Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

But Blade basically has a reliable way to reverse rock stacks without attacking at all: just parry him and you'll drop his stacks a bit, giving you some room to attack. If necessary you can just parry him over and over and essentially erase his rock stacks. That level of control over the fight basically neuters Thing unless he's on some crazy nodes. The fact that Parry inflicts bleed 100% of the time makes this a reliable tactic.
It could also be a longish fight since Blade loses his bleed damage against Thing so that's not always the best choice in a timed fight like Alliance War. But I've beaten Thing bosses with Blade without timing out, so its not impossible. But in any unclocked fight I think Blade gives the best control over rock stacks and makes the overall fight a lot easier.
Amusingly, the AI is configured to hold block when the power gain would be active even if it is not active. So if you Quake Mordo and concussion him the power gain buff won't activate, but Mordo will still just stand there and hold block as if he was gaining power.
It is hilarious, and almost unfair.
Edit: forgot I freaking hate Annihilus
