Boss Feedback
People may have noticed that some of the boss behavior changed in the new universe - namely Copper, Anaconda, Bana Queen and Guardian of the Lyceum. I'm looking for feedback on these encounters and ideas for fine tuning these along with other bosses to receive updated boss scripts in the future.
Disclaimer: some of the damage and shields might be out of whack because the new boss encounters were written before their gear was rebalanced.

Re: Boss Feedback
One thing me and willy noticed is that when fighting marco theres no way to protect ur drones as his lasers seemed to jump from willys rhino and some how hit his drones making them easy picking. Pretty sure this isnt meant to happen as he was using his non 4d lasers?

Pretty sure this isnt meant to happen as he was using his non 4d lasers? No, I think that was meant to be. His weapons seem to be super versions of the Heavy Laser, which jumps like a chain trans too.

Re: Boss Feedback
Marco's lasers have a jump effect, meaning don't let targets get in front of Marco while something is being attacked while fighting him or you'll all get hit

Grim Reaver. Each can do 30k a shot and they can spawn within 2 galaxies away from each other. They also seem to escort the other AI.

Re: Boss Feedback
Has anyone tried fighting Vigilante yet? I am guessing he will be like a nerfed DT, doing almost no damage but tough to get close to, since admins ruined all phys weapons, including vigilante catas. I assume this is what he uses, since they share his name, as well as being built with his commod and BP. He is probably severely underpowered atm, but really annoying, kind of like fighting a forgone augged for shield regen and tractor strength.

We had no shield monk, but Ives had a charge drone along. My currently overpowered missiles may have had something to do with it.

Re: Boss Feedback
not specifically named ubers - but as others spoke about them:
Vigilante: Cause of the increased reaction time of most AIs I can hit him with my Seer (from his back) without getting hit myself - he just shoots his catas and knocks himself back without a chance hitting me at all and afterwards finds no time to hit me with his lasers. I must shoot him from the side to make him use his lasers - in that case he one shots me. Ofc I can't dent him at all with my Seer.
Grim: Does do ~15k dam with his ethereal lasers on me (must be ~ 35k - 40k dam per shot cause of my resists). His turn rate and reaction time is much lower this uni. Didn't try to get hit by his main lasers (I guess they'll blow me to bits).
Marco: Slow. In every means. Ofc Can't break him - but he didn't shoot me at all - that was much different last uni.
Auras of Marco and Vigi: They're really strong now - discharged 16k shield bank in less than 4 secs (3 shield ticks). Even the Omega Battlestations didn't seem to have such a strong aura last uni (can't be too sure as tested with different setups last uni/this uni) that reminds me more of Rhino (last uni).

Re: Boss Feedback
Marco is not that clumsy he can turn adequately
However he is extremely difficult for SDs in Ds's as you have to get so close. That jumping laser of his is makes drones die like flies too
Since he is in my galaxy, I have seen several groups attempt him, none have suceeded. All of them would have last uni.
Way over-powered atm

I have to disagree, I had no problem staying behind him in my DS, while hitting him with an excom, and I don't have my Z+ on yet

Re: Boss Feedback
Mad Scientist is extremely overpowere compared to what he was last uni. Our group of about 8 players couldn't dent him and one minute into the fight our shield monkey was at half bank already, so we had to retreat.
He has insane regeneration.
