Mother Shahraz burst damage

[Jensaarai]

Also in a later patch, we'll be able to disable the "decreased melee swing time" effect caused by Mother Shahraz parrying a melee attack. The parry mechanic is exacerbating the already rather intense burst damage that Mother Shahraz can inflict.

Well, aside from the fact that weapon expertise is definitely looking more interesting now, I wonder how many warriors QQ'd for this change, and how many people used a Tankadin on this boss.

Playing to the warriors yet again, Blizzard. Weak.

Interesting. Where did you find that quotation?

Imo this change is win either way. Having two offtanks just stand there doing absolutely nothing because they can't melee at the fear of oneshotting your tank to the already high burst damage Mother does absolutely sucks.

I assure you that absolutely noone used a paladin to tank her, because she apparently likes to splat the tank for 25k damage during knockbacks and the best way to survive is Shield Wall. That and it's a SR fight where you need uncrushability. Basically very far from ideal for us, which is unfortunate given her potential.

I really wonder how we're supposed to be changed, that we will be acceptable MTs for bosses like this. It would be nice, but at the same time I get the feeling that they would have advertised it more.

Well they really were not going to advertise much at this point with Blizzcon coming, but I do agree that we are very unlikely to see the changes that would be required for something like this.

You're kidding, right? I guess I hadn't looked too much into it but she fucking quad-wields and we can't tank her?

G fucking G Blizzard.

Go go gadget resist fight.




I seem to remember a little something about not having any more of those because they're lame wallet checks...

On the Parry topic, our Warrior MT died last night on Teron in about 0.5 seconds because he got parried right after Shield Block went down. 10k crush followed immediately by a 12k crush. Ouch.

BT resist fights the gear at least comes pretty naturally, as most of the stuff you need to craft it drops off trash in the instance and the patterns are rep-based.

There's still the other mats to get, but a guild can more than make up for it by selling extra gems/patterns that drop.
