Ok edited ridiculous. Bad spelling habit for me on that word.
So I know this was a but of a rant but we have several in our T7 guild at top numbers and most of them reported a much higher degree of AI difficulty today. We are past the Armor update thing. This is just today. I am facing the same teams I was yesterday and it's just strange to me that suddenly the AI is just going crazy with seemingly multiple extra attacks all over the place. I'm running a mostly rebel scoundrel team with the same speed and critical damage mods. The dual taunt RG and STH, Rey, QGJ Dooku, GS teams have been a breeze with G11 maxed Lando Maxed G11 STH, Phasma, EE etc. Today it was like Kill Switch Engage. Lost 9 of 10 from what looked like total bump in AI TM. I'm totally fine with a smarter AI, but when I'm running speed mods just the same, watching Rey go twice without assist calls ... meaning double specials before I get a turn, it's well, ridiculous.
I honestly wondered if they were implementing new Tank AAT raid back end mechanics that had an effect on the front end play. When my Chirpa started acting up in game, I thought new bugs were unintentionally being put in play.
