praetorium vs aurum vale

Even with a "slow" group or a Squadron, Aurum Vale is about a million times better (and faster). So, yeah, Aurum Vale.

Personally, I'm not in a super hurry to finish things up so I just queue for all 5 of the standard dungeons that give the tokens and do whatever I get. This way will certainly take longer but at least I won't go crazy running the same dungeon over and over and over again 10s of times.

Do it now, it may be a long time before you can win those mounts again.

Hah, I ran it 6 times and my win count is 0-6... >_>

At this rate, I don't think I'm getting that mount even if the event ran every day for 100 years. I am cursed to lose every blasted match! =x

I have no idea what I'm even doing on it tbh, just pew pew on people and then suddenly we're overwhelmed and my team don't seem to be doing anything but dying. :(

Stinks that's your count. I've been winning every other one, its been nice.
If you don't know what you're doing, look it up. A quick two minute to read through guide.
Or, read your tool tips. People go into things with no knowledge of how things work, don't read anything, don't ask questions, then wonder why they're losing.

Aurum Vale is the best dungeon in the game the hell you talking about ?

It’s unique mechanics and challenge favorite essentially dead in later dungeons makes it super fun. Though the 49 cap does make it boring for a few jobs. But it stands as the final test for good tanks and the only remote challenge you’ll have as a tank in Aurum Vale your a guide while others you’re just a Aoe spammer wall-to-wall robot

Go further back. Aurum Vale is a drastically scaled down version of its 1.0 counterpart. ARR onward its always been the same.

Aurum Vale has been amazing to play now that experienced and competent players wearing good gear are doing it. Adds pulled to boss room and not stopping to fight 3 seeds. Everything just melts.

So easy and boring just like the 80s and 70s

My last AV run was anything but quick. Had a newbie tank who didn't listen to advice and caused multiple wipes, the healer got salty and started an argument with the other DPS over being a bitch to the tank, who still hadn't said a word.
Wasn't until it got to "well why don't you just leave then?" and "no because then I'd get a penalty" followed by "then just do the dungeon" that I had to chime in with "we don't seem to be doing anything right now..." that it finally got everyone back into action.

Ehh, I'd expect ARR content to be boring at this point to be fair. Most of AV's difficulty in the past also had more to do with people's inexperience than anything else, as even back in ARR a decent group made it rather trivial.

Back onto the topic at hand, I'll take Aurum Vale over Prae any day of the week. Particularly now that Dancer is in the game since it absolutely melts dungeon mobs. That said I'm going to probably try and do Rival Wings instead of either Aurum or Prae, if only because I want to get the mounts and maybe some titles before the mode is dead again.

There is nothing more boring in this game than killing one or two simple mobs at a time. Especially when the adds don't even hit back like the seeds in AV.
