Hotfix 2.0 - Hotfix #2

Isn’t that how it works now? Shift + arrow storm to cast?

 

No

 

Oh well then yeah. I agree

 

Why is the corruption bar a boss at olease revert I don’t look up when combatting

 

it was already so powerful, why did they buff sharpshooter (not complaining)
Twain's arc and crepuscular ray meta

 

Like this a lot. Shadestepper still needs a few buffs imo, along with the other assassin archetypes to allow for better boss dps (after like 20 raids on assassin, I wanna cry. I'm using cataclysm too, so idk what's up.) Pretty good direction overall.

 

Solar Vanguard needs a sizable nerf. It's exponentially more difficult than Qira in its current state.

Yes, it's possible to do this boss at level 80. But for some classes, it's extremely difficult and has little to no margin of error given how easily the boss can nuke you.

A friend decided that he wanted to try to get a Master Catalyst from the Hive Shop, So, he breezes through thunder, air, earth, and water.....

And gets 1 shot on fire.

Thinking that it's just a mistake that he made, he tries again. He avoids mechanics, almost gets it to the second phase..

And gets 1 shot again.

No matter what he tried, (better gear, more dps, etc) the boss did so much damage leaving no room for error that there was nothing that he could do given the way the fight is setup.

It wasn't til we discovered that it was just the boss that was overtuned that we figured out how to beat it. (I might have told YYGamer "aight kid" while in the process of theorycrafting this fight after dying. I'm sorry >_>)

This is the following gear my friend and I used to beat Solar Vanguard:

WynnBuilder build:
> Cancer֎
> Leo
> Greaves of the Veneer
> Silt of the Seafloor
> Darksteel Ring
> Darksteel Ring
> Remikas' Authority
> Bottled Thunderstorm
> Overdrive []

with Mask of the Fanatic and my friend using Lunatic for DPS once he got his fragment.

Even then, it took countless tries and soul point regening after buggy fight after buggy fight until finally, both of us manage to a) kill the boss and b) pick up the fragment.

Afterwards, we spent the next couple of hours carrying the unfortunate souls who got stuck on Solar Vanguard. Some did not make it and rage quit on the first try. It seemed like every time we succeeded, there was yet another person who needed help.

Today, I spent a couple hours of my time helping 4 players get their fire boss + qira completions. I definitely was better at the fight and had more successful kills than deaths this time, but felt like I was playing an ugly game of Russian Roulette, with fewer bullets in the gun than yesterday. Almost every successful completion for them resulted in them dying before I or someone else killed the boss. It wasn't funny just how much easier Qira was.

Every single person that I came across during this odyssey, even the people who did it on their own, felt like the fire division boss was way too overpowered.

When max hp + fire def gear designed for a side boss only gives you a small fighting chance as a lvl 105 on a boss designed for level 80+, it may need a nerf.

 

Oh I see
Idk man, I didn't really have much problem dealing with solar vanguard with nepta mage
But maybe because I'm a mage and I could heal myself idk

 

Mage/Archer definitely has the easiest time at this boss

 

I was the archer and I only managed to kill it once in my 8 failed runs. I avoided everything, avoid the geyser, the burning platform, and even keep my distance while spamming my arrow bomb but to no avail. I did manage to kill it the second time but he pulled the last laugh on me.

 

True just because technically you have the easiest time doesn't mean it's easy.

 

rip mask of the fanatic
50% ->35% makes big difference

 

very amazing

 

this is inexplicably not locked and I want the last message

 

No, I'll have it!
