The Level 60 Dragoon Challenge Was Too Easy! (Spoiler Alert)

I completed it at Item Level 145 with all Level 58 gear obtained through side quests in Idyllshire. During the battle, I was expecting either Heustienne to turn into a dragon and fight her or some adds to appear because there was the Dragon Eye in the Level 50 Dragoon challenge versus Estinien. The only time that I actually felt threatened was when Graoully flew away and sent down some Snowcloak style icicles and their AOE was easy to avoid.

Bottom line: For someone who prides himself on playing the game with the Dragoon as my main, I was expecting a harder fight from the Level 60 Dragoon challenge compared to the Level 50. So, yeah I am disappointed about that.

Well you know, they didn't want to have to nerf it later so they just gave you the nerfed version up front.

You know what, that shade of grass over there is not the same shade as over there, this is the worst game ever fire everyone

Well, if it were any harder, it would just be practice for floor-tanking.

So was the Bard challenge...for anyone who has cleared Pharos Sirius before.

It was fine though. I still liked it. Sort of a fitting boss.

I failed this 3 times and needed the echo buff to finish it. Was ilvl 142.

well, if you try to do it with the tether on you its a lot harder, man mode is fun :P

It's a class quest, not an ironman challenge....

I'm sure you are the best floor-tank on your server. :)

Lol yup you're the only person who prides themself in playing this job as their "Main". The rest of us DRG's must casuals.

Either I got better at Dragoon since I rejoined and ran a million Crystal Tower runs or yes the 60 question was a tad simple. I got killed a few times in the 50 one. I had to be smart and all that to beat it, this one well... I didn't stand in things that would kill me certainly, and even I got froze two time as somehow I was tanking the dragon. XD

No where in his post did he suggest that he was the -only- dragoon main in the entire game. @_@ You literally are trying to pull words out of people's mouth where they said nothing at all.

I have to agree with his sentiment. The Level 60 Dragoon quest was disgustingly easy. So was the level 60 Warrior quest. I didn't get the same vibe I got from their level 50 counterparts. Feels like SE just tried to cater to making the level 60 quests easy and quick to "hurry up and get me my level 60 skill." rather than a real fight that you emerge feelikg like a bad*** from.

Well the i145 HQ level 58 gear has better stats and defense than the i150 Normal quality gear you would buy in Azys Lla. The next increase in gear without crafting is the i160 gear you would get from Either Neverreap or The Fractal Continum which both have an i145 entry requirement and are the EX roulette dungeons which are meant to be done after you finish your main scenario and do your i60 quest. Basically you did it in the best gear possible outside of Crafted HQ i150s and i160s from two dungeons you shouldn't be doing until you've done you're 60 class quest to begin with.

If you're comparing the lv 60 with the lv 50 one, i actually got wiped 3 times on lv 60.. However it only took a single attempt for me to clear the lv 50 one, thats even when i didnt know how to play properly since i only played for like less than a month compared to "have been playing for a year" in lv 60.. I didnt know either that the prey status can be passed to the npc, making the dragon attack the npc instead until those 3 wipes..
