Old vs New valiant EQ?
Do you prefer the original valiant EQ format or the new one?
Personally, I am on the side of the old one. The new one is really awkward to plan in my opinion. The old one was just: Pick 15(?) champs of x class, look at the path and decide which problem fights (based on the node) you’d need to take a specific champ of said class in for.
The new one, you need to look at 4 different champion swap nodes to see which classes are used where, need 3 counters for each boss, need to look at the node and again plan (twice in the case of the last 3 quests) which champs to use based on problem fights.
Also (synergies aside) for some reason the quest takes 3 people in and only uses one before the boss then you have to swap 3 in at the start, so usually you have to bring in someone you aren’t going to use at all. If you’re planning to just solo everything, you do this for the rest of the quest as well (2 fights then swap then boss - which brings in 2 redundant chars for each boss as well).
Even though it was slightly longer, I much preferred the simplicity of the older format. However - I will say the relic requirements in some of the quests was not great.
Am I alone on this?
