Elite Legendary Tempest's Spine: Lam Build 4

[Holymunchkin]

completed 3-4man in an hour (screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/dBmVI)

mobs are hitting for 2.2k or so ( see here: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...-(Lam-Build-4) )

we cheesed it using pin / ottos and kiting ( see here for previous discussion. https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...Damage-Players )

not fun

lazy scaling of difficulty

we seriously need a better endfight, current one is shameful

don't have enough energy to comment further

please delay the release of this raid if its going to be like this there are so many issues with this unfun raid

This does not look like a real "legendary release" this looks like you add 10 to the CR of the mobs and called it a day.
Give us a real endgame. Take the time to do it. Don't invalidate all our raid gear with randomgen garbage.
pre-MoTU was the golden day. give us that back

This.

They are trying to do some much that everything they do is of poor quality. More is better does not apply here.

The new raids are almost identical to the old version. That could be alright if they were properly balanced. I mean obviously would prefer new raids, but still, could be alight in the sense of giving us something to do in end game. As it is the raids are not fine. The are the continuation of the cheesy difficulty they keep giving where the best way to solve is always to kite.

I can now say that without any sort of doubt legendary GS is a pure fiasco. It is a collection of power creep with stats and boring effects. It failed completely to live up to heroic GS and what it has meant over so many years.

The current buffs to casters are just favoring SLAs, which is really dumbing down casting.

The new random loot seems to be better than raid loot from only a few updates ago.

Why do so many things? Clearly they cannot. Better focus on a bunch of things and do them well. If you cannot give us new content (fresh new) that is FINE! I would rather have 3 good raids and no new quests than some crab raids and some quests that I may not even play more than a couple times.

Casters needed a thorough pass, not this master of guacamole thing that focuses exclusively on SLAs.

The new legendary feats are simply power creep. They will crush content under 30 and you don't really have enough content over 30 to keep us entertained.

Seriously guys, seriously...

well said erky I know many agree with exactly what you're saying
we will continue to play under the current meta that is coming but some may tire and quit
this update is looking like neither a net gain or loss to the game---it will not stymie a lack of content---it will just lead to more farming of LH / LN. Only ranged and caster support being fun in LE raids due to "difficulty."

Today I did LE TS in 20min with very few deaths. Am sure it could be done in under 10.

You do realise that "old" Greensteel is the single biggest Power LEAP this game has ever had right?

Min Lvl 12 Gear {Heck it was even lower when it came out} that people were still using at Lvl 20! {Some won't take it off at 28!}.

And even now with what's been shown on Lama there's multiple threads on these forums asking for Legendary Greensteel to be made min Lvl 20,25,26,28 {anything but 30!}.

What did you expect the Devs to do with it? Make it not worth farming because it's no better than what we've already got?
