Although year 2 strikes have cool mechanics, year 1 strikes are just so.... Nostalgic Remember soloing Xyor to get your thorn at level 25? After using a blue shotgun to get void kills Remember playing Devil's Lair during beta and killing the Tank after 30 min, and being like "What!?! I'm not done yet? Remember going on top of Valus's Roof? Sitting on top of the nexus cave area with an icebreaker? Going under the archon priest's platform? Fearing those horrible omnigul screams Stunlocking the archon priest with black hammer or just spamming 3x gjallarhorn at him? I know i remember :)

Edited by shirley timple: 1/19/2016 6:50:21 PMI like year 2 strikes for the fact that they are new and this game needed the content. I don't however understand why they left so many year 1 strikes behind. An expansion should do just that, expand the game, not shrink it
-
I just don't like psion flayers cuz three of coins useless.
-
Add psion flayers to year 2 list m8
-
Alak Hul is my fav strike of all time but we need all the year 1 strikes in the heroic playlist
-
Taniks darkblade and sword bros are cool
-
Year 1 by a long shot
-
Y2 strikes are just designed better, but I still like the Y1 strikes better. Especially omnigul. My favorite strike hands down
-
-
Y2 strikes are better, but y1 strikes dont get old
-
y1 strikes will always be the best
-
Okay. This convinces me that it's purely nostalgia at play, here. Year 1 strikes were even more repetitive than Year 2 strikes, and all featured slow-moving, high-damage, instakill-melee bosses. We used to complain to no end about it. And now that we have strikes that have some variety in mechanics, we say that the old strikes are better? Idiots.
-
Yes. They should all be available in the playlists, too. And not just the Legacy playlist. All of them.
-
Yeah, year1 definitely. Hate -blam!-ing Fallen Saber. The only year two strike I like is Sunless Cell. Wish they'd bring back Phogoth, Archon and Nexus into rotation
-
Both. They all have their good points and it's too bad the old ones were left out of heroic rotation.
-
I like Y2 for the boss encounter.
-
y1 hands down.
