Qarn Hard final boss seems WAY overtuned.

There are lasers in this fight ? >_> All I noticed is that the boss said something at like 1% HP left and then boom. I have not seen any other mechanics than the mummies...

in all honesty they are. They're a step higher in difficulty comparing to the others (on par with AK and Pharos in their time I'd say, maybe a bit more difficult), but they are still super easy to go through in 30 mins with 4/4 beginners.

Get out and get some fresh air if you got frustrated instead of bursting out laughing when you saw yourself turn into a mummy and ran across the arena.

Yeahhhhhh Satasha is definitely my least favorite of the three right now.

Qarn is a lot of fun. ^^

I haven't done this one, but with the way the servers have been lagging (for me anyway) since the update went live all of Snowcloak was very difficult. I don't think it would be if my ping weren't jumping between 50 ms and 3500 ms, but it at least seemed interesting that all of the bosses required us to pay attention a bit and figure a few things out (though they were mostly simple mechanics). Might be others are having lag issues and 'getting hit' by the lasers no matter what.

So far all the 3 dungeons are great. And I got lucky enough to go in with new people that have yet to run them each time. So we had fun figuring it all out.

I intentionally got mummified cause I wanted to see what would happen hehe.

And yeah from what I saw the mobs in the new ones actually hit a tad more than a wet noodle.

More such dungeons please. And PLEASE stop moving them to drhigh.... it gets boring on drexpert with just 3 dungeons...

But yeah I actually like the difficulty of the bosses. The timing for dodging Fenrir's lunar cry is really tight as well. We have bosses that actually require you to pay attention to their mechanics at last! :D

---

Or you could not dodge it....
On our first run we were derping out a bit and just took Lunar Cry to the face. The bite afterwards hurts like hell but no one died. But that probably only works with high ilvls, if you go in at the minimum you are most likely doggie feed.

Had an immense amount of fun with the snowball fight though!

This may indeed make a big difference. I did Satasha and Qarn with 2 friends from the FC, and Snowcloack with an all FC party. It is fun to discover things together, even if you need some time to figure things out.

Pretty much.

This is the first set of dungeons that actually makes me feel like i have to focus rather than holy spam or cure spam. I cannot deal with anymore dumb faceroll dungeons. You would think its a nightmare to dodge stuff for 3 minutes. Its fun, focus and enjoy the ride.

The tailspin can also be interrupted as tank. That makes it easier on the healer.

The pistol spam, is there any tactic to counter that that anybody is aware off? Only ran Sastasha HM once thus far. He appeared to be randomly targeting someone. The first pistol spam wasn't bad. It just hit for a few hundred. However at roughly 20% it did another pistol spam and 2 shot both DPS. It simply kept nuking me for 2k damage till the end of the fight. Which as the healer had to continously heal me, no time to to res, CD's had to remain up, and roughly 800k total incoming damage later it felt rather off. Either we bugged him out in some way, or there's some sort of mechanic we missed or whatever. It didn't feel as intended for an iLvL 80 dungeon to constantly be nuked for such amounts on an iLvL 110 tank :p.

The last boss was a complete joke again. At first I was like, AoE and add overload?! But then I quickly realized 'wait, this doesn't hurt. The blind doesn't even make me miss'. I could just stand there as tank, be pretty self sufficient whilst the healer and DPS were doing something on the background with arms and tentacles.

Just focus fire on the boss when he fires his gun. That will interrupt him. It is just like the BLM mog in Mog trials.

It is my understanding that if the DPS do enough damage to him while he's shooting, he'll stop.

When I ran this dungeon however, my DD's lacked the gear/dps to do this effectively enough for me to know for certain if this actually works. (I just hard-cure spammed it all)
