Chronosphere Raid

[Digita]

First resurrection shrine after zoning doesn't show icon on map.

Also, Ice Storm: Bludgeon Damage and Ice Storm: Cold Damage (from the Conjoined... final fight) remains on player after completion, and DIED in Marketplace turning in quest.

I really enjoyed this quest even though I noticed quite a few differences from the real event. As a training raid, I think you guys found the right balance of strategy and easy button recovery by allowing use of vendors in the Rusty Nail and party wipe teleport to a res shrine. My only concern is Bloodplate. In our party we had a capped Sorc, a lvl 18 wiz, and a capped Fvs in on elite. What a pita to kill him and we should have been able to just decimate him. I understand it's a raid but understand that I often 2 - 4 man the Demon Queen on Elite with the same toon and she is a pushover combared to this guy. I don't think a bunch of at level new players are going to be able to handle him without a great deal of resources being used and a whole lot of death/frustration.

Blood plate has healers. Just take them out

I figured that out, thanks. I am just thinking of all the levels 6's and there weapons.

In the known issues, i feel this is overly downplayed:

"Some of the cold effects applied in the end fight may not wear off as expected."

When in fact, after finishing the raid, i rested, then finished out, then when talking to quest/raid giver, the lingering effects in fact KILLED me before i could get my reward.

For a group of lvl 6 players, that might be a bit confusing as well as discouraging.

Also agree with the above poster on the difficulty of the fight in the Bank. Assuming the raid group is made up of lvl 5-7 characters, many will not have access to good weapons at that point. (assuming they don't buy from the store).

just check out tht raid as well, I can clearly understand how the bloodplate battle can be harsh but how i see it is this:

It's going to be a "Battle of Attrition" its clearly gonna be a rough fight even for the low lvl characters even on normal, since i tested out this raid soloing it on norm with my 20lvl pally. now the final fight............well there is 1 word that can describe it.

epic.

this will be a good training exercise for raiding.
