IOD Bams not dropping healing or mana motes

edited July 2016 in TERA PC - General Discussion
just did 20 x 3 BAMS not a single healing or mana mote dropped. It was done in party with another. Is this the usual party experience?

Keen motes still dropped.

    lol they dropping like candy for me

    Yes, in a party the motes don't drop. Only solo clears drop 'em for added support : )
  • JerzyJerzy ✭✭
    They only drop when you're not in a party.

    more anti-party devices. They really really really don't want you to do this in party do they.

    they want you to bring a mystic with your brawler :3

    ahuehue ;P
    I've heard healers do them very fast
  • LiquorCandyLiquorCandy ✭
    despite having been in a party many times, this is the first time I've noticed.

    The motes are to help people that are soloing. If you have two or more people then theoretically you wouldn't need the assistance since you have a 2nd/3rd/4th person already helping.

    Yep. In a group you have to kill more of them and you have less support from mote drops while doing it. IoD punishes groups every step of the way unless the group composition consists of, like, a tank and a dps or a mystic and a dps to offset the godawful crit resist these things have. Anything more than two members and you find yourself killing just ... so many BAMs and it's not even worth it.

    It is because it was stated from the beginning that IoD was meant for solo. Who knows if they will further gimp it by completely disallowing completion if done as a party. I don't like it. Bams are supposed to be party content. While I understand why there's solo content at all in a game that's supposed to be about partying (as in, the whole "your friends are not online with you all the time"), not sure what's the deal with making solo content using party designed monsters.

    they aint tough enough to be designed for groups, imho. With revamps that might even become true for all classes..
    That said, whats kill iod is that you can't be in party at all without ruining it, like must bother with unecessary extra kills if u wanna do them while waiting for im or lfg with a friend. Such a bummer for an mmo.

    Thing is, they reduced the overall damage a bam can do compared to old Tera, but left most of the other stuff, like frontal crit restsis, move and turn speeds, making them harder to kill by most players of certain classes, like zerkers, sorcs and archers (they can still be killed proficiently by those classes, but a player has to move far away from his dps comfort zone to be able to adapt). And I believe that's why many people complain about them and want them doable as a party. But on the other side, being made party-able, we'd be risking another episode of TAR.
