why in the world are you still crying about s1? It makes me wonder how many people were religiously farming s1 battles just for the sake of "fun";oh right,nobody was doing those unless they had a valuable scroll drop like force from Windgun or master ES from chicken boss in fomorian base
That isn't true at all... The only hero modes I would run for fun were S1. (Glas in particular, but I would run though all the Roch raids often enough.) (less)
First of all, AoD isn't a Boss. It's a Raid Boss that got nerfed ... it's easy to solo.
Yes, you do get +8 weapons from questing. You also get almost full sets just from one run through a chapter that are high quality with good enchants.
Having your AP capped means nothing. It would be better to clarify my one-shot as one-combo since I see a combo equal to a shot.
Harma is a normal boss. I crit on Execute, and look, I didn't have enough damage to one-shot him. Notice my stats? This means new players,
who don't have their skills maxed, whose critical strikes do 130% damage and likely won't crit anyway, and don't do 5 times the damage of their peers through attack limit release and additional damage, aren't one-shotting any bosses. And as it being soloable, again, I was asked by a new player because they couldn't complete it on their own. New players, not vets that leveled a character in pre-RISE Vindictus, often do find the content challenging and hit walls that most vets wouldn't assist them through (in a timely fashion). (less)
I agree most bosses aren't killed with one-shot on a new character... but when I bothered to lvl one of my alts post-rise it really showed how sadly easy this is. No skill is needed when you do:
It is true that some skill is needed on S2 past raids using free easy gear... But they don't have those skills.
Then top it off to S3 requirements where any new person doesn't have a clue how much pain they are going to be walking into. But any old person with decent gear is bored since it is easy mode.
Now just doesn't work for everyone now.
And you should know with 5k AD damage even end game is a joke... even in a pug with 3 bare min QB req equip folks and you in Dullahan it should be done in less than 8 min. If you bother to trans + have all folks that are good with the ghost it can be easily done in <5 min. Run in a boat that has similar geared to you and the trans and it can be done in ~2 min with 1 bombing phase. (Get really good and you can skip every phase...)
The challenge isn't even the boss anymore, it is how far you can glitch it to skip entire phases of the battle.
