ibomez unfair on console

the mechanics don't work well on console whatsoever. the synergy makes you have to stop, aim, throw, which takes about 4 seconds. so you have to constantly do this or else the prisoners get to the middle. on top of this, the flesh atronach needs to be dps'ed, and we just don't have the time to do it. this fight needs to be fixed for console

    If it makes you feel better it's really not much better on PC. We tried for an hour and a half yesterday, and we had a REALLY good team. I like the concept of the fight, but it's frustrating. The grenades seem to never spawn close to you, the "X" to interact with them has a 1-2 second lag before it appears, and sometimes by the time you run across the room the grenades explode on their own before you get to them.

    If your DPS is good enough you can burn down Ibomez without worring about the Atronachs or much else, but you need a seriously, ridiculously high DPS for that.

    It's a frustrating fight unless you've got some of the best of the best on your team.

    Have no fear! In the last ESO Live episode they announced they will be nerfing ICP and WGT even more so more people can get the achievements in them.

    Also, if you have good dps, maybe you should do the burn strat which is much easier. Stay on boss until he goes into poison phase, then burn down the first 2 aboms that spawned, then burn the boss and he should die before the 3rd abom enrages.

    No more so called mechanics that require the use of the synergy or other button press. No more... No more...

    The is nothing wrong with a button press mechanic. For example the Spinning blade levers in stage 2 of MSA is alright. The grenades are bad just because the synergy system and the targeting is crappy. They are just not fluid enough and they feel really gamey, especially the ones in MSA.

    ZOS, don't even thing about lowering the difficulty. Learning how to play isn't pleasant for some people, but it's a lesson every noob should take to become a better player, eventually. And if the content is too easy, it becomes boring. (I don't expect game-difficulty to head back to the 80s now, but making another cakewalk tasks is bad for the game in the long term.)

    i love l2p, i do. but what i dont love is the crappy mechanic that is sticky or gamey or whatever with synergy meat sacks. the way the meat works doesn't make sense. at least let me pick it up and move before i throw it

    Also. You will soon be able to que as a group to boost your Damage done and Lower your damage taken. Them nerfing this is no supprise honestly. Those of us that farmed it like it was a cake walk got to get the gear first!

    I was just in a group that dealt with the same thing. Worst mechanic I've ever seen in a mmo for console players. And no we didn't get the boss past 50% b4 getting *** by flesh atros. This is supposed to be endgame fun ? Gonna guess they didn't think much about running the synergy with just your rite thumb on controllers .

    the fact you state you must have the best of the best says it all. Lol on console we see no damage out #

    Agreed. Synergy and targeting is to unresponsive. If they cant make it smooth, just remove or stop making content that requires it. Even worse after they reduced the radius of synergies. Grenades in vICP are the worst.

    I dont think vWGT needs any nerfing really, it's doable for casual PvE groups(just not pugs without ts). There are no crazy dps races involved and no excessive dmg, just stay out of bad stuff and know mechanics.

    Ibomez the Flesh Sculptor could however be tweaked a bit. Reduce amount of prisoners pouring out slightly and increase the enrage timer on the atro. Times I tried we just didn't have that elite dude with 24k dps that burned them down solo before enrage. Than second dps + healer always busy spamming flesh grenades (or trying to interact with sluggish synergy), so they cant help. Really a complete waste of time, if you only have "normal" dps in group.

    However, I fear ZoS will just massively reduce the health of everything in there, so people can start skipping mechanics altogether and speed farm :cold_sweat:
