Yeah I was finding the 1st few days of WONY frustrating thinking all the new mechanics and ttk etc. where borked or something. But then I just took my time to learn the new npc mechanics and reminded myself of the old ones and how to combat them.

You go into heroics with PUGS and no one is shooting weak points. They just sit in cover on one spot, never moving. Then complain when they get grenaded or droned. How often do you see anyone using cover to cover? Makes you near invincible and can get you out of hairy spots on low health.

Build diversity is a bit gimped for solo players though. You either do dps or damage skillbuild. Can't really tank or heal solo buuuuut those are team roles so not really wanted in solo. But there are different setups for dps and skills builds to provide some diversity imo. The hybrid builds from TU7 was a solo player's wet dream so I can understand them complaining about builds now.

I am fortunate to play with an active group of friends in a clan who help each other gear up, so now we run heroics without any problems really well unless we get too cocky and push when we shouldn't. Having a team with semi good builds makes a world of difference to the content.
