Considering 2 Team Instinct guilds have already beaten it, I don't think it needs to be retuned. Its end game content. Other guilds will eventually be able to tackle it as they get stronger, like the HAAT.

It will get retuned. New content always does.

This is why polls are so great. I hope CG is looking at this. Despite the rampant threads protesting the raid difficulty, the majority of people like it.

Really, the only thing I think they need to change is the "intended for" classifications, because they're way off. And that's creating an image problem for the raid. We started T5 with a 65M GP guild and after three days we're not even 3/4 past phase 1. For some reason our guild leader doesn't want to abandon, so we'll likely be slugging it out for close to 20 days. Most guilds probably won't be as stubborn as us though and have already abandoned for a lower tier.

Still the "intended for" section should be corrected to what is required to do the raid in 3 - 4 days tops.

Unless the objective was to make only big guilds able to finish high tiers in a reasonable time this raid needs some balance changes.
So for now i vote on average.

At this point it's not worth the time which is needed to complete it. The rewards are simply a joke considering the difficulty. I hope they will change it in the future.

I like it a lot, however I think they went overboard on bosses health pool, on T6 an T5, just lower it a little, nothing as drastic as they did with nAAT, as that was way to much and doesn't prepare people for Heroic

The tenacity is a huge deal is directly responsible for requiring JTR to do anything useful. Everything else is fine.

Initial Results will be posted tmrw! pls vote now

I've enjoyed the strategy and theory-crafting for the new raid quite a bit. It's also nice that they added a whole bunch of tiers, rather than do a repeat of Normal/Heroic AAT. Now you can dial in your difficulty. We started on T6 and abandoned it after barely 50% of P1 was complete after 3 days, did T3 just to get a guarenteed run-through (super easy) and have now settled on T5 as our target tier. Once we can do that in under a day, we'll move up to T6.
I fully expect to see some health tweaking on T6 and heroic though, especially for P1. The protection really inflates his effective health pool.

Would change my vote if I could. The pure randomness of DN's annihilate and the ineffectiveness of Unbreakable Will has taken me to somewhere between dislike and hate.
