Especially since Primordus has managed to filter the death and plant magic to convert it into fire and destruction magic. It would be a bit weird to me, for Primordus to have Fury/Crystal magic, but no visible show of this in the destroyers. One would expect burning crystals or something, I'd imagine. What else is interesting too, that I didn’t quite think about is the fact that we have domains in play right now, possibly with Crystal and Fury, that may not even be accessible to the other dragons. So far the other magic spheres, death, plant, mind etc. Have all been used from dead dragons. Aurene took over from Kralkatorrik, so she would for the most part be controlling those domains and potentially may not allow the other dragons to even use those abilities. So you could be correct that this magic from Kralkatorrik could be excessive magic from the other domains from the deceased dragons, until other wise stated by Anet. For example there may be an issue with Jormag or Primordus to even use the Crystal domain for minions because there may conflict with allowing either Aurene knowledge or some level of control with minions created with that domain, ie crystal.

Best way to see would be if there's spoken dialogue in-game, but I would expect it'd be pronounced "bjora" that way, since ANet devs aren't as focused on non-English pronunciation as [they once were](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Savage_Pride_of_the_Jotun). > > > @"Valandil Dragonhart.2371" said: > > and Jora hadn't yet established her legend; the most influencial thing she did in EotN, was kill her corrupted brother, Svanir. Her legend's strength grew long after GW1 was done. > > And Bjora Marches was named such before Jora killed her brother. However, Bjora Marches is where Jora's homestead was located (which is where Jora's Keep was built). So there *is* a curious relation presented despite Jora's lack-of-legend in GW1. Jora could have been named after the marches, I suppose.

I’ll take a look some of those old story missions because it seems the frozen ice models appear different then the ones that appear before more of navy blue then light blue. This feedback loop is also making the destroyers more rabid. So if the feedback loop isn’t a new ability, possibly demonstrating the destruction/ conflagration, the rabid part may be new. Taimi did say that this ability has been amplified by Kralkatorrik’s magic, so clearly Primordus has obtained something from Kralkatorrik. Taimi makes a bunch of comments as well as Jhavi and Marjory. Taimi: Almost had it! : So did we. Braham Eirsson: The arena. It's headed over there. Taimi: How do you—that doesn't even make any sense: the portal's over here. Taimi: Destroyers definitely do not have reason... New algorithm's almost locked on. Hold just a sec Jhavi Jorasdottir: I assumed it was to draw us away from the gates of Lion's Arch. But that doesn't make any sense. Jhavi Jorasdottir: They tried hitting those first, to draw us away from the settlement. Jory was the only one who saw it. Jhavi Jorasdottir: Maybe Primordus just thrives on chaos. A settlement of defenseless villagers would be a prime target. Marjory Delaqua: You don't have to be a killer Krytan sleuth to see this settlement is a more attractive target than Lion's Arch. Marjory Delaqua: Primordus causes destruction. It's his MO. No better way to do that than set fire to the most vulnerable. Taimi: That link we discovered between the destroyers and Primordus? A feedback loop, amplified by Kralk's death. Gorrik: Destroyers burn more, Primordus gets stronger, destroyers get more rabid. The effect is exponential. Maybe Primordus obtained a bit of the fury magic from Kralkatorrik, which is causing the rabid side of the destroyers.

> @"draxynnic.3719" said: > To be fair, "fire and conflagration" is basically saying "fire and bigger fire", so I don't think it's exactly a retcon that Primordus has a second domain rather than just having fire and more fire. Destruction was one of the common speculations as to what Primordus' second domain might be. You could argue that conflagration is just another word for destruction as well.

Jormag's blood. > > In Drizzlewood, specifically the story of episode 4, it's established that the glaciers that moved back were formed out of Jormag's blood, and that as such they held a high quantity of magic - magic Jormag was pulling back into themself to hasten its awakening. This form of corrupted ice, dubbed by ANet devs as "Torment Ice" (due to being retextured versions of the rocks made for the Mouth of Torment in The Desolation) is not like the typical and easier-to-destroy shimmering black-and-blue ice we saw through the core game and Bitterfrost, but is instead made from Jormag's blood. Much like the Sanguinary Blade. > > Because of that, it's not just more potent in corrupting, it's overall stronger in Jormag's magic because it's made from a higher quantity of said magic. In the same way that Dragonsblood Spears made from Kralkatorrik's crystallized blood were far superior to those made from Branded crystallized blood. > > This would make it harder (or outright impossible) for destroyers to damage. Primordus, however, should have an easier time of it - same with something made out of a higher quantity of Primordus magic than the current destroyers at least. > > When the maps were found by that_shaman, I was a bit confused as to why they were using this corrupted ice rather than the original corrupted ice if it was just "Jormag's corruption", but if the intent was "higher concentration of Jormag's magic", then it makes sense to use this, the highest concentration there could be. Couple things; both dragons clearly got a magic boost from Kralkatorrik, this is a fact, no disputing this. I guess the question is, what did each dragon get? Jormag clearly got a bit of Balthazar’s magic from Kralkatorrik, as he is able to mist travel. Is it that possibility that Primordus acquired, the Crystal and Fury aspect then, with the new feedback loop. This seems to be a new thing, never came up in core or Season 3, however is now a thing in IBS, with Taimi advising that the ability has amplified by Kralkatorrik’s death. The loop itself does seem to have characteristics of Crystal magic, with the destroyers going increasingly rabid and out of control could be an aspect of Fury magic.

