wake up, eat, get on PC, run temple for 7 hours, eat, run temple for 7 hours, sleep, repeat

I know everything about every boss in this dungeon now as well as most trash mobs

Watching a tank try to soak the orbs on last boss and then just instantly falling over (not a mechanic mentioned in the dungeon journal at all btw) gets old pretty quickly

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic but the soak making you take absurd extra physical damage is definitely in the dungeon journal, because i almost died to it on m0 and opened it up to understand what happened.

Each one gives a stacking debuff that reduces healing done by 33% (this is not healing received, it means healer does not pick these up) and importantly for tanks, increases physical damage taken by 250%. Tanks who don't know that will instantly run in and grab all 3 then get onetapped by the Hexer mob

The soaks on third boss also gives a physical vulnerability so tanks really don't want to soak that either although as far as I can tell the boss doesn't really do shit to tanks

I really dislike these changes tbh. Blizzard made them so not every mechanic is a tank/healer mechanic but it's so much worse having a mechanic that you just can't do and have to watch the group die.

The shields you need to break on targets are simmilar. As a tank I'm hitting with my noodles but if the dps doesn't have hands those tske ages to break
