Yea.... the community feels the same way. You're argument of gathering the 16 man is shared, BUT as well... the nuances of the fight... are scaled higher than just x2 , and the difficulty is just higher.
Here.... let's just compare apples to apples since we've both done them....
Health of an Anamoly in HM TFB in 8 man - 22k
Health of an Anamoly in HM TFB in 16 man - 87k
Health of Irregularties in HM TFB 8 man - 12978
Health of Irregularties in HM TFB 16 man - 34055
Health of Grasping Tentacles in 8 man - 167164
Health of Grasping Tentacles in 16 man - 573855
Now... im not the greatest *********** mathmetician... but for your argument of (just x2), you're a little off. More coordination rather than just send 2 ppl instead of 1 for instance is needed. More health, more time dps'ing, more damage the tanks are taking from special attacks... *********** blastahr ate a scream then a hit after it in 8 man and laughed at its damage, in 16.... not so much.
I will have no shame in saying our strat for 16 man was off, and holding us back on this fight. Congratulations on beating us, but I will have shame in saying that we've done both degree's of difficulties, and 8 man content is not meant to be as high as 16. Continue to argue me all you want...
