hedo exploit

[Irreflexivo]

With proper timing you can heap damage on Hedo and put him into his final phase. His mitigation self-buff was meant to train players into waiting... rewarding them with an opportunity to use powerful 'always proc' type attacks from our new weapons, etc. I don't see this as an exploit but a proper learning of Hedo's mechanics.

Accessing the zone, quest status, remapping, etc. doesn't have any relationship to Hedo's behavior, the mitigation buff period, or his "open for business" phase 2.
If I am missing something exploitative with regard to quests and zone access, please clarify.

Thanks in advance!

You could definitely add a daily quest to be able to remap to hedo directly. Therefore, those who did complete the story quests will be able to join the map as fast as those who did not complete the quest. If you are unaware of this, basically, there is a story quest that can help you join directly to the map instead of having to walk to the portal. I wouldn't mind this feature for most popular portals, Rahab as well. It could save some time from having to walk unnecessarily.
