Honestly I think Herby attempting to input on this is kind of pointless. He progressed much farther in this game pre-patch than most and will not be able to non-partially comment. The boss has become harder, possibly unreasonably so. And the points being raised in this thread are relevant across the board not just for the minister. It would be really nice to have defense stats and gear really mean something.
Also at this point anyone that doesn't have blood won't have him for months. So for the most part anyone moving into these parts of HR from this point forward are at a distinct disadvantage to those who progressed pre-patch or currently possess him. Yes we will find new ways to move past the heroes. But pulling from past experience that is completely irrelevant to current conditions and derogatory towards those experiencing them is pointless and does nothing to further the discussion, tactics, or progression in the game. So Herby until you can post something relevant to the experience of players, kindly bugger off![]()

I agree and I wonder if Herby would be singing the same tune if he was stuck. It is not whining when people are stating the obvious. Yes the bosses has been buffed up and yes cianna and sharyd have been nerfed . This was explained earlier why but that does not help the players who don't have all the heros or have not been lucky to get past the bosses before the patch. I think this patch is more favoured towards the top players who were getting bored and now they have new toys to play with.
Don't get me wrong I love a challenge but the goal has to be achieviable otherwise you are just banging your head against the wall. For the record I have been one of the lucky ones to clear Lascivius before the patch but now am stuck on Veleno. But am not too bothered as I have a lot of plans to grind till I actually get somewhere with him.

i totally agree with you. Defensive talents should be much more effective.
But reducing Minister Lascivious's power is stupid idea, if it's happened, then anytime some players get stuck at heroic bosses, they come and complain ... i hve 23m power, working on Veleno, should i complain that that creature is tough ????
a child can imagine what kind of thing this game will become .

please read above how the stun from cianna does NOT land anymore on bosses as it used to, its the same thing for banishes as for heroics and a chance of of 1:30 or lower to stun with cianna wont cut it. again: we are debating here about AFTER the patch got implemented where ciannas (and possibly shayds stun) got nerfed and are now almost impossible to land.
to be honest i dont even think you know what you are talking about when you keep on going about suggesting to improve defenses, magic defense and stun rates... you totally off.
If you can't progress with leveling items and runes enough to defeat this boss without doubling your power you're in for a world of hurt coming into the lightbringer bosses.
A lot of us hit the early lightbringer at 10-15mil, and couldn't finish the sets until 35mil. (Have you doubled your power to kill 1 boss yet? we did...)
All they have done with this patch is bring that gear and power check foward a couple of heroic bosses. I don't see the issue.
Edit: We were also in our 70's level wise so short of 2 rune slots that most have now. Have you got them available to you yet?
