I am 608 GS
Running regular Tempest
Several runs now, I have food, bane weapon etc
Groups have been great, no issues until snake boss, then we just wipe
Watched videos, we stand behind boss, Tank on boss, we hit orbs, we kill adds but the fight just goes on and on and on to the point of boredom.
The best run so far was 30% damage left on boss.
Why is the Snake boss so much harder than other bosses?
The big Tree boss was no issue, the Female assasin boss was no issue but the Snake boss just crazy.
Its a very strategy heavy fight, but not hard once you figure it out. There is a slight element of luck to it, you can be caught trying to get to safety when the circles spawn and get a fire DoT on you, which is permanent and stacks so will add stress to the healer.
Honestly I really enjoy that fight, the strategy and needing to be situationally aware makes it really fun for me, reminds me of old school raid bosses in EQ2.
