The Hidden Forest

To the dev team:
Very well scripted events! Took us several attempts on the T1 version to figure it out but once we did it was very easy. Everything you need to know to win is emoted perfectly.

There was a post in the locked thread about them needing to be scaled back that is incorrect. I believe that is in correct once you figure out the trick to them they are a piece of cake.

They are well done and significantly easier when you know the strategy, but the Polar Bear King himself hits a little too hard if the T1/T3 difficulties are truly supposed to be SSRA/ST difficulty level. I have to heal my full T6 SK a lot through defensive in order to survive T3 bear, yet I can tank Sleeper, or two warders at the same time without defensive with a lot less heals, he trucks a lot harder at T1/T3 difficulty than he should. Unless another part of the fight lets you never take melee damage from the bear, he's harder than any fight in those tiers.

I haven't pulled T6 difficulty yet, so I can't comment on the difficulty, but T3 was already significantly difficult for me.

They are suppose to be a little bit more difficult then their actual tier lvl.

I understand this, but the T3 bear hits closer to an Avatar in T5, which hits as hard as anything in T6.

Honestly as far as tank damage goes. The T1 version was doing more damage than anything in T4. I used a disc with over 10k AC. So I honestly dont see how a 3-4k ac tank in ssra/tov gear is going to survive that. Not to mention the amount of tank damage I was taking before I took the bears out of the equation. As for the event itself it was perfect, the emotes were spot on, maybe if I would have downloaded the installer it would have saved me 45 minutes of frustration trying different stuff to his left and right side. As for the last phase I think I need to run the T1 difficuty again to see what I did because when I actually completed the encounter it took me signifcantly less time in phase 2, then it took me the previous attempt. So I need to figure out what I did differently. Was just alternating casts between my cleric and shaman. Im interested to try it out on T3 and T6 difficulty. Though something tells me the amount of damage I took on T1, on T6 hell probably toss me around like a broken kite

If you are getting the extra bears you are doing it wrong.

Yes I know, notice I said before I took them out of the equation, as in figured out the mechanic involved in that part. It was a bit of a learning curve, I forgot to download the installer first so I didnt see the entire room. I seen his emotes, and kept doing everything I could think of on his sides, then low and behold update the installer and the missing puzzle piece is there.
I think I need to run the T1 version one more time though, I got the kill however I need to iron out my strat for the final phase, the attempt before the kill I had a bunch of minions spawn and timed out. Then when I got the kill the next attempt I think I had zero minions and I won it within a minute of it going into that phase, and the only thing I did different was being a little bit faster
