Laethys - v1.8, Hotfix 8

[bctrainers]

INFERNAL DAWN
* Laethys:
- Increased Laethys' Enrage timer by 1 minute.
- Increased the timer for the Laethys Achievement, 'Gold Rush', from 8 minutes to 9 minutes.
- Slightly increased the time between minion spawns in the initial phase of the encounter.
- Greed's Wrath will deal substantially less damage when it ticks just after the target has taken damage from Golden Subjugation.
- Laethys no longer gains Energy while channeling Golden Destruction.
- Gilded Shrapnel can no longer be reflected.
* Maklamos the Scryer: Now with even more squashed bugs.

In before "NERRRRF" and stuff. Decent changes for a really interesting encounter.

Wonder how much closer 1 more minute will put guilds to a kill. Also appears that her resetting to full HP in p2 is NOT a bug :P

[Adastra]

Well, it seems all of these changes will allow for probably 1 less healer setup and maybe 1 less drainer too. I wouldn't be surprised to see a first kill following.

I'd be pretty disappointed if world first comes before EU patch tbh.

[Adastra]

Of course, this is under the assumption that there are no other phases/brick walls.

its quite a substantial nerf tbh, it should be killed this week

Wonder how much time they added inbetween adds, I'd imagine you'd be aiming for only 2 add spawns now. Opens up more ST heavy specs for mages/rogues if warriors can handle the aoe in time, or at least less than previously. I'd imagine that's a bigger plus than the 1min enrage extension. This should make the fight pretty well tuned, and that means it dies this week probably.

just my speculation ;o

It hints to me more and more of a destruction phase @ 50% a la Alsabeth.



I'm more interested to see who fights more over kill credit: Laethys or Diablo

I'd guess an additional 10 seconds. That would put the 3rd add spawn somewhere around the 3.5 minute mark. That means you need 36k ST dps on Laethys plus whatever you need for aoe.

So Voodoo was right all along. It's amazing cause I believe they would of killed it on day 1 with the recent changes.

They're all the same thing. Slowing down adds is an effective health nerf which makes enrage easier to hit as does the actual enrage extension.

The immune buff you get doesn't seem to have changed so the amount of AoE DPS you need to kill the adds has not changed. I'd be a little surprised if people were able to change their specs and still get the adds down but then again I'm usually surprised so bring on the spec changes!

Not sure what you're basing that on, probably nothing like most opinions on these forums.
