Okay, me and a few friends just tried the Dimensional Rift place.
Bishop
WC
SE
Tyrant
Destroyer
We did the 70+ class rift. We spawned in got aggroed with like 10 mobs at 75+. We survived and then it was pretty easy. We then got ported to the next room. (every 10 minutes your ported to a new room) so after 5 rooms the Rift ported us out and the thing was over.
We had a lot of fun and decided to have another go. The exp was awesome and it was a lot of fun GG NCSoft.
HOWEVER!!
2nd attempt didn't go as well. We finished the first room and the second one was really easy so we decided to use our chance card to change rooms instantly. We went back to the first and spent 10minutes in there, then we got ported.
This is where it becomes confusing.. because we were standing toe-to-toe with a Raid Boss. 5 people.
It didn't have Raid Boss over its head, but.. after i attacked it :( i noticed it had the raid boss stats inside its hp bar.
My Question is, how can a party of 5 kill a raid boss? It only hit me for 500-600 damage but it was hella quick. The mob was blue and his HP wasn't moving he was regening too fast.
Can a member of NCSoft shed some light on this?
Is it a real raid boss, or a semi-raid boss, or something? Can we get more than 1 party in there? From what i gather this is the same as the Festival Event for the Seven Signs. So i assume only 1 party can enter at any given time.
I haven't done it on live server yet. We did do it on PTS a few times.
We had a full party with a tank 2 healers and the rest nukers it wasnt to bad we even killed the raid boss at the end. It definatley isnt a normal raid boss because one group of nukers took him out. But a full party should be able to handle it.
>>Is it a real raid boss, or a semi-raid boss, or something?
Is not real RB since it's aggro and 5 nukers can take it out if anything can hold aggro. Even a BD can hold aggro, if has enough mana.

A good party is tank, 5 nukers (SH/Necros work the best w/ CDL), bd, SE, Prophet. Make sure you have enough mana for the RB. On PTS we failed to kill him because we were mana dry... (around half hp).
(Use zerk on the RB)
yep yep I was with stink, wasn't too bad, once we knew it was going to be there. We were in the 60s one, half our party was over 60 the rest below. Had an SE 54, Bishop 51, Prophet 54, Warlock 53 (stink post before), BD 62, SH 64, SWS 64, SR 64 and me OL at 62.
It was a pretty long fight, almost the full 10 minutes I would say, and we came close to not having enough MP for healing, but we managed to squeak it out. For us it dropped a blue wolf robe bottoms.
So I don't know, I guess its like a mini-raid boss :)
