Dungeons Oriphon Boss Raid

Hello. I had an interesting Idea for what the RoL Raid could be when you free the light beast.
Currently in wynn we have alot of killing bosses to complete the dungeon. However I don't believe we have a time completion based fight. For instance, The objective of the Boss fight isn't to kill the boss, but to instead outlast him. Maybe this could be designed with the fight having a timer and the boss continually throws attacks at your and you simply have to outlast him. The time can be reduced by maybe killing vital points like Darkness crystals in thr RoL raid. Im not entirely sure how to implement this as the Raids have not even been fully released. I just think a boss with a time based fight would be interesting vs a kill based fight.

 

I'm sure glass cannon builds would love this.

There is in fact a boss like this; Yahyabot, and it's generally accepted as one of the worst bosses in the game. Waiting out a boss is just dull as long as you have a tanky build with good sustain, but brutally hard as a glass cannon build where your only survival abilities are to kill the boss before it kills you. With Yahyabot it's mostly okay because you can cheese it, but for a real boss, that would fall apart rather quickly I think.

 

Wybel stage 2 and 4 and that geyser mining mech boss stage 2. And those are kind of the most annoying parts of the fight, even for me as a tank. It's just boring tanking everything. Glass cannons are also useless unless you can deal an absurd amount of burst damage.

 

it could be a good idea, but only if the timer is actually like really... REALLY low

 

At first I thought that this was a really bad suggestion... but If I think about it... it might be good.
If the boss fight is designed REALLY good.
If theres not just "just survive in this arena and bring a build with a lot of hp" but something more like the "King-Boo-Hoo fight" in Luigis Mansion 2 then it might be good.
But to make this idea work it would have to be a VERY good designed fight.

 

Or make the objective to purify him, as killing him would cause too many issues and be too difficult (plot wise).

 

Limiting when the player can attack is something we all hate. Escort missions are known to be the worst quest type in all games because it really limits the player. Yahyabot is the worst boss imo because you cant kill him, all you have to do is wait and run.

The enderdragon is a good boss in minecraft because while you have to destroy all the crystals, the fight itself does not limit you at all even though its basically unkillable without destroying the crystals. You dont have a waiting time where you cant do anything, even if the dragon doesnt come down you can shoot him or if you are good enough, you dont even have to destroy the crystals and kill him with beds if you are good enough.

What I would change is that the orphion boss to never have a section where you have to wait, it can be phase based like the enderdragon, but it should not have a time where you cant progres the fight

 

alright understandable. yahya is poopy ;-;

 

I like this idea

 

He’s probably going to be a raid already given that Gavel has 3 raids now and Orphion was originally supposed to be one.
