SOT boss harder now??

My Seeker got 10,2k Hp,15k P.Def,50 Def Levels,27 Warding Levels,but apparently PWC decided to not give a damn about it and simplified everything to "how much Hp you got".

**** that boss,**** that "who-cares-about-your-defence" thing. b:angry

That boss is a very strong bleed skill wich damage is based on your HP.
Since barbs EASELY have enough HP, these bosses simply bring the barb back as a tanker.

Coming from a barb complaining about his seeker, that looks abit weird

I have not noticed anything different yesterday, and doubt they changed it without maint.
So I doubt they changed anything. We'd hear from alot more sides if they did

Just because you have 1 bad run, doesn't mean the buffed the boss or something

You were probably just standing closer this time. Move BB away or have have tank move boss away so it's not right on top of you. AoE is likely what killed you this time.

this + boss sometimes buff up his p.attack and that affect his aoe. 6k hp friend cleric (she had physical warsong belt and cube neck) dropping one shot through BB... thats scary b:surrender

O.o are you sure about that? with 3-star NPC p.def ornaments my Cleric gets the same damage.Wrost thing its when he aoe stun + BB drops then he quickly does phy.aoe = Cleric dead b:surrender

I did SOT yesterday, duo DD'd him with a friend(cleric BB heal support) and we killed him as normal. Not hard at all. My sin has 7k hp buffed, my barb friend had 16k or 17k hp, and my wifeys cleric has 5k hp buffed....we all lived long as BB was up.

We had BB set right next to/on boss. You just can't hit him when he's healing or you will die for sure.

I died maybe twice on this boss on my psychic (7.1k buffed hp, ~7k pdef) and one of those times it was just pure ****astic luck as it happened when the boss was at 30k. He likes to bite me, but not to the point where I get one-shot.

Like it was said, as much as you hate that answer, it was just 1 bad run. **** happens.

Yea I wear Pd ornas on my cleric for sot. Lunar Neck +6 and warsong belt +6. Still got bit on the rump for 10k. 7.5k+ hp with barb buffs. Idk what (if anything) specific causes him to do that... but its really annoying.
When I run sot on bm, i never use fists/claws. I always use ax/pole/sword skills, and stop attacks when hes buffed. Not had him 1 shot the cleric on any of my bm runs.

I didn't saw a difference, as other said was prolly a bad luck, 2 times is not so many.

Don't know...is he tougher on the platform? Do barbs interrupt something that might kill me? All I know is I have done this Bh more than a few times without issue, its normally really easy...stand there and do bb. Today 2/2 after a few seconds I was dead....This could have been since last weeks maintenance since I don't play often...Nothing is new on my gear....nothing is broken.

I think you were simply on a bad place with BB. The aoe with stun seems to be fan shaped or something (not sure, but it's definately not all around him max range). The physical damage off the aoe hits pretty hard when you're out bb.

Another possibility is maybe you had a ranged tanker, making the boss aoe more ? (not sure, cause boss seems to always get to melee range)

In any case, I didn't find the boss harder then before.

I just talked to a faction member and he said that Barbs/tank needs to cancel his first attack? Can a Barb/Tank confirm this? That might explain when with the random squad today I kept getting one hit?

I never heard or noticed this. His aggro range + the platform you run on, makes it pretty hard to cancel his 1st attack. I never did it, and usually clerics don't die. I had a few exceptions, but that was all either lag/dc or just a crappy cleric

Its just pisses me off since my Seeker its way better geared than me. She has almost full G15 Morai Set and gets 1 shooted, while me with TT90 Set can tank it just fine with not even pots(unless Cleric have a crappy weapon),and I don't even have def./warding levels.

Defence lvls, warding lvls and even bless-buffs don't affect the bleed attack. Since that is the main thread for the tanker, it's not that surprising. Out of my barb, bm and seeker that all share the same armor, seeker is the weakest to tank that boss.

I guess I will try it again...I read "just because you have one bad run does not mean...." I hate trying to ask questions on here due to answers like this one. I have done this bh more than a few times and NEVER EVER...I repeat NEVER have I been 1 shot in this manor. It then happens 2 times in a row. This to me is a logical concern and something worth pondering.

I didn't get knocked out of bb, I watched myself go from Glowing BB to dead....not once randomly but the last two times. I watched my health go from full to zero. If I sound cross its because I feel some people treat others like idiots. I guess if no one else has experienced this than I maybe it was some off fluke.

O I'm sorry
Did your parents got you the wrong colored car for your sweet 16 birthday?

