Minarya was correct in their statement as to why this issue will persist and why Shais should simply grind elsewhere rather than risk their crystals making half of every other classes' loot.

It's an obvious issue but pa doesn't care. They hate the class. They could at least allow back attacks to register on downed enemies. 

yes pls, the new spots feel painfull on Shai. I have the required stats for it, but the 30s buff time is sometimes not even enough to kill all mobs (depending on how they stand). Meanwhile other classes with a lot downattack just 3 skill the entire group. 

It also makes the spot way more dangerouse cause you have to deal with mobs that stand up and attack you before they are killed. And when the Horsedude spawns you are even more F***ed cause now the other spawn again and you cant kill them even less without the buff.

I tested this spot and it is my firm belief that if the mobs are able to stand a non forgettable amount of pulls then you do not have enough damage for this spot. Watching other classes grind here with less ap is just unfortunate for the Shai mains. However if you can get the gear then the spot is some fun. I'm afraid of continuing to the 320 ap spot given I barely manage the conditions for safely grinding the 310 spot on a 320k Shai. 

just add downattack on 1 2 3 and we should be fine as shai mains ^^

I'm still waiting for the announcement:
