The new raids are a lot of fun to heal! I'm pleasantly surprised.

Yeah same, and I love how the announcer reacts to what is actually happening. And in particular fights #2 and #4 are super well done visually, too.

Man, the new raid's quite fun as a healer. Can't wait to see savage!

Just done the first two fights, and they've both been amazing.

Especially the second one has strong Persona 5 Strikers Alice vibes. Music is not quite as good, but up there. :D

Monk got a bunch of tweaks, huh?

Looks like (after a cursory look) that they're handing out buffs left and right, and trying to really reward using the Fury stacks at the proper time, and disincentivizing any waste. So, definitely stricter on the rotation (which is now like 36 steps long to loop), but with more damage for those who can actually nail them 100% of the time and adjust properly after even- and odd-minute burst windows.
