I hope there isn't a melee Relic. Why? Because that will become the standard and then raids, or at least Raid boss fights, will become less and less unique. If there's a relic, the boss fight'll be one of these three formulas: -Shootshootshoot to weaken, relic to damage. Repeat. -Relic to weaken, shootshootshoot to damage. Repeat. -Shootshootshoot to damage, relic for big damage. (This will probably be a tanky boss) I just don't want us to always have to turn to a mystical melee weapon that is conveniently the only thing that can wound the boss. Why not take a tactical espionage spin on HoW's raid? This is [speculated to be] about a political coup between the Queen and the House of Wolves, not dark space gods or dark time gods. If there is a MacGuffin, why can't it be something that must be activated/hacked into for a passive purpose while we fight the boss, like a detonator or massive artillery installation? I for one would love to see Guardians fighting not to kill the boss, but to slow it down enough so that some hacked/activated super weapon can finish the job. Like, they can't even damage the thing, and the raid climax is all about keeping mobs off the weapon, maintaining the weapon, and activating traps and such to slow the advance of the boss. This would be super detail oriented and leave little room for screw ups. Mess up the super weapon activation/maintenance, it blows up in your face and wipes the team. Let a sneaky mob get by and mess with the weapon? Wipe. Can't stop the boss? Well, you're already dead by then, buuuut WIPE. If the is no "ultimate weapon," I'm still partial to seeing a raid utilize trap activation, VIP protection, and sneaking around in the boss fight. What do you think? [spoiler]MacGuffin definition, if you didn't get it: a convenient plot device that had no or very little introduction during the main part of the story. This thing is sought after by the protagonist, and/or is used to aid in their quest. Includes things like magical artifacts, secret characters/abilities, or special knowledge.[/spoiler]
