I found Aksis harder to pug for heroic mode than Vosik, while the latter is definitely tuned maybe a little too much for pugs it really just depends on people being able to stay alive, and higher light helps a lot with that.
Aksis really came down to people communicating in 4-5 seconds about how they will split empowerments three times per round, and that is a huge issue for some groups. From the person who barely talks to the one who no one can understand to the guy who can't jump reliably on his back, it feels like way too many pugs have minor issues that make Aksis much harder.
Anyways cleared in my 3d group on the 3d try, definitely helped everyone was over 390 and maybe two glasses of wine before I started relaxed me too. I really like how loot isn't that important from the raid anymore, you can get 400 loot anywhere and while the raid gear is pretty good only the gloves (heavy) and chest (less damage) are useful in the raid itself. Dark drinker is amazing, with 4x DD's we got him in two rounds. Not much pressure to really run the hard mode raid again unless I am just bored and wanna do something.
395 on all chars from just one hard mode clear and I still have 30+ exotic engrams banked, will save em for the April patch.
