Druid and padding your numbers
when cleaving the Grasping Hands.
The Bad: The fight doesn’t feel
very dedicated to punishing you
for messing up. Sure, you may die
from running into too many runes
without being healed, but other than
that it can be very hard to die. While
the orange and green (Empowered
Runes and Grasp) pools have an
element of “you can wipe if you mess
this up”, the slimes from the purple
pool are hardly threatening and the
fight may as well just end when you
reach it with the red and green out of
the way. Also, there’s what feels like
more trash heading to this boss then
there is in the rest of the dungeons.
It just seems to go on forever.
Good:
• Solid Three-phase fight
with natural progression.
• Great for punishing
mouthy DPS when
you’re the raid leader.
• Great for padding the numbers
