  Question: Does the Raid Boss here counts for training for Meteor Strike rank 4 and rank 3?

  
  
  That's a good question...I'll make an alt tonight to test that with. Test server makes it easy to get to that point to test with :D

  Btw, one thing I should mention. Easy mode isn't going to be so easy. Here's a couple examples.
  
  Tropa who has 70% of the damage he has of his main on the test server was dealing 200s-300s with his water cannon under rain when he normally was doing 12k+ crits in easy mode.
  
  With about 400 - 500 damage I was dealing 50-150 damage Smashes and that was with r1 smash >.>
  
  Just to give you a general idea of the amount of nerfed damage we're talking about here. Just for easy. The attacks doing a % of your max health also doesn't help.
  
  Only thing that seemed to bypass this damage reduction was demigod skills and Celestial Spikes.

  I think I was under estimating, maybe around ~50% of my main's damage, my KR character is missing 500'ish mana, all water enchants and my combo card.
  
  But that still doesn't mean easy mode isn't beefy, a group of end-game players will still be able to down the boss on easymode within a few minutes, Hardmode however, will take a group effort.

  How does Brionac + Shock/Demigod work in that raid? Or can you not have them in the test server?

  You get Brioniac and Demigod for free. We could try that next.

  Ooh, I hope that Brionac + Shock works.
  
  Then that'd mean that Shadow Spirit would work too.
  And that'd be a bit more convenient to use than Brionac, for lowering Boss-type enemy protection and dealing some damage.

  Gameabout has an article featuring the first disciple.
  
  There is some interesting information in there (green/purple health bars, health/skill thresholds, etc).

  Well finally was able to test...Sacred Infection is not Poison. Summoning a Pegasus doesn't dispel the effect.

  Ah, well...
  
  Does it have its own way to "counter" it?
  Like Crystal Meteor can be effectively nullified through the use of Shield of Trust?
  
  Or do you just have to deal with the hurt?

  As far as I can tell you just deal with the hurt.

  The more I'm reading about it, the more I like it.
  From what I understand, it's going to be a system in which end-game players are nearly equal to players that simply got a bit of experience in fighting, and that requires a bit of teamwork from any range of levels to get things done.
  Also, it will be nice to see Emain being a bit more lively place. (Tara next, please)
  
  As for getting the divine skills... It all sounds like, depending on actual story, getting demigod skills with Neamhain's support or support from Morrighan should be enough to start (so clearing G9-G10/G12), with some things locked until you clear rest of generations (like the Dragon Support works right now).
  But that is purely my speculation.

  Actually you can start Chapter 6 without any of the previous mainstream quests completed. In addition you cannot participate in the raids until after you complete Chapter 6 mainstream quest. It does look like G19 will give you all the Knight Skills by the time you complete it. You get the Knight Skills after certain quests in the mainstream storyline.
  
  Verified by Teto, Herro, and I on the live server as of this morning. Still trying to complete it, ran out of time this morning and will continue after work. Teto is stuck at a certain point she can't get past and Herro hasn't had much time to do it.

  Oh, that's neat.
  Wish you luck, guys on clearing the quests.
