Use this thread to give feedback about the latest changes to the new U72 raid!

Changes for this preview:
  • The raid no longer falsely offers a heroic version.
  • There should no longer be too many Mist Stalkers at once.
  • It should now be easier to see Mist Stalkers who are entering the ritual chamber.
  • Lanterns for the ritual have been adjusted to offer a different amount of charges based on difficulty (normal, hard, elite/reaper)
  • Other changes have been made to the raid for fun and challenge. Let us know what you think!

Completed a few more times. And tested reaper.
  • Lanterns change is a nice QoL
  • New paths is nice, extra mechanics on hard diff are cool.
  • Debuff is quite punishing, though I do like it makes it matter to have proper builds for raiding.
  • Overall incoming damage does feel over tuned at least initially - not opposed guild is in consensus harder raids are good
  • Feels like KT islands alot going on that are punishing at higher difficulties - awesome
  • Didn't test opt
  • Overall visibility feels way better then last lama, especially the mistwalkers
  • Quite the DPS check in this raid - again making proper builds matter

Dps checks in raids are awful.
"Proper builds" just means the few people who have the time/resources to invest in the game.

Raids already are a great divider in the community.

The normal difficulty for raids should be more lenient and accessible to promote people trying it out.
The mechanics should force some teamplay and learning but the hitpoints and damage shouldnt simply force out half the player base.

A 10% droprate and 5% of a drop in tokens is more than stingy enough to make sure the plebs don't actually get any gear for their effort.

The AC on the Hydra and some other mobs is a bit much:
Combat): You attack The Five Fangs. You roll a 6 (+191): you miss!

The skulls with the death-rays are overly-punitive to melees.

HP might be a bit on the high side, but I guess this is the new normal?

Other than that, pretty fun raid.
