Patch 6.85: Expert Mode Raids

Also, just to be clear, if you do the mechanic correctly everyone in the whole group will take less damage, it’s not a situation where one person will be saved or take less damage in particular.

So I am confused on the above statement.

@Justin

Yes it does. Keeping in mind that the damage of that attack will vary widely because that is the mechanic, but it does not crit.

@Riley_D

On Raid Boss 3 specifically, I looked at the code and it cannot crit on the initial “jump” attack; since it’s technically an area attack (even though there is no red indicator) it works the same. However, as I said based on the mechanic itself, the damage will vary per person.

Before you said the damage will vary widely and even per person and now you are saying everyone will always take less damage equally because 1 person shouldn’t just die.

I’m guessing you mean every person has do the “mechanic” or they die because:

We’ve had everyone live.
We’ve had just mages die.
We’ve had mages who are undergeared live and the geared one die.

Or do you mean that it’s a group effort and if we don’t mitigate enough damage then Rangers/Musketeers survive will like 10-30% HP and Mages Die because they have less armour/health?
