    Does anyone else seen second boss mechanics being changed with the last 2 updates? for example last week after the control room closes, they still smashed the electric panels, and today we noticed that even after 100 procent, we still need to carry on dealing with codes otherwise inside the boss room people instead of being damaged to the armor, they get damaged straight to the health, which means we need to carry on looking at the 3 wifis to prevent that, even after with put lava over the tank...


    if you make changes to the boss, why we are not being updated ?

    update- seems like health part was some sorta bug

    i'm not sure what you mean, i'll try the raid tonight but
    the codes+panels are for the Crucible after 100% you don't need them anymore tho, in the control room you don't take health damage only armor damage as far as i am aware,
    are you referring to the Tank in the fire pit strategy or the 2 Healers inside the control room cheese strategy
    also inside the fire room if the boss is at 5 stacks and 100 ticks you'll take direct health damage, as he creates more heat.

    yea, thats what it used to be, today we ran it for the first time, and the people inside were being damaged to the health, and we wiped cuz of that new thing that we came accross, however we done it again, and it was gone, so I assume either there was a bug, or there is some sorta change in mechanic which we are not aware of.

    You need to protect the panels for entire raid now. Even for water phase.

    Yes on the change with no communication. Power gets killed throughout. Haven't noticed any difference inside, but we only go in to start the first code and to use the water cannon. The rest is done from door A or C.

    We just use 1 in the control room now that is a healer and still do the cheese where the boss shatters the window.

    The only change that has been made is that the purple health NPCs that spawn outside the control room go directly for the power boxes. Before 8.1 they would come out, run around a bit then go for the power. Now you need to dedicate at least 1 player to patrol upstairs and kill them before they break the box.

    As for the health damage in the room, that has been happening from week 1. I do believe it occurs when you run through the lava pits on the floor. So stay away from them, by running along the metal. Also even if you don't see lava in them it might still be there. There is a visual bug where you don't always see the lava
