I don’t know man. For someone who [seems] very well geared. He doesn’t move/behave like a skilled player though. At least not in the HG video, he’s just running into the fray.
EDIT: No tactical retreat, no nothing, just standing there and face-tanking while attempting to DPS. Which is very reminiscent of how we do it now with our current system. Maybe he hasn’t adjusted away from the 1 incoming dmg playstyle. He had 15K HP (at the crucial moment) and he could’ve kept replenishing it, he could’ve moved away a bit, could’ve prioritize killing the normal mobs (which he clears quickly), but instead he really wanted to down that Elite which allowed the normals to burst him down.
Just ignoring his potion when it’s on CD (I added a small correction to my earlier comment):
I get your points though. This particular player just doesn’t seem like a good [all-encompassing] example to base the success or failure of the [rebalance patch]. Need to see more from other people. But that’s just me.
