Something different about Abaddon's Gate Mission

I tired this again after getting Masters with my Dervish when NF first hit and didn't have any issues.

This time I am at it with my Warrior and am having problems. Everything seems to go fine until the second or third round then I get murdered by stinking Torment Arm things spawning one after the other...

I don't remember there being that many claws the first time thru, or maybe I just got lucky.

Any one else notice this?

I think that they spawn if anyone stays still for X seconds.

Maybe the first time through no-one happend to stay still.

I first beat this mission a few weeks ago and just within the past few days I went back and redid it.

I thought maybe I was just not remembering correctly, but It did seem to me that there were many more Torment Arms this time through.

It's random.

In one run, I had up to 4 of them spawn right one after another after, and that happened at least 3 times in a mission.

Other time, there was one single claw that spawned during the entire mission, and even that one was on top, where it never hurt anyone.

I usually have at least two and sometimes three spawn in a row- it's annoying, but it's nothing new.

Just kill the monoliths fasts enough and stay on the move, and they will never spawn.

Yeah defintitely always got a lot more later on. They killed my on my first try. On my second try I made to pay primary attention to claw and devote myself to flag management. By the third damage rep I needed to retreat about 3 or 4 times and then kill them. I still made expert but they stack up about 3 or 4 claw pops at that point so you gotta stay alert and retreat when they pop.

I finished the game two weeks after release and so if something was different it was really early.

I noticed this aswell. Got almost no Torment Claws spawns with real ppl, but when trying with hech/heroes they spawned like mad. I were even killing way faster with the hench.

I did this mission with 5 characters , and I didn't have any issues, "BUT" just a few days ago , I tried again with my warrior [because I didn't use the book of secrets the first time] and .... MAN.... exactly what lipp74 said: Torment Arm things spawning one after the other NON-stopping !!!! . Is like lipp74 can read mi mind ^_^ , this seems only to be with a warrior , because the same day i tried with my necro and my monk, and everything was normal as always[just a few Toment Arms], but with my warrior I cannot do it anymore... lol

I did the mission a few days ago with my warrior and didn't have a problem. First time i got expert so i went in again (this time knowing better what to do) and got masters. I did notice that on my second run, because i did it much faster i got very few claw spawns but the first time i got several.

The claw spawns do seem to be related to how long you stand around for.

The claw spawns do seem to be related to how long you stand around for. i agree, if ur teammates arent moving claws start spawning in HUGE numbers but as long as nobody's staying still for longer than few sec u'll have to fight no more than 3-4 claws during the whole mis...
