Hello everyone and also specifically
@ZoS_JessicaFolsom (since I brought this up at the last ESO Live, albeit with only a quick note)
The encounter with Praxin Duare and his waves of adds is currently broken. Usually this fight is supposed to go like this:
Wave 1 - Plethora of tiny spiders
Wave 2 - Big spider and a few small ones
Wave 3 - Humanoid adds spawn, among them 2 Healers and 2 Evokers
Wave 4 - A spider miniboss spawns and some more adds
Afterwards you fight Praxin Duare himself.
Currently this is not working like this. Instead Waves 3+4 very often (7 out of 10 times it seemed) spawn together or within 2-3 seconds to another. Add to this that Praxin Duare himself tends to join the fight while you're still dealing with Big Rabbu and the other spawned minibosses.
This is apparently because of..
a) The minibosses (even scaled to VR10) have more health than bosses in DSA (scaled to VR14)
b) the spawn mechanics for the waves are borked
c) Praxin's early interference could either be a bug or due to the above mentioned things going horribly wrong.
Group setup:
VR 14 DK Tank (me)
VR 14 Templar Healer
VR 11 DK DPS (Dual-Wield / Bow)
VR 10 NB DPS (Destruction Staff)
Gear-wise we're all wearing at least purple gear (and legendary in case of the two VR14, including the Malubeth 2-piece-set on me as Tank) plus Enchantments and buff-food and whatnot of course.
Dungeon scaled down to VR10. Still not got past this, despite clearing all the other VR dungeons hardmodes with ease, even on VR 14
Please do take a close look at this since this is really annoying us, a band of people that has been playing together since more than three years by now and cleared plenty of content anywhere, really.
Similiar reports are coming in from others in guilds we are part of, so it's not just us failing. I realize some others beat this and yes, we'd probably beat it as well if all of the DPS went for Crushing Shock builds (which isn't even possible for the NB)... but this is clearly not the point of doing content together since we obviously work exceedingly well as a team elsewhere.
Thank you for your attention (and please don't do the obvious L2P comments, we're far from being the only ones with these issues and as I said we clear pretty much the rest of the game as well)
