The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

I get where OP is coming from I guess, EW dungeons were a step up from previous story dungeons, that is for sure. For a casual player it was probably rough going.

I had an absoulete blast running the blind in the first few days because they actually required you to think and learn on the job, sure we wiped a handful of times during all the dungeons in normal party finder, but that was the fun part. It wasn't a boring "seen it all before" series of dungeons.

I had the distinct advantage of being a tank though (WAR no less) so I could get away with murder...the poor DPS and Healers in those first few days who also ran them all blind though...RIP my dudes. xD (Running them as DRK now and I'm still saving people almost every run with the TBN lol)

Loved the dungeons and Pandemonium, Ex Trials next

Ra-La is a joke once you realize he just jumps all over the place. The second boss though, yeah he's a problem.

OP definitely getting all the new people who don't know their post style...

Also they definitely read TFDF... "waiting for people to complain about Extreme or Savage mechanics in Expert" was almost verbatim said in one of those threads. I wonder how much inspiration they pull from there

God forbid anyone actually has to learn mechanics by experiencing them rather than just face-rolling through or needing a guide to watch.

Glowing (blue) wing on the boss model. Nice try.

The second boss is probably the hardest there if DPS is bad because she has soft enrage (take too long and the entire floor will have puddles as she will overlap them).

There are gaps, you dance through them.

Sometimes it is incomprehensible to me how people on the way from level 1 to 90 regularly either unlearn mechanics or lose the competence to draw logical conclusions based on observing what works and doesn't work during a boss fight.

Like they let someone else level their character or bought the level 80 jump potions.

Speaking as a casual player, these fights were easy. First blind runs had a few bumps, but after seeing the mechanics it was easy enough to pick up on. Casual does not mean bad. Casual just means we don't focus on raids and hardcore content, or play at the bleeding edge.