> @"Randulf.7614" said: > Can someone clarify a possible misunderstanding of mine. I believe it is stated that Jormag's ice can't be melted by Primordus' fire in one of the DRMs and freezing people is helping to preserve/protect them. Maybe I misheard that bit of diaolgue completely, but if that's true, how can that work if Jormag is weak to Primordus? Yeah it was from the Lake Doric DRM: Ryland Steelcatcher: Destroyers can't burn Jormag's Frozen. This is how we destroy Primordus. Get your priorities in order. Crecia Stoneglow: What's wrong with you? These aren't fighters, they're farmers. You're cutting down innocent people! Ryland Steelcatcher: They're not dead. One day, long after you've lived and died, they'll thaw. And I'll be there to lead them. Ryland Steelcatcher: Until then, their sacrifice will help unchain Jormag. Welcome to the new world. So... yeah your right, it doesn’t make a lot of sense unless, this is a new ability that Jormag has acquired from Kralkatorrik as he was also able to encase people in crystal. If this a combined ice and crystal, making it resistant to the fire magic, then it would make sense why Primordus can’t burn it.

> @"Fueki.4753" said: > > @"Sajuuk Khar.1509" said: > > That's not really how the magic absorption works. Kralk didn't get Zhaitan's weakness of overly specialized minions, or Mordremoth's weakness of mind. > Kralkatorrik didn't use mind magic or overly specialized minions, so there is way of knowing now, whether he might have had these weaknesses, if he had used them. > However, the downside I mentioned is an inherent part of the minion resonance magic that has been confirmed to be used by both Jormag and Primordus. > Kralkatorrik did have the mind domain though. PA Announcer: Imagine! Communications technology enhanced by the unique hive-mind abilities of Kralkatorrik's minions. Taimi: What? Their hive mind? Taimi: I wonder if that ability is something Kralkatorrik absorbed after Mordremoth's death. Some piece of its magical nature. The resonance weakness that Crystal dragon had, was a weakness only to Kralkatorrik. Primordus appears to have taken a trait of Crystal magic domain and twisted it to his benefit.

Currently we have two pieces of information from Taimi regarding Primordus: First DRM: Taimi: Incredible. The destroyers are all linked—their energy signatures read as Primordus whenever they attacked. Taimi: I wonder if their connection to him strengthens when they burn...? Then in the council chamber: Taimi: That link we discovered between the destroyers and Primordus? A feedback loop, amplified by Kralk's death. Gorrik: Destroyers burn more, Primordus gets stronger, destroyers get more rabid. The effect is exponential. Not sure if this is a trait of the Fury or Crystal domain, though, I do recall this from Kesho regarding Kralkatorrik and his branded regarding their weakness: Josso Essher: Its creations share a fundamental resonance that connects them back to the crystal dragon and makes them vulnerable to each other. As well as from Glint in Scion and Champion: Glint: Kralkatorrik and his minions share a common resonance. This strength can also be a weakness. I suppose it’s because that Primordus possibly absorb the Fury Domain would explain why the destroyers are acting rabid, ignoring certain strategic locations as mentioned in Metrica and Gendarran. Jormag’s Frozen appear to be a new ability too, as it’s never been mentioned until now. I assumed this is the ice and crystal domain combined.

I would disagree, I think, just like pvp, if the easy mode took longer, the incentive for normal mode would be to complete the Armor quicker, much like Pvp, the better you do the less time it takes.

Which is fine, everyone gets to have an opinion, but it doesn't change the simple reality that content keeps players around. The reality is that Anet is not designing raids at the moment, this may change for EoD. It’s seems based on the lack of activity for Raids, that’s it’s not worth the dev time. So I guess the question is, for those who want more Raids, how does Anet develop more Raids, if they don’t feel it’s worth the dev time. Clearly the status quo is not working...

I’m hoping that these will play better once Champions is complete and all 4 parts are released.

When we were in LS2, we had what at first four models of Mordrem, then another 3 or 4 when the story progressed. Once HoT hit we were sprawling in Mordrem designs as well as the Mordrem Guard. I think we will see the same for when we actually battle Primordus in the depths.