Just because you didn't get an awnser that doesn't fully agree to you, doesn't mean someone is pulling it out of their ***.
I'll say it again. 1 or 2 runs of bad luck says NOTHING about a boss. Ever seen the bosses in TT3-x?
We'll take GBA boss for example. Sometimes he purges, stuns, amps, stuns more, does an armor break, all at the same time. And sometimes, he doesn't do any of that ****. Does that mean they made the boss easier because he doesn't debuf now? Nope, you just hit a lucky moment.
Same for this boss

The boss is not harder. I'm surprised nobody has done a walk threw for the new bosses but...

SoT Boss Walk Threw:

1st off There is a Mini Boss before this boss (Mass) he has a de-buff on him that reduces your hp think def to. You Need to purify this before fighting BH SOT boss! I have seen to many ppl not do this and wonder why they were 1 shot.

2nd BH Sot Boss has a Stun (normally does not hit cleric out of bb, but sometimes does)

3rd BH Sot Boss has AOE Physical that does more damage the closer you are to the boss.
When I play as my cleric if i don't know the barb I ask him not to pull boss on top off BB, but to fight boss at farthest point of BB. (boss will walk to where ever the barb is standing, barb does not have to run past BB to pull this boss!) When I play on my squishy mystic I stand away from bb and close to the edge of bosses AOE range or i die lol.

4th This boss has a Healing Buff, I is not like the bosses healing buff in Aba! It looks like a Ih buff it does react to aps but again not like Aba's boss. Aba boss has 2 healing buffs, SOT boss has only one. When Sot Boss has IH buff icon this is a good time for any aps in your squad to use skills not aps. The boss does not heal because of aps attacks but he does make a big aoe hit. The ih heal its self heals boss about 1/4 of his hp no matter what, so this is why you should still attack it but without aps, use skills.

Cleric survival 101 for BH SOT Boss:
Always have res scroll!
If you do die get up as fast as passable and run to farthest IH healing range from barb and stack IH, and purify barb (bosses Bleed Effect). (if you choose to stay and put up BB again without barb, bm, Cleric buffs, your asking to die again!)

Barb survival 101 for BH SOT Boss:
Alacrity of the Beast 1st hit on boss if your fast enough you will interrupt that 1st hit that hurts. Some ppl use protection skills, Invoke the Spirit i find its a waste of chi and slows you down. Chi you might need to hold all important agro.
My combo for pulling the boss may not be what everyone uses, its as follows. Alacrity of Beast, Crab Meat, Flesh Ream, Devour, Flesh Ream, then run towards BB (NOT to cleric Not past BB!)
I also have things like IG just in case BB drops or cleric dies. This give cleric time to recover.

APS survival 101 for BH SOT Boss:
Try to work as a team ^^ ya know classic combos like Spark HF, SS, AMP Cloud Eruption.
When Bosses IH Icon Comes up Its a good time to stop APSing and start using skills, not only does this help with aoe damage but more importantly for you as DD it gives barb time to get better control of the agro, and helps the timing for BM's next HF. Always wait untill after Bosses IH buff to do HF but spark can be done during the buff to save time.
Pulling boss as APS Totally fun and do able, just make sure to spark or IG what ever you like best.

Finally This boss comes down to team work! Everyone need to know there role and you wont have a problem, if your concerned that someone on your team may not know there role, simply pm them politely to reduce embarrassment, some ppl get mad. I say it better to communicate.

Hope this helps you GL on runs.

My tactic for killing this New SOT boss and the Abba one.
Not Flawless, but gets the job done.

1)tank runs in and uses AD for the 1st hit.
2)build Basic Aggro up.
3) can Invoke continue to spam skills.
4)Cleric / Mystic can then start Spamming IH/ Purify from Max range .


Healer Never gets hit. from the attacks at that kind of range and is able to Purify the Bleed quickly.
other AA users can stay at max range too.

the other Melee characters in the squad can jump in and hit the boss normally. (usually takes them about 30 seconds to realise they are not getting BB and just need to deal with it )

When the boss ' aoes. just throw an Aoe heal on the squad.

and most importantly, dont aps the dam thing on heal.
Just have the Tank chat with the cleric before anyone jumps in, so people know what the crack is. and there should be np

My mystic got 6k hp and i don't die to both SoT and Abba, maybe you do something wrong.
I heard the boss first hit one shot everyone except barb or someone with a really high hp/def, maybe you DD to fast get aggro and get one shot cause you don't let the barb do his job.
