Anyone feel like they should have left Ra bosses intact?
The Root abyss bosses were actually quite fun before, but with these changes they just became more annoying and easy.
People both funded and unfunded could kill them with certain skill and caution, but now it's just hack'n slash until the boss is dead because they massively tinkered with their skill sets and don't do damage based on your HP anymore. They were perfect bosses, in my opinion, I can't wrap my head around on why they changed them to be easier.

I found it weird when I saw the bosses do the Chaos version attacks, it seriously threw me off because they use it very randomly unlike the actual Chaos bosses which use some attacks after a certain HP% has been dealt.
For example, Von Bon having you kill his clone, Queen flaming you to death and Vellum doing his hyper beam attack. Vellum was probably the one who ticked me off the most seeing as how he does his Hyper beam without notice (no charge up like Chaos) and from anywhere in the map unlike Chaos which does the beam from the corners of the map.
Normal Von Bon: WTH at his 1HKO attack, SO CHEAP.
Normal Pierre: The map seems to be distorted. Everything about him is normal.
Normal Queen: That burning fire deals a lot of damage to you, but it can be removed easily, and she has no HP BAR!
Normal Vellum: A lot more aggressive, but has wayyy to little HP.
At one point, I'm glad they got rid of the %HP attacks, now my High Defense and other damage reduction skills actually has a use.
[quote=Cyans]Root Abyss was perfectly fine before Unleashed. The only thing that was missing was the RA Teleport. Nexon fixed that but they also unnecessarily buffed up the bosses.[/quote]
They didn't buff them up, really. They all do pitiful damage sans the Queen with her 12k flames, not only that but their HP is rather low and they lost their 50% damage reduction, specially Vellum, he lost probably about 75% of his original HP.
If anything they just made them more annoying, except for Pierre. Pierre remained largely unchanged for some reason, only problem is he disconnects you when he changes colors.

The 12k flames were just a dumb addition, to be honest. No skill either, I just stood there for about 7mins using Gigas Waves and Wingbeats to hell and just waited until she died while I potted up the damage from the flames. Annoying and pot burning? Yes. Any kind of strategy required? No.
Didn't try RA yet.
But oh well.
