Cerastes too easy??

Iamant1

Anyone else think Cerastes boss is way too easy for a (almost) final boss?

Basicslly just throw striker, heavy and repeat 5 times, there's no skill other than dexing the sp1 which is pretty easy.

Think should have been a bit more challenge maybe?? Thoughts?

No, he was perfect. Bahamut and Scytalis were pretty much the same. Most of us are just too strong for what story content is now

It might be easy for you, but maybe not for everyone else

He's the easiest boss we've had in quite a while but I actually kinda dug that. It was more in line with the content in which he was found instead of a crazy step up from it like bosses usually are. I'm totally okay if Kabam moves away from super-duper hard bosses in Story content and instead give us them in stuff like EOP, or increase the difficulty by way of Carina's Challenges that require us to beat them in specific ways. I think that's a fair compromise that keeps Story accessible for people who maybe aren't crazy about fighting these big fights and just want to get through them, while simultaneously giving more hardcore players options to fight harder version of them/fight the same bosses but with less ideal counters.

The only thing that would suck is if a lot of time went into designing these boss fights only for them to be rather easy and then just disappear into the void without ever being seen again. I think that would be a waste of resources.

@Ercarret said it perfectly 👍

I thought it was a bit under tuned. But I'm not overly fussed about it.

I think this balance is fair. Story content shouldn’t be the resource drain it used to be back in the act 5/6 days when we had a revive farm. The only content you should be EXPECTING to revive should be abyss style/EOP style to balance out the new scarcity of revives

Story content should be accessible to everyone. Not everyone is at the same skill level, so it needs to be appropriate enough so that anyone can do it. I think all the Act 8 bosses have been decent, but I think I actually liked the Cerastes fight the most. You don’t need a specific counter, you just need to do specific things to break his armor and take him down. I also like the fact the fight wasn’t overly punishing. I hate it when they make content where every opponent has 50k attack power and one mistake means you’re instantly dead. This fight felt fair. You could make a couple mistakes without getting stomped and need to use items, but if you mess up 3-5 times, you’re probably going to die which I feel is fair for a fight that takes roughly 7-10 minutes. Overall I think the fight was very well executed.
