6 or less. I saw it done back in the day when people weren't even full T3 yet.Quote:

Yes, you would need top players to pull this off, but as the fight was earlier with blood pools, removing buffs, and deicide, will never be again. They could rather have nerfed the mechanics than removing them completely! Or made this the 12-man version, while 24-man version would have full mechanics but nerfed with 50% for example.Quote:

I see Funcoms point of making older content irrelevant, and thus tempting guilds over on the newer content. But they shoot themselves in the foot by removing mechanics. With these nerfs of earlier tiers, some encounters in T5 will be very hard for these guilds to get past. Suddenly many reasons to use targets target or visible castbars have been removed from game. But ok, I'll go for the reasoning that T5 is the new T3, and T6 is the new T4.
Then you don't remember correctly, it was not the case that the boss was doing more than 50% dmg to mages regardless of their hp and protection (after 4.1.5, befor I don't know). Befor the nerf you could perfectly avoid it to get the hate buff with protection/hp and knowing how to play.Quote:

What do you mean not debuffed? I see a fully debuffed boss oO Or are you referring to some boss specific mechanic?
They mean not clicking the bull horns to remove stacks from the boss, the potato has all 6 stacks the entire time.Quote:
