Pharos Sirius - Too difficult for randoms

[Chryzo]

Well funny thing is, Pharos is actually hard the more equipment you have on your ... DPS ! Or that is my feeling.

First boss: dog calls seems to be related to %life HP of the boss, so the faster you kill him => the more dogs you have to manage at the same time
Zu: kill one egg, let one pop, kill the add, u good to go, he won't insta kill anything. Also feels like egg call is somewhat DPS related since I had parties with one DPS being on standby and just killing the adds and not dpsing boss.
Third boss: that's a boss ?
Siren: Stick to her except when she ports to border and your good to go. DPS seems also to play a huge part here as with really heavy dps, as a scholar or white mage I can't keep up with the healing debuff + charm + healing tank + dispelling bleed on tank. If you slow the dps, weirdly it goes through with a breeze

In the end when I do that dungeon I switch to spiritbounding equipment ^^ it goes better

Why can't people just enjoy the damn game? Stop complaining that it's to hard. If you want easy then go back to WoW. No one kept you there that long.

Content in this game is already easy though, they don't have to go anywhere.

Actually...the least DPS you have, the harder it is to kill adds, and adds are important to kill. Especially on Siren, if you don't kill crawlers fast is hell. And third boss is basically only a dps race, since if you don't kill him him fast enough he starts being a boss, so...my feeling was the opposite.

I did Pharos Sirius twice up until now. Both times was with Duty Roulette and both time was me Healing.

While I do claim that the instance is stressful on healers, it is in no way too difficult to do for randoms.

First time we went in I had 1 wipe on second boss (too many rage stack 2 shotted the tank) and the second time around the group did not wipe. Both times had new comers to the instance.

I never wiped on Siren, the fight is no way easy for healers tough, to many status effects that can combine to make healer's live hard.

the content is easy with a premade group, in duty roulette instead pretty much all the ppl I know regret ever having unlocked PS and I'm in one of the most advanced guilds on our server. Pretty muich everybody i know takes the 30 min penalty above wiping 90 mins through PS.

Out of curiosity, since this dungeon and Haukke/Copperbell HM are min ilvl48 dungeons and AK/WP don't seem to have a min ilvl, has anyone tried equipping gear that lowers their ilvl to below 48 and then queuing for the high level roulette? In theory you should only get put into AK or WP and then surely once you start you can just re-equip your good gear?

I would like more content like Pharos. Only through exposure will people improve. Can't expose the community to hard content if the content isnt hard.

There is a gear level requirement for Pharos Sirius, you need average ilvl of 48 to be put into it. Sadly though there is no way to weed out the morons who refuse to listen and think that standing in the fire is a good thing.

48 is too low for that dungeon and besides, the whole average ilvl thing is severly flawed. Needs to weigh weapon a lot heavier, should probably go 50% weapon 50% averaged from armor.
