Anyone else find this raid unfun?

The release brought it back for me that raids were always an annoying part of the game. It was one thing when it was the only guild event, but now.... TB and TW just seem waaay better. CG seems...

I'm OK with a new raid being a challenge. I loved that with Rancor and then AAT.
And I was expecting some difficulties and challenge. No problem not being able to beat heroic the first week/month.
It took me a while to tune my roster HAAT until I soloed it.

BUT

- The mechanics of this new raid requires a swgoh degree. (multiple bonus per character role i.e)
- Tenacity levels makes any strategy useless. Even the latest upgrades we have. (Empire, Nightsisters, Siths ... Debuffs, TM manipulation ...)
- The blue shield being given randomly is a non sense for example. It's pure RNG and requires multiple restarts. => TIME consuming. And NOT FUN at all.
- Nihilus using or not his anihilate based on its cool down, randomly. What strategy can I put together ? (again TIME consuming and restarts)
- I've finished twice 1# in T6. Besides the currency, the lack of gear is outrageous. 3 salvages for a g12 piece ? Meaning at least 10 raids to assemble a piece ? (If you are lucky to receive the same, so based on the known RNG, I bet it'll at least triple)
- And now, devs are telling me after all exposed (sarcastic) above that they are nerfing the 2 strategies the players base have developed thanks to their expertise and knowledge ? (Expose and STHan).

Seriously. It's disappointing.

A very good summary of the issues. Though I am totally OK with the STHan nerf...just wish they had caught it before release. Auto for 30m+ damage on day 1 is silly. My thoughts on that will change if they do not send out compensation with the fix, because there is a real cost in game materials, time, and potentially real money for all the folks who spent time, crystals, energy, and gear to get their STHan ready after the strategy was found.
