If it does nothing. The least it could give us miniature shields so we can do full string weapon mastery combos on the bosses.
isn't it for generating a Boom Tube to allow the Bugs/Parademons to enter the Necropolis to collect the artefacts you've found? Can't just suddenly start spawning Boom Tubes. It doesn't need to do anything other than the purpose it has currently. Oh and we certainly don't need shields for the Final Boss of that Operation either
Not really. I'm getting more sick of "Superior gear drops from beating Easy Raid Bosses in unchallenging raids whilst the harder, longer grind rewards only the second best gear" Universe Online. I'd rather the bosses were so hard that meleeing them as a DPS is a stupid idea.
The “limited” Mother Box Mister Miracle gives us is simply a plot device in the raid. That said, I did suggest and still hope that the Mother Box will be introduced as the spiritual successor to the CC Trinket in either HOP2 or 3.
