Heeeeeeeeey, who's got two thumbs and finally killed Shaper? This guy!
In retrospect, the fight is pretty easy, it is just understanding the mechanics and having enough dps so that the arena is not filled with floor trash. I did an attempt last week on Standard as I was screwing around with a build, but failed in the end. I did it in league last night and only died the once, and I am pretty sure it was because I desync'd and was in the Shaper beam according to the server but not on my screen. Anyway, just gloves, booooo.
Yeah so, to contextualize it all, this PROVES that cyclone is easymode and power creep is real: when long time, old man, SSF scrubs like me can do Shaper easy peasy. It DID help that I found a Tidebreaker mace and adjusted my tree a bit to give me 6 endurance charges, making the overall cyclone experience far smoother.
