With the big December update, the notorious Brelshaza raid also made its way into our version of Lost Ark. It is the hardest raid in the game and poses a tricky challenge for players, as long as they are allowed to participate.
What kind of raid is this? Since December 14, the December update has arrived in Lost Ark, bringing many quality of life adjustments and the new class of Summoner, as well as the new Legion Raid Brelshaza.
Known in Korea as Abrelshud, the commander of the Phantom Legion is regarded as the toughest raid in the MMORPG, and the veterans from other versions have already demanded numerous nerfs for the tough raid boss, which is divided into 6 different phases.
It not only demands nearly perfect gameplay from each individual participant but also precisely coordinated group actions and mechanical sensitivity, as well as a high understanding of Lost Ark itself.
It all sounds quite difficult, but those who still decide to challenge Brelshaza face, according to some fans, an even greater challenge – finding teammates.
Soon you will meet the Witcher in Lost Ark, and he brings no super difficult content with him, just an island of his own:
“Other players are the hardest gate”
Where do fans see the problem? On Reddit and in the forum, more and more discussions on this topic are arising. Especially DPS players are complaining and reporting that they sometimes had to search for over 5 hours for a group willing to take them into the raid.
Because some requirements for teammates are set extremely high by the groups. And it doesn’t stop at the gear score. In addition to perfect engravings and jewels, complete set bonuses at level 2 are also expected.
These are only available if you have farmed the previous raid boss long enough. Even if you have all of that, it is still dependent on luck. If you play a too unpopular class, you have poor chances.
Your chances are equally poor if you play a too popular class because there are simply too many people who are better than you. Oh, and of course, you should already have the achievement of having killed the boss once to get into the popular re-clear groups. Therefore, many fans without a fixed raid group are currently frustrated.
The lack of support classes is a problem
What are people saying? Of course, we also want to take this opportunity to let the fans of Lost Ark have their say:
- Cursedwithboredom says (via reddit): “We also reject people because of their outfits. If you can’t manage to coordinate your outfit, you won’t have coordination in a raid mechanic either.”
- H4LF4D writes (via reddit): “Lost Ark is so far the MMO that welcomes me the least of all. The lack of so many supports doesn’t help as long as I don’t play support myself, but I just don’t like Bard and Paladin.”
- Ok-Marionberry says (via reddit): “Other players are the hardest gate [in Brelshaza]”
Have you fought against Brelshaza yourself? Or did you try and couldn’t find a group? Do you recognize this problem from other MMORPGs, and is it really worse in Lost Ark? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO.
