You basically got to do what you said Locus, in order to get both rubies everyone has to do Locus, which is the most painful boss to date as you need 8 of the 12 people in the raid to survive while planting the bombs/cores, i reckon they need to lower the amount needed to plant the bombs/cores
Nothing needs nerfing.
Everything gets nerfed to kindergarden level because people are too lazy to learn how to press few buttons at right time.
Step your game up and actually learn something, instead of requesting for everything to be nerfed so you can finish it by clicking 1 1 1 1 1.
Its enough you can now solo most of in game raids by purely being lvl 75.
If it was me i would always keep all raids always on max level (like those 2 giants in GT are kept).
