Hot Take: Raid Sucks

It's poorly designed I'll say it. I've played every raid since D1 and have never seen so many mechanics randomly shoved into 1 encounter before. I think 4th encounter is fine but 2nd encounter is so silly. I feel like the devs got together and drew a bunch of mechanics out of a hat then put them into the same encounter. Also what is up with the whole plate mechanic being the main focus and then disappearing halfway through the raid? The -5 trade for surges is also whack feel like I don't need to explain why.

  • Every raid has some kind of theme for its mechanics. In Kings Fall it were auras, in RoN it was dark and light, in Garden it were confluxes and now its about the 3 shapes. I think it's important to have a theme but also that there's variety in how it's used. The first 3 encounters use the shapes as pick ups for the resonance, Encounter 4 has the shape puzzles and Witness has the 3 different arms. Imo it would have been really boring if all 5 encounters were centered around those plates and pillars.

        I think it's good, 3rd encounter is a bit of a snooze fest and haven't learnt 4th yet. First is simple and a good introduction to the plates, second is simple and an easy 1 phase. So far I'm liking it, there's just so much else I haven't done yet for this DLC that I haven't had the time to really focus on the raid.

        • I wish the witness fight had new and unique mechanics that we haven’t seen in a boss before. This was their chance to get really creative with a final boss fight and all we got is another stand on plate and shoot crit damage phase. Another boss prior to the witness fight would have made it feel more like a final battle that it should be. As it stands I can’t help but think the witness ran out of friends before we even confronted it

          • I think this raid is one of the best raids they’ve ever made.
