Prior to this DLC running missions had gotten to the point of being uneventful; and yes even heroics. In so small part do to the fact everyone could achieve a GOD status build.

So the change to enemies and gear, although jarring, has created almost a new challenge. Some of the new bosses take some thinking to defeat (I am still an all skill build guy so squishier than most) and although some of the final battles were borderline cheesy set ups they still were interesting fights.

I will say as a skill build I find myself using far more of my skills depending on the situation than I have done for a long time. Even the pulse comes in handy, so I switch on the fly quite often. No more seeker/hive standard for me.

It also seems some weapons have become more useful (shotguns) at least to me.

So I have taken this DLC for what it offers and so far it will give me my moneys worth.
