group). We ran in and all died within about 6 seconds.
The entire floor was red. Then adds everywhere, teleporting around. Being annoying and hard to kill. It was one of those "try to see the adds through all the bosses" moments (3 ginormous bosses stomping around everywhere). We realized that some of them were dying, but as a rogue, I can't see any life bar except the boss unless I pan the camera straight up and miss the red death all over the floor. So I picked one and stuck with it. We finally dropped the boss to 50% life and he managed to wipe us. This is where the fun began.
Since we were all out of the room, he regen'd all his HP and started new. This made my job suck. When everyone was running back (slowly because of injuries) I had to mount up and keep the boss entertained until the rest of the group showed up. I died a total of 22 times while spamming potions the entire time. Most of them were from the adds and trying to take them off the healer. This run cost a lot for me, but we made it. Killed him and nothing special dropped
So all in all, this can be done by low level character. But you need dedicated people, a decent strategy, and definitely some know-how. I really do think a CW would have made our life 1000x easier on the adds. Good luck if you try it.
Tip 1: this skirmish is much easier with one or more CW.
Tip 2: the CW(s) can kill the giants from a distance through the "door".
Tip 3: the boss is not immune to CC.
If any adds come through the door, the rest of the group can just burn them down.
Alternatively, if you have a pro healer, high dps and one good CW for the adds, you can just burn all the giants down in melee range. But this is not a typical pug.
