^ Now this was a challenge if you didn't cheap out.

If you think DM was a challenge you must of been really bad lol.

While I don't want XIV to be much like XI I think they should bring over some stuff, but challenges ? Meh idk, what a person views as challenging is as fluctuating as an opinion. Take the above for example, i did not find DM a challenge (nore did i BLM nuke it since that was patched). The only things I found challenging were the 2 notoriously known bosses (AV/PW) but they were quite stupidly challenging lol. And one I still have not killed. But everything else, not at all. Most of the best stuff was rewarded for time sinkage.

I agree, since constantly dying must be the only definition of "challenge" lol.

You do know outside of burn setups and supertanking DM was indeed one of the more challenging BCNMs in that game, right? Though I'm sure you probably also would say Kirin wasn't a challenge when it was in it's prime either. Nothing is a challenge as time goes on. That's logical.

DM was really easy if you were any good at the game beat it on the first attempt, in the first week it was out, used the 4 tank kite in halls strat. For people who just rush in without any sort of plan and wipe I can see it being hard, but if you were organized it wasn't much of a challenge at all.

Just so you know, Mana Burn DM is only "easy mode" and not the true way to fight it. I personally refused to do DM like it.

Divine Might has always been one of the most challenging fight in the game, it's challenging that it was actually an OPTIONAL Boss fight for the zilart story, with special reward from it.

Divine Might was like old school challenge fight, and I did it the old school way. It took quite a few attempts to finally win it, but damn, the fight, itself, was so much fun that I'd love to do it again just for the sake of the fight.

Easy Now? Probably. Back in the day before all the new stuff? Oh God, it's definitely not easy, and you needed 18 people that are GOOD to do it right and win it.
