The notes say that the damage is reduced on normal. Should be able to wail everything and heal through it.

The question is: Can we fight Harry through blades or not?

they were only hitting once instead of the 2-3 times each, which is a big change.

ran a hard shroud on my caster in part 3, the blades were following people into rooms and going opposite direction from what they used to (at times, not all the time)

I'm not sure if we had gimp dps or what, but part 5 harry took about 8 minutes to bring down, so I don't know if they re-upped his hp.

When people bring in their personal lives, it is all fair game.  This board promotes trolling.  If you bring something up, expect it to be used against you at a later date if not immediately.  You want to bring up personal shit, well, that is your problem.

Shroud hard was snoozefest again.

blades hit for ~50 per tic. seemed like the hitbox was smaller and the you only got hit once per blade. unlike previously when you could get hit 3-4 times in a second.

I agree with that, Shroud Normal should be a snoozefest for LVL 20 geared parties.

It should still be a doable challenge for a LVL 16 ungeared party though and not a wipatoon as it had become with the blades.

Nothing wrong with that. Unpredictable lag-dependant triple-hits from blades aren't a good game mechanic at all. It's good they adjusted the hitboxes and fixed the number of possible hits per blade interaction.

It's bad they lowered normal blade damage at the same time. Still it doesn't change much, I guess. Bad parties will still try to fight through blades and die (I hope). Good leaders will have their melees jump out of blades and complete easiliy.

Friend told me that he was in a post-change normal pug shroud that still managed to fail Cheesy That's after waiting 10 minutes on the 12th person to step in cause you can't 11-man shroud! Cheesy

So yeah, doesn't really matter what they do to shroud, people will still die horrible deaths there and loot gods will be pleased

After all, they were right, no? They couldn't even 12-man a Shroud Smiley. In all seriousness though: In a PuG, with people I don't know, I would probably wait to fill.

A friend tried on a 590 HP WF fighter and failed. He was the only death before Harry died, though.

If you have moar XP, then shr plz!

He really does have a friend (I know, hard to beleive).  I'll pretend people care and tell the story.

Joined a PUG on my bard.  There were a couple of mic hoggers and party chat gear linkers, but ok, it's shroud just go with it.

We end up filling and step inside.  Already figured it wouldn't be super smooth, but it's normal shroud with gimp blades so how bad can it be?

This bad....

We kill a few portals (About 4 I think) then someone types in party chat that they didn't make it into the raid on time.  The guy apologises (It happens) and I just figure to myslef, we'll end up 11 maning it. 

For the rest of part 1, a few mic hoggers start debating about whether we can complete 11 man and whether we should reform. 

Before you fall asleep readng this, the group decided (The ones talking) that the shroud was far to dangerous to 11 man so the group finished part 1, recalled and reformed. 

I didn't mind staying while I was there for the first run, but once they gave me the get out of jail free card of a reform,  that was it for me.

Madcow (Evandus and his 13458345734 alts) was in the run also and I think he also made a discreet exit.

run it twice since the change. first time on my paladin, second time on my bard (both 500-550+/- hp at any given time).  pallie's run was mostly clean (lost one in part 4 before Harry even dropped because people didn't listen and killed devils too fast), but the bard's run, caught a lag spike just as we went to jump out of the blades and lost about 5 people, myself included.

it's easier, but it's still no walk in the park
