At the same time, all my time spent fighting them has been without a single person in raid having a mythical and without using a single exploit. I don't really know if the same applies to your experiences Slip but I kinda get the feeling it doesn't. Could be wrong but I get the impression you killed them when they were slightly less fucking retarded than they are now, got your mythicals, which makes them notable more easy. Simultaneously though I'm having conflicts regarding group setups for the fights, but that's beside the point.

I also notice you failed to screenshot the part where I admitted I could be wrong, but that just from the full strategy I read, I personally thought that Druushk/Nexona without mythicals/exploits could very well be harder. And I'll say it again: I could be wrong, but just from what I read, it seems a like a much less random/retarded fight than some of the fucking irritating mobs that come before him. The most irritating part, I thought, would be the increased double attack rate, moreso than that beneficial spell proc thing, because we saw that in T7 with VLMM and he was overcome pretty quickly.

In a nutshell, Slip,

Ignoring any slip-bashing... it's the exact opposite of your expectation that makes Trak hard. Any guild that can kill trak is more than likely 1-pulling both nexona and druushk. They're pushovers once you have their strats down pat. There's not really any randomness to them short of what order you dot he clickies in. Beyond that absolutely EVERYTHING is predictable, and even then, it's not random enough to cause wipes.

Trak on the other hand loves to do random shit. Once you have him in place and your raid together alright, you're _probably_ okay. Having said that, I've seen some other random shit happen that made stuff go haywire, but yeah, any deaths to trak specifically usually ARE the direct result of random bullshit. Random possible knockbacks occuring .2 seconds after the mob is engaged throwing everyone in your raid off his platform into the lava FTW!

Nah I see what you're saying. I sorta touched on that. Once you get them down and kill them that first time, yes, they become WAAAAY easier, because once those cockblocks are out, you at least have one successful execution under you which is already a big boost, but on top of that, you have mythicals. I just get the impression that the first kills for these two, in their current state, without having killed them previously, *might* be tougher, but I won't personally know till we get to trak.

As it is now, still being cockblocked and working on downing em Think we figured out Druushk though, we're gonna change positions and I think that'll be the key.

But hey this was just my opinion based only on what I heard, if I find out differently, cool beans Looks like a more fun fight than these two PITAs though that's for sure.

... I hope I'm not wrong about that part. Lol.

No, actually, we killed druusk and Nexona after they became a lot harder and before we had a bunch of mythicals. Druusk is actually quite a bit easier now.

I just wish you would think about pulling a mob and attempting to kill it before you noob it up and talk about difficulties of mobs you have never fought and certainly have never killed!! You can also form a basis of difficulties by finding the eq2flames post that shows what WW guilds have killed what mobs...although I'm too lazy to link it atm.

He's right though, as someone else that's fought and killed all 3, you need to fight them to know their difficulties.

Druushk is a fucking joke now, without mythicals we first pulled him the day they made the changes. Nexona is usually a first pull kill now as well. When you take five pulls on Trakanon and wipe 5 times in less than 20 seconds, you will see why is he harder.
