ZOS gave up on Yokeda Kai?

Sinolai

Just a funny thing I noticed from PTS Patch notes:

"Yokeda Kai's clones can no longer be attacked and do not last as long when summoned, though they still must be interrupted during the encounter. Their health bar is also now gold to indicate they are invulnerable."

I guess they didn't know how to fix it and just decided to redo the mechanics

It seems like they want to fix the lightning heavy attack cheese once and for all.

Chufu

I feel this will make the fight much easier

Mr_Walker

So now we just stand there and... occasionally interrupt?

This doesn't seem like an enormous amount of fun.

That fight was unnecessarily brutal hopefully this make it a bit easier and slight less buggy.

Berenhir

Probably the coder who took a look at the source code just ctrl+A DEL and write something useful from scratch

Sorry about that , I don't really get it .

VHRC TOP is always hard to the PUG group and no glitch

Jhalin

Fixing the glitchy spawns and no-rezzing bug would’ve been harder than disabling the mechanic. On the plus side farming AY daggers will be much easier

So will that dragonknight skill be the only way to interupt them as every overway of interrupting does damage & they are invulnerable?

Guards are invulnerable and last I checked you can crushing shock them without any issues.I'd assume you should be fine still.

Yes, PUGs suck at interrupting. However, there is a glitch that give all clones the same resistances as the real boss when their HP drops to around 25%. Clones used to take 5(?)x more damage than the real boss. Becouse the clones are not dying as they used to, the upstairs Group is enjoying pretty much a non-stop meteor shower and impulses, which made the fight more brutal than intended.

no, just 1 stands in the back and interrupts, all others can burn the boss, which will not have the shield

the fights gona get easyer, and will be over way faster

That is a pretty surefire way to get wiped. At 30% (or 25%, it's been some time since I was there) all 4 copies will channel this attack at the same time. Having only one player interrupting them means it takes at least 4 GCDs to do so. Assuming perfect aiming this means at least 4 seconds dealing with the damage from them.

Place one dps at each spawn (they are fixed) and have them bash them immediately and them step away and attack the real boss.

That hasn’t worked well since the passive was nerfed from 300% to 100% - and since they did something where they take really low damage and just constantly spam all their mechanics from execute...I guess we know who’s been skipping top 😂

Exactly this - but one would have to not be skipping top to have experienced it! ;-)
