I love getting Copperbell or Haukke. They're easy, fast, and give a nice 90 tomes.
Pharos is the worst of them all, but it's far from hard if people know what to do.

Why even do the roulette? Haukke HM can be done in 25 minutes or less with a competent group versus 45+ minutes with an inexperienced/undergeared group. I've been just speed running it to cap myth after I get my CT loot, assuming I haven't capped my myth there since it never drops tank loot for me.

This has to be the biggest QQ thread I have seen on the forums to date.

Copperbell I've found simple in comparison to the other two. I'm not as punished for having latency like I am in Haukke, and I've never managed to get past Zu in Pharos Sirius. I've beaten Copperbell both times I've been rouletted into it.
It's not really a cry thread when it's a legitimate thing. These dungeons aren't hard at all if you have a decently geared group (ilvl 60 plus). But, since fresh 50's get dumped into these dungeons regularly, it can make for some very frustrating and fruitless runs. I had one Haukke Manor were the DPS couldn't even down one of the two adds that spawned (second set of adds). So, she would eat the second one, with full life and we would wipe. We did this over and over until the healer finally gave up (I even helped DPS and they still died sooo slow). I dropped too at that point as the group just didn't have the DPS required to complete it. The ilvl needs to be bumped up to maybe 58-60 for each of these. Fresh 50's would have to do the MS Roulette and HL Roulette (AK/WP only) and buy a few pieces of DL before these could be accessed.

I agree with Ver, I have an Ilvl 75 blm and ilvl 78 whm and both of them when paired with some fresh 50's I feel like my self and the one other relic holder have to carry the group. On the Haukke hm I've had times I've had to dps and heal the whole fight just to get us through. Haukke and PS should be min Ilvl 60 avg to enter those are my thoughts . . .
pharos is a bit overtuned and maybe should drop a bit higher lvl gear. haukke and cbm are pretty decent tho. im actually enjoying the step up in difficulty.



I have a question about Haukke HM, specifically about the last boss. I've beat it four or five times now, but it seems like every time I get a player saying some weird strat; 'Amendine and the main boss need to die at the exact same time or its an insta-wipe!' 'kill the two maidservants at the same time or its a wipe!' what is the deal with this? Seems I've done it a few times different ways, focusing on the add first etc, and the 'strat' wasn't necessarily true. Can anyone clarify this for me?
Also, if you kill the adds fast enough, she won't get buffs, right? Could've swore my first run I was able to stun her well after the first add, but now no matter how quickly we kill the add, it seems to always give her the 'silence/stun immunity' buff.
The number of people advocating a minimum ilvl requirement equal to or higher than the gear that drops is hilarious. The minimum level is not designed so that you can have a casual, flawless run with every group.
