demolition deathmatch

So, the Brute Abombinator. He exists. “Are there even chimeras in America?” asked newbie.

(Also newbie: “I can’t believe my HONEST QUESTION about the ECOSYSTEM of the country I LIVE IN is being reposted in BAD FAITH.”)

(I can’t believe newbie is accusing me of reposting things in bad faith. Have another newbie quote: “I wish I had HGR text-to-speech. I’d have it berate me. wait what”)

Anyway, haven’t had much to say about this fight, but Demolition Deathmatch is neat. People drop seeds that fire eight-way vines across the screen—two seeds at a time, in four waves. Also, certain people are tethered to certain walls and can’t move too far without taking heavy damage. We held International Geometry Symposium 2025 to figure out positions for dropping the seeds without hitting the party. Eventually HGR came up with a strat. It’s a very cool strat because I have my own special job. All the other dps have their own positioning northwest (boss relative), but I take the southeast tether, so I’m by myself and have unique odd wave/even wave positions.

We’re at enrage prog. We had a meme 40+% enrage. Since then, we’ve gotten 18%, 12%, and 11.5%. Still nothing sub-10. Despite that, I was hoping today would be the clear, but instead we came down with a bad case of degenerative pull disease and ended 20 minutes early. Slightly nostalgic for Sugar Riot having no issues with enrage (since the adds were the dps check for the entire fight). On the other hand, Tiro pointed out we’ve had half the pulls on Brute Abombinator as we did on Sugar Riot.
