Instead of we start complaining about the Cauldron, and QQ about nerfs. Lets actually try to understand what is going on with this mechanic for the attackers in Fell Landing, and Reikwald fortresses

I tried to go back and rewatch the VOD and learned a few things based on what i saw. Feel free to theorycraft, spot mechanics and let come together as a community to figure this out. It is way more satisfying to learn a pve mechanic and find a solution to dealing with it, than the mechanic getting nerfed and removed imho.

So here is what I have spotted so far:
- Cauldron was ticking for 1282 in this fort (odd number, could be based on Stage 2 performance)
- The damage ticks are not getting mitigated by Tank M4s
- Cauldron is placed in the absolute center of lord's room (scary to get in LoS and even see it)
- It seems to not be linked to when Lord is getting pulled ? needs more data.
- The ticks are coming in often and I saw no patern in when it does double or tripple ticks.

Lets figure this **** out!

Also so I got footage of the defenders point of view too with commentary:
