Quick Thoughts Post U50

[ThomasHunter]

Generally speaking, in regular quests that I have run (at least on LE), things seem pretty much the same. I went into quests ignoring my new stats and just tried to see how it "felt". I seemed okay.

However, in Dryad and the Demigod, this really felt much different and I was quite saddened as it was a fun raid that a casual person could join in on. Very approachable, even on Hard. My initial try at Hard post U50 and monsters seemed to be hitting much harder than before. I was even killed by a beetle for >1000 damage (on Hard mind you). I'm a SB and was still able to Coup de Grace the beetles at least. I was also able to still Bluff the giants (rolled a 1 on a 79 now - but don't know what is needed minimally yet).

We failed at the raid - twice. I okay dying in there (and probably do due to some mistake I make every third run or so), but this was just a whole group - wiping twice. I'm hoping the devs take a look at the damage and adjust as needed. I would love to continue to run this raid - as it felt before. It was just fun. Now it has more of a feel bad adjustment.

Admittedly, it was only a single night, but it was 1 of my top 3 characters who always contributes. I just died to easily and quickly.

Thanks for reading!

Experienced the same. U50 has destroyed the experience for regular players. U51 could bury the game.

I would add to that-ran riding the storm out and the lightning dmg was just disproportionate. Before u50 on a char with 1.9k hp dps ranger i was able to navigate the raid just fine . After u50 my hp dropped to about 1.4k but i was getting obliterated by the storm(not only me.. We wiped twice on elite)

Also, even tho they said reaper was adjusted , i ran the lordsmarch new chain on r10 on a tanky dps fighter.
Without getting much into the build.. Pre u50 I was taking around 700-900 per hit from a doom reaper. Now it's 900-1100..
Not sure why if every thing is nerfed i take More dmg..

It seems like reaper is much harder now as well. Legendary R4 feels about like R6 after u50.

PUGS I've been in are now 1 for 5 in LH Dryad. Maybe if you have a bunch of PL's and play with a regular guild, it's more doable. The problem I continue to have is that prior to U50, this raid was really new-raid-player friendly. And, it was really a blast. Now? It's just way over tuned.

SSG, please take another look at this raid to bring BACK in line with how it was/felt prior to U50. This all makes me so sad. Bleh.

I have been in several pugs that failed LH Dryad prior to U50. The bear can easily wipe a sub par party, and the dancing can do the same to a party that is mostly unfamiliar with that mechanic. Not saying this raid doesn't need more balance tweaks, just that from my experience this isn't a pug friendly raid to begin with.

Legendary quests feel the same as before, if not ever so slightly easier, whereas raids most defintely feel harder than before.

I used to solo heal pugs on LH all the time, not anymore after a lh killing time. Never had to be more on the ball. I’d demand two healers at this point at least in groups I don’t know.
