Zenimax, please fix Zandadunoz the Reborn's Soul Flame!

UltimaJoe777

You can't frickin' see it until it has either killed you or damaged you greatly, and even after that you still don't see it! I think I've seen it maybe once before when it was used on me and never again...

If I'm going to get killed I'd at least like to see the attack coming, just saying...

UltimaJoe777

Does anyone else experience this issue or just me?

lolo_01b16_ESO

Hm, which attack is that? The only hard hitting things I saw in that fight where the exploding adds and some fire ball that can be dodged the same way as you can do it with any other titan in this game.
But I never attemted to solo him, so there might be attacks that never hit me.

UltimaJoe777

Soul Flame is a small, hard-hitting circle of flames that appears at your feet, if he is targeting you when he uses it that is lol and I believe it takes him a few seconds or so to unleash it once he starts using it.

UltimaJoe777

Well either way this should be looked into please @ZOS_GinaBruno or anyone from Zenimax to relay to bug fix team...

UltimaJoe777

Fine, whatever, I'm done. If I can't even get reassurance my bug reports are seen then what's the point...

Still going on about this? You could always go back to lurking and answering questions in the "Ask Ultima Joe Anything" thread.

On a more serious note, I've only ever fought him once. Never had an issue, then again, I'm constantly on the move to ensure I'm always avoiding red zones. Ever consider there's no actual issue and maybe it's just your reaction time? I don't know, out of anyone that was there fighting him, not one person died.

ThePonzzz

I see it on my end.

No the issue I experience is there isn't even a red zone with Soul Flame. I see nothing and suddenly boom I've taken 16k damage.

Also for the record Soul Flame isn't the thing where he makes fire appear all over the place.

Still don't have an issue. If you're dying from 16k damage, chances are your buff food wore off or, if you're using buff food and 16k damage is still one-shotting you, your health is too low. For anything but tanks, you want at least, at LEAST 18k in PvE. If it's not one-shotting you and you're just taking a lot of damage, I'd say it's working as intended. The new World Bosses were meant to be close to dungeon difficulty bosses, so I'd say it's pretty normal. Could be your healers fault for not getting those heals off in time.

There's a lot of variables here. Have a clip/video of it to give more insight about what you're experiencing?

I do not, but I can survive 16k damage. I'm just injured when I take it lol

I am constantly on the move during the fight though, what with the kamikaze Scamps and all lol

Those scamps do run pretty rampant in an abundance.

With that said, I'd say just a stroke of bad mechanic timing. If anything, I'd say he uses that ability to frequently with the combination of constantly spawning suicide scamps.

Lol. I run vICP with 16.8k health. Maybe I should try 12k with green magicka food Get ALL the magicka!

What's your point? It doesn't change the fact that minimum "recommended" hp number is 18k buffed. That, however, doesn't mean it's necessary. To each their own, I guess.

He actually doesn't use Soul Flame as often as he does his other attacks. Frankly I'm under the impression Soul Flame is a sucker punch he throws every now and again... I mean it sets the small circle of flames right at his target's feet but I cannot see any red rings or even the flames itself so if I do happen to die to it I see nothing and just drop dead, hence the reason I made this thread. It's basically like how Cold Siege Weapons used to be, except you could actually see the shot coming if you look up lol

This fight is so annoying. I know that exact mechanic you are talking about. There is no animation he is going to use the attack other than a long pause from him. On my tank by the time you CC break it I'm nearly dead if any kami guys are around you are dead because they finish you off. All of my other classes instantly die to this mechanic. Something has got to be broken with it.

If not it is just a middle finger mechanic to not allow you to solo it.

Wrothgar World Bosses were not intended to be soloed. If you've soloed any, hats off to you, however. They're meant to be done with a group.

Darsaga

I solo nearly all of them. Had to learn how before everyone was doing them for the new items in TG. The Yeti of the North is a problem though. Just was stopping back in to say I'm happy that they fixed this attack with this update. You can now see the flame trail coming towards you. You can opt to dodge it or actually cc break it before it kills you.

lathbury

have they fixed it awesome

magnusthorek

I usually complain a lot about missing visual effects but this one works fines. And it's not even that strong attack. The exploding banekins are much OP than the boss himself.
