I agree its a DPS race, but I think strategy can be incorporated well within a boss that is a DPS race. The two systems are not exclusive to one another. I like the idea of making rage actually hard, i dislike the insta wipe (which is what it is basically), but I like the premise of a hardER rage than what we have seen with gele etc...It always has been, any boss with a hard rage timer effectively is a dps race.
Hoping OTM scraps the current mechanics and gives us a strat set up for BT....
