@Black Blazing Dragon    Well you can't deny that the first phase is very reminiscent of the fight against Lao Shan Lung.... though his second phase picks up very well.... but it still sucked.. why? Underwater combat.

I like the idea of underwater combat but it was so annoying in-game.

@Joeynator3000    Dire Miralis is fairly cool and so is his theme but he just seems so... meh to me.

Well underwater was kinda one of Dire's gimmicks so if they brought Dure without underwater combat, they're going to need to revamp him a little bit.
