You havent even gotten into the new mobs that T8 brings. Why they give you those little shitty packs of mobs up to 7, and then slap you across the face with a big cunt of a giant dude - tf if I know.
I get what you're saying, sort of? But the problem is mostly stemming from those fucking tentacles popping up in 50 million different places. You cant just follow the bosses path, either. So I guess I just dont understand your logic in that approach. If anything, I zoom all the way out with the max camera distance mod and place myself at the eye of the hurricane as I'm doing my rotation. I think the last boss there is hard, but its not impossible and definitely not something I would sub someone out for unless they for real just have garbage DPS. I want to do Ara a few more times before I feel as confident about it as I do with Grim Batol now. I've ran GB 4 times, 2 per character. The Healer is a night and day difference just between a competent group and one thats not. The other as a Lock DPS and its all brain dead easy as a DPS.
My Shaman is up to 595 already, had a 603 tank in my group earlier. The people pushing the envelope for this shit are butting right up against the wall and at this point, we're just cherry picking gear.
