(Spoilers) Why are dungeons so under-tuned when...

Ppl don´t wipe on this because the DPS check is a huge one. They wipe on it because there are mostly dead players before and / or the tanks don´t take aggro from the west tree.

I can agree on this, but it´s nothing more than "once seen, always seen". And seriously that players are that not aware of a fed lightning tether even if it´s their first try, is beyond me. Maybe the first add fails, but the other 3?

That´s a design issue, it has nothing to do with playerskill or being a great mechanic.

This is another "once seen, always seen" example. This trial, even in EX... can easily be carried by one player with a mark above his head. Just follow him, nothing else is to take care about in the whole fight.

Don´t know about you or your skill, won´t judge about that. But i can judge about my personal experience and what i see from others. When i´m able to solo-carry any shit out of mentorroulette somehow or solotank EX content, or that i see that the new EX content is played without healers or solotank/soloheal already, than this game has a serious issue.

Maybe just don´t put every dungeon and trial into the MSQ?! Maybe give us real hardmode iterations like they meant to be in ARR?

On the other hand, we´ve trusts and those fights are balanced around them. So far i would call it "solo-instanced" content which is definately clearable for the story. For others, who wants to have a real MMORPG experience, you go in with 8 players and the fight... of course should be harder.

Imo SE is punishing every player who is able to press more than 1 button and moving from A to B, meanwhile showing a middlefinger to their own graphic and animation-team. Giving us great looking content, which are nothing but boring "run throughs", is wasted effored for them and wasted time for us.
