Dawntrail's 8-man raid discussion

They are actually really nice compared to EW and the Difficulity Spike is real, but wait for it, it takes 1 day and people start to cry how hard the raids are and pls nerf them, like always.

It was definitely a fun bunch of raids with and some fresh looking mechanics, but in the first three at least there wasn't really anything new or challenging. One-shotted with random JP players on DF. The last one caught us by surprise when she rocketed the arena, though that was only a wipe because both healers died. I'm looking forward to savage though!

The music on the 4th was pretty forgettable though. Ran it 5 times due to bad luck with rolls and yeah, it didn't stick.

The third fight of the tier felt the most...unremarkable overall as it doesn't really have a defining gimmick like the others.

I can already imagine the ways the "golf" mechanic in the first fight and the charm in the second will be a pain on savage.

Me & wife really enjoyed blind run the 4 new trials! I got the black cat on the first run! heheh!!

Gear design was not to my liking but everything else is cool. I liked how the opponents were introduced and how the commentator said something every time I got hit haha.

The raid headgear doesnt work on the new races and even old races. Yes Viera is now an old race since its been more than 2 years now.

But everything else is great. The story is as simple as an anime tournament arc can get which is surprisingly better than DT MSQ

forget the bee queen, i want the black cat as a part of my amazing WoL crew as a DPS role. She is so cute und unique uhhhh :o

Agreed, third fight was the most underwhelming and the easiest (which is strange since the third fight in a raid tier is usually when the difficulty ramps up). The visual cue for the bombs was cute, but that was the only thing that stood out.

It's been a little over 5 years for the females.

Why is it 1 VS 8?? It's so unfair!!! Other than that plot hole, it's been great.
I love Dawntrail and the raids are a good addition.
