Can you not interrupt him in vet like you can in normal?

Yes you can, but the time in shield is best for dpsing the boss.

I'll just leave this here...

Grats for wasting our time in rounds 1-6, and also for shutting down new content for a ?week? Are the people in charge of this at least embarrassed? Both in making the change and testing the change.

EDIT: It is completable, by kiting the boss in round 7 while enraged through the entire encounter. Sounds impossible for melee anyway.

Just got my second maelstrom weapon. The first was a Bow with defending. The second was...a Bow with...defending. Can we change this into an RNG thread now

I'll raise you my bow with defending!

I beat the stage 7 boss all the time by interrupting his scream every time. It doesn't really make the encounter more difficult, just a little longer.

Ask a stamina melee character how he feels about that "not any more difficult" I am sure you play sorc LOL

I have to agree that I find it hard to to take seriously anything that Sorc player has to say about Maelstrom.

or the entire game.

It has nothing to do with being a sorc, there is just no reason to take any damage at all in that fight if you're ranged as everything is avoidable or reflectable.

And as I said, screw snipe, spam venom arrow, you'll do less damage but as I said, with this bug it will take a little longer to kill him. Big deal.

I run vMSA with sword and board and don't shield stack, I use Hardened Ward only so your sorc comments are irrelevant.

I agree the same can be done with a stam build, but tbh all you need is hardened ward all I use is hardened and power surge and It is still easy.

Hardened is what is making it so easy for sorcs lol wish I had a shield as strong as hardened to block physical damage and magic damage

Remember that one time when someone gone and screwed Annulment for everyone instead of fixing shield staking? Fun times.

fixed?

Don't think so, at least 2h ago it wasn't. If they hotfix it there should be a note in the patch note section

care about fixes. real players goes though those bugs.

You can bash him with block cast to interupt.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , one of my teammates is getting the bug where they sheathe their weapon over and over despite the newest patch note.

Can you also fix the chains "too high or too low" bug. Seriously, I spoke up about this issue during the IC PTS and the Wrothgar PTS. Just please get it fixed as it is unbelievably aggravating.

The Chains bug has existed for a long time (1.4ish?). It's a direct consequence of preventing DKs from chaining people down off of keep walls. It is extremely frustrating, but easily avoided by Heavy attacking the air prior to engaging a group of mobs.

Not saying this shouldn't be fixed, but this is most definitely not a priority.

the first phase in vmsa is also bugged as the last round of mobs before the boss spawns 2 packs at once.. its not a big deal since its the first area but still a bug.

Theres also something wrong with the boss on stage 5 when you burn her to quickly as shes breaking the ice platforms. She slides immediatly over to you.

It doesn't really matter. It is just kind of hard to take a Sorc seriously that is going on about how easy it is. Yes, it is easy for you, your class is the easy mode class for Maelstrom. It is harder for someone built around melee damage to deal with the boss if the mechanics were inadvertently broken in an update....

There is no such thing as "Built around melee damage". I have a stamina character too. I have to change my build out on my sorc for different stages and fights, sometimes in the middle of 2 stages. Trying to tell me that equipping a freaking bow and dropping venom arrow on your bar makes the fight any more difficult for you is ridiculous. I 1 shot it last night and the only time I took damage at all was from the adds when I reflected the attack from one add the other hit me and then I'd kill both. The boss did 0 damage to me the entire fight, it's a joke fight.

100% of my damage to the boss was crushing shock....no different than venom arrow. Get out of here with that "Sorc EZmode" garbage, most of the Sorcs I know haven't/can't even complete it. I'm sure once enough good players figure out how to beat it with your class and post detailed instructional videos, you'll be able to do it too.

Kilt em

Nice you have a stamina character. Looking at the leaderboards and your signature, I see a completion on your Sorc before the hotfix, but I don't see your NB on there.

Looking at the leaderboards since they wiped them, it's not that hard to figure out that the entire ordeal of Maelstrom is significantly easier on a Sorc. As of 12:25 PM 11/17/2015 there are 21 Sorc completions, 1 Templar completion, 2 DK completions, 6 NB completions. There are currently double the amount of Sorc completions to every single other class in the game combined. The realistic person would draw the conclusion that Sorcs have an easier time in Maelstrom. The silly person would draw the conclusion that it has anything at all to do with good players, bad players, and waiting video tutorials.

im under no pretense, vMA is easier on sorcs.
though i would argue its just as easy on mag nb.
i would also argue its not much more difficult on a mag temp

i have completed vMA on my sorc like 3-4 time and on my temp once. the fastest time i got on my sorc was 1:58, i know not very impressive.
on my temp, my very first try i finished in 3 hours. my very first time on my sorc took me 3 hour as well. now that theyve patched it i can run it more when i have time.

the point is, once you run it enough times with a class youll learn how to deal with the mechanics with that class. While doing it i was literally laughing at how quickly i was killing things with just sweeps. Ive learn that i can have rapid regen up and sweeps and just heal through the deadroth on that last boss on my sorc i just shielded through it. each class has a way to deal with the mechanics. (at least temp and sorc lets not talk about dk here ;P)

youre saying its significantly easier for sorcs i disagree.
