Remove Torment Claws from Abaddon's gate

NO ONE ELSE POST ON THIS THREAD PLEASE - Its redundant because I completed NF on protector months ago and soon realised the Claws are not an issue.

I like the rest of the mission.

But Anet, please remove the Tormet Claws from the mission, or tweak them somehow.

Purely because they remove any chance you have to stand to one side and regen, heal or ress your team members if need be.

Having to contend with the 8+ seconds between the knock down and interupt spell is agrovating enough (but I dont mind that), but to combine that with claws apearing in a place if you stand there too long is frustrating.

As the final mission, it should be atleast a little challenging. Tons of people have already beat it so it's not that big of an issue.

To take a res spell in that mission (other than a res signet) is almost suicide. However that mission can be done easy enough if you watch your aggro. I now have 4 characters (Paragon, Warrior, Necromancer, and Ranger) that have beat the mission easy. Since I was unable to find a good PUGI did it with HERO's and Henchman and got Masters for each of these characters. In each case I used a Res Sig instead of a standard Res Spell and survived.

I totally agree.

I personally say it is very challenging anyway. I dont see the need for the torment claws. They just add frustration to a decent mission.

For instance. Youve all just got a good strike into Abaddon. Your run back to the bridge. Your all down on health and one hit away from being killed.

Your stood recharging and out of no-where a claw apears and abliterates you all.

Or nearly does, and then another apears.

As much as I love a good hard mission, they need to give you time to regen or heal. All this while your contending with only an 8 second gap to rez and heal before the next knock-down spell hits.

move a bit

Torment Claw can not move and Torment Slash has low cast time for a reason.
And removing it from Gates Of Abaddon is like removing Shiro from Gates Of Madness.

just strafe while you regen its easy.

The claws dont pose any real problems, just interupt there attack (which is slow at casting) and you can easily kill them receiving no dmg.

For that reason.

Removing torment claws would make this easy mission even easier. /notsigned

i got masters on the final mission with henchies, gg

A mission that's very easy to do with hero's and henchmen should not be nerfed. I mean seriously.. you got through gates of madness and your complaining about torment claws?

With all heroes, henchies and a smack from the LB Gaze, the claws last all of 6 seconds. Masters on first try.

I chest run gates of fear. The range of that evil attack the claws have is about as thin as a pencil

That and abbadon needs to be harder. I can literally be the only healer if I have light of delivernce on my bar.

Yup, Lod got my party thru that mission, and interupts for those mean old claws. Easy

This is a really, REALLY simple mission. And anyone who is THAT low on health after fighting Abbadon needs to stop playing. Run in, hit him 'till he's not vulerable anymore, and run the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO away. One player might get smacked around by the mesmers, but he can be rezzed... simple enough. And the claws? Just kill them, a Dervish with Balthazar's Form and some high-powered attacks can flatten them.

freeked, do you just post a nerf suggestion for every mission you can't beat? Everytime I see one of your threads it's always "this is too hard omfg nerf".

Torment Claws are a joke. They can't ****ing move, and their only skill takes so long to activate that they might as well not use it. Abaddon's Gate would be much more interesting if they replaced Torment Claws with like, Torment Wurms, or something.

oh and you brought res sigs right? They give morale boosts every oh 20 seconds so you have infinite res. I can't see anyone with a full party of res sigs losing.

You know how can you be upset by the final mission right after doing Gates of Madness, I finally beat gates of madness on my third try, went in and absolute tore abaddon apart. If it weren't for the endgame items and having to replay mission to get to them I would say buff up the last mission.

The torment claws are the only semi-challenge in the mission. They do nothing if you interrupt them, and the lightbringer gaze works on them.

Perhaps we should remove Shiro from Imperial Sanctum ?
