The Legendary Chronoscope has arrived... and it is in a state.

[PurpleSerpent]

OK, so Cannith's first run of the Legendary Chronoscope just finished, and there are a lot of issues with this one on launch.

Here's everything we noted down so far:

• Obviously the Monster Manual doesn't work. This is an acknowledged issue and we know a fix is coming.
• A bunch of monsters, including everything in the first fight, are still on Heroic statlines.
• Many of the chests are only dropping ML 4 Heroic items, despite statements that the raid is meant to drop Legendary loot directly.
• The new mechanic involving stopping the Abishai from regenerating is interesting, but it's pretty inconsistent on actually dropping the regeneration. A lot of the Red Abishai Sky Raiders were in denial about taking Cold damage.

More fundamentally, though, this raid does not feel like a challenge, even bearing in mind we were on Normal. The trash falls over when you sneeze, nobody in our PUG even came vaguely close to dying, and the raid bosses all went down in under 60 seconds. I don't think we even saw the circles spawning in the Abishai Devastator fight.

Hopefully these issues are going to be addressed in U65 next week, because in the state this raid has arrived in, there is pretty much no point running this over the Epic version.

(One positive thing I will say: the rumour about the lockout spreading to Heroic and Epic seems to be greatly exaggerated.)

Did LH and it was pretty easy. (other than an ill timed circle I didnt see)

The overwhelming review form several people was "meh".

All heroic loot.

Seems like r1 might be more fun. But it's still pretty much the same chrono you've run 800 times.

This is intended! We opted to keep the many auxillary chests dropping loot instead of removing them when adding the new end chest to the Legendary version of the raid. Consider the extra loot throughout the raid as a bonus on top - the Legendary loot is mean to drop in the end chest like other raids

well this isnt really a problem as the raid is 2nd to skellies opt items being for runes in terms of update importance

Ah, thank you! This was unclear from previous discussions on the loot.

 

[somenewnoob]

Oh and FYI - it IS safe to dd after the end fight. Does not get you locked out.

Is it still soloable on LN? Does it drop Threads? I can imagine one point to running it

Theres no recipe to craft the new augment sets in the cauldron in harbor, (+3 artifact to Imbue, 10% Legendary Bonus to HP , +3 artifact to assassinate) is another place to craft the new augment sets or will be in the Legendary Chrono as a loot?

Other raids optional chests drop legendary named loot. Do the chests from the optionals in chrono drop named legendary loot? Think all we saw was heroic named loot in the optional chests. which is not in line with other raids.

(and makes the legendary optionals immediately useless to waste time on)
