The Abcess Bug? (Lv65 - Last Boss)

in PvE Discussion
Hey!
I'm back from a rage hiatus... u know, priest things lol
now The Abcess is back! and something bad has been happening:
The last boss is giving more than +125k (my actual HP) of damage with a single move (I can't tell you which move is, it just swing something and slap, u ded).
- What is bad on this? Just evade!
Well, the tanker, defending, took more than 40k and the boss one-hit-killed more 4 and soon everyone was deeeead.

tl;dr
The Abcess is back for low gear levels. The last boss is buffed, like a lot? or it's a bug? tell me it's a bug, taking +125k of damage on a single hit is frustating...
(plus players blaming the healer)

    yep, every buff as possible and fighting like no tomorrow, suddenly, on a swing, 4 players down (incluiding me)

    to be fair....just because a dungeon is meant for lower geared players doesnt mean you can just braindead tank and spank through it you know.... xD
  • BijuBiju ✭✭✭
    I know exactly what you mean, but dont know what it is. Maybe its an old HM mechanic, it been so long i dont remember .

    Its near the end part of the fight i see that usually, he just swing and boom half the raid is dead, one shot.

    Actually, that's exactly what it means. You can tank and spank everything in that dungeon except that one swing with, I think, the left arm that happens when he's on low hp. From what I remember, it doesn't even look any different from the other swings that do practically no damage. It's a weird thing.

    Can confirm it's an unexpected bug. There's even lvl 65 players getting 1 shot by 2nd boss in Macallerius Catacombs by 1 of the telegraphed attacks even with +12 misery. Kinda stupid but meh it's Tera, what can we NOT expect eh?

    Its not an unexpected bug but a mechanic that simply does what it does, .-.

    Whats the mechanic? randomly hit all party members for massive damage while still doing your regular attack pattern? Do you have a bit more detail on this?

    Adding onto this, kinda seems to be a regular problem. I got a strange problem with vsnm imp, when he does the "using the bloodshards power" attack right before cage, it straight up one shots my +15 lancer through block. Checked the damage log and says I took 160k damage, while blocking. Killed a zerk in my party too and we were all kinda confused since it shouldnt be that much damage. Ran vsnm again last night and didn't get one shot by that even tho i wasnt blocking so i guess its fixed?

    I remember last patch too in sshm, a party member was telling me they were one shot by stuff that they can normally facetank dps through. Dunno whats going on but i guess this is something we gotta deal with until its fixed.

    this problem in abscess is both fairly common and insanely hilarious, running in there with full misery like, w/e time to nap through this dungeon then daddy kracker jack straight up one-shots you at full HP.... makes me giggle everytime

    Just be careful when its HP goes low(<30%), and most likely when rocks falling to ground. His 4-swing attack can 1 shot everyone.
    It is an unexpected bug because the previously returned Abscess(VM7 patch) never 1 shot people.
