On the flipside, I think it's really good to force us to wear certain gears on a map. It normalizes the power curve, but I'll tell you now there's still some op players out there that can power through this map. I've always been a farmer at heart, but I've never farmed with the best gears even to this day. You pretty much have to have a kraken set to farm anything effectively, and this poison map as long as there's two people, if you die, just use 5ankh revive and power the boss down with kraken armor proc for 5 seconds.
What angers me is the hedo map with players asking only for players who can do the second phase bypass. Even players with a kraken set are excluded as they don't even scratch the surface. You essentially utilize your kraken set as a proc set and then swap in the starbeast pieces under proc to do any significant damage. Not everyone can afford one set, nevermind 2 sets. This is exclusion farming at its best and I refuse to participate. If it were up to me, you shouldn't be able to swap sets if you're under proc much like how you can't change pets if you use the AA. Much like how multiple weapons proc stacking got nerfed, I think the time has come where set swapping under proc needs to be addressed.
