Just.. Wow!

That mercenary quest in Cav eq is some next level bs. Who thought mixing unstoppable, stun immunity and making re-parry a necessary skill for 6 paths of monthly eq was a good thing? Next time how about we make shallow intercepts, Ghosting or Quaking a requirement?
The problem wasn't just the reparry requirement but tweaking the ai so it does heavy-medium 99% of the time. I did incursions, arena, aq and other cav eq quests yet only in that very specific quest does the ai do that making it impossible to reparry.
Here's how you fix it:-
- Each time #Mercenary attackers parry an attack, they place a passive bleed on the defender for x seconds.
- Every 6 seconds the defender becomes stun immune, this does not trigger if they are suffering from a bleed effect.
- Whenever the defender is inflicted with a bleed effect, #Mercenary attacker's gain a cross-fight charge.

This retains the skill aspect without forcing you to re-parry. And please, undo whatever it is you guys did it the ai.

Yeah I’m doing it now. Gwenpool makes it a little easier

Solution.: Ignore nodes and use a tema you would regularly use for bleeds and dealing with unstoppable

Fury might blitz that map

Yeah hating the quest for the first time in years, I just want to not even complete it but im so addicted to the bare minimum rewards i wont be able to bring myself to rebel. The effort wont be worth the rewards at all, just a slap on the face for a celebration month and on top of all the problems.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of the changes. No real interest in doing it this month. I'll just focus on epic n lower. Save my revives for exploring act 7. Cheers!

AI is learning. I don't think they will change it or accept that they have done anything to it.

The AI is learning but it’s not the AI that’s the problem.
It’s the bs nodes they slap on to make the AI impossible to deal with, making the node bonuses / utility barely attainable.

Yeah but I was commenting on his last sentence.

I'm doing this section now and it is a horror show. Firstly is tough to reparry when even your standard parry fails. Secondly the AI is now side stepping my attacks and counter attacking. Thirdly I'm experiencing something where my champions become rooted to the spot. All I can say is that this month's EQ is a massive fail

Don't recommend Reparry at all really. Takes too much AI cooperation. Just bait heavies and punish specials using bleed champs (if they are sustainable, or tagged even better but not necessary). Also can just Parry using Apoc or Guidance pre-fight on select fights (according to the node it should not work, but it does).

Horseman Wolverine is insane for it if you have him, but if not any bleed champ can work. R1 HM put in some work as well for me. Had Nick and Claire on the team, but didn't need them.

That works but I like getting the cross-fight charges so I can blitz the boss. It's the best part of this month's Cav

I don't think it's learning so much as a very deliberate change that only happens in one specific quest.
