Change Pharos Sirius Difficulty or Remove it from Duty Roulette please......

I've never had an issue with this dungeon per say. I've only ever tanked it, and I usually talk people through it every time - I guess I'm not only getting sick of that, but getting sick of the people who think you can just steamroll through it, won't listen to advice, and try and rush the party. The amount of times I've had to explain to multiple parties about the eggs multiple times because they don't listen or pay attention. I swear a lot of players are not very bright people, no wonder SE are nerfing everything.

Also raising the iLevel does nothing in terms of providing competent players to your group.

I think the biggest problem with this dungeon (or any of the new dungeons) is that the ilevel requirement for them is set way too low. For anyone who hasn't checked, the ilevel for Pharos Sirius is 48. That's lower than AF armor. I'll repeat. The ilevel requirement for Pharos Sirius is lower than the ilevel of AF gear Do any of you think a party of people in pre AF gear could even get past the first boss? Probably not.

Actually about that...the ilvl requirement IS taking into account AF gear. You have to remember the ilvl requirement is not just the main body pieces, but also jewellery. And there is almost NO ilvl50 jewellery for combat classes. Many of them are i48 and i49. A lot of pre-endgame weapons are also ilvl49.

So once you reach 50, and all the lvl 50 dungeons open up, you can access each one, which I guess is what you don't like. Have to remember though that people 'progressing' through the dungeons will like to complete them one after another. Not farm one repeatedly until they get the gear they want, then onto the next one. And as we know RNG, sometimes, people don't get ANY drops. So what you're suggesting will make fresh lvl 50s have to farm one dungeon repeatedly that they probably don't want to, just so they can enter another dungeon that they want to try out? Kinda a bit selfish, don't you think.

It's not selfish at all if their stats are seriously too low to stand a chance against the first boss.

-shrug- If SE can deem it possible with that ilvl, then maybe it is doable. That was the reason behind the ilvl requirement anyway.

And since undergeared players generally leave if they get Pharos Sirius, doing that would actually be doing them a favor since DR won't throw them in there.

The main problem with Pharos Sirius isn't the difficulty of the dungeon as a whole but Siren's difficulty in comparison to the other bosses of the instance and that the reward for such a difficult fight is not worth it. Why? Because you can get the exact same loot by running other, easier dungeons. This causes the normal player to ask "what's the point?". If Pharos rewarded you with unique gear that was better, nobody would have a problem with it because running it it would be worth it.

I don't find it exceedingly difficult, but it is tougher than WP and AK.
The problem is there are no exclusive rewards for completing it.
SE went to a tremendous amount of effort for both Pharos Sirius and King Moogle, but people aren't finding the rewards worth the effort.
It's sad really.

What a shame, it's a fun dungeon. I guess now people can go through it without being able to explain encounters.

Snip.

The ilvl for PS is crap and it should be raised even though it may not help and its too late. Anyone with a GC/Darklight weapon, ilvl49 accessories including waist, and all AF is ilvl50. Even then with the economy down the drain, Gearing shouldn't be costly. SE could have made PS ilvl somewhere near ilvl62+ even though it doesn't justify getting ilvl60 gear rewards.

SE should have had a higher ilvl but gave better rewards. I hope SE learns from this since they said they will be changing the difficulty. I enjoy the Dungeon, I mean who doesn't like Boobs!

Siren's difficulty in comparison to the other bosses

It's the most trivial boss ever, tho.

Stand in the middle. Stun annoying casts. Kill adds, and sometimes go to the side if you see that shes gonna charge, then go back to the middle.

How a boss fight where you dont even have to move from the middle except for one script is actually hard ?
