My brother in Christ, on arc 1 everything melts if you sneeze at it. You should optimize your build a bit it seems.

Many of us will not even attempt Arc 4 after getting whomped there a few times.
The content fails as a general appeal area.

And IA is just not fun. After about arc 3 the view just isn’t worth the climb. It’s much more enjoyable as a duo - but solo I generally tap out at start of arc 3 and flip the clock. It’s just ‘meh’
Kinda wish they would have two levels of scaling / one for farming and one for achievements. Oh well - easy enough to restart.
Interesting. I didn't know that. I haven't gone beyond Arc 5? (whichever is needed for the final achievement and title), since it doesn't interest me.

I thought they were totally random and therefore could repeat? Good to know if not. Thanks. I totally agree that it's fun to see content from everywhere.

Yes, very sure. The shamens with their stunning meteors and the totems are there. The pets, thank goodness, are not.

Ysmgar in the IA does have one extra mechanic that he doesn't have in the WB fight, where the sea orbs will explode when they touch him (instead of them just healing him in the WB fight), but he also loses their freezing move. Incidentally, the HM of Yandir involves him spawning Shamans and their meteors, along with his pets and totems, but I haven't seen him in the Archive.
This is a good reminder. Similar to the Rink of Frozen Blood in Maelstrom. For the Warrior, I scribed an AoE interrupt similar to the DK Inhale/Deep Breath, but I haven't encountered him since.Dagoth_Rac wrote: »Also, have you tried slowing down? Some of the bosses have mechanics that are health based, and on Arc 1 you can burn through their stages pretty fast and get overwhelmed by mechanics. I know The Warrior is like this. He became much less chaotic and messy if I slow burned him and was more methodical about fight.
