    The only issues I ever had in Pharos Sirius is people leaving the dungeon before everyone can skip the CS. Pharos Sirius is not hard. And by the looks of this new place it isn't going to be hard either.

    I don't even care about the difficulty, I just don't want to see what happened to Pharos Sirius happen to this new place. I enjoy the new dungeons even the rehashed Hard Mode ones. But when no one wants to do PS it kinda sucks. Even though I don't think we are going to have a choice on skipping this dungeon, Cause I hope its one of the only place to drop the new Tomestones.

    I agree that it isn't "hard", but then why don't people want to do it? It is certainly more difficult than any of the level 50 dungeons, and its minimum iLvL is 49 if I recall. I would venture to guess that these will be harder than PS based solely on the minimum iLvL req. I would also bet, that people will not want to do it because it won't be faceroll easy. People demand harder content, and then only do the content that they deem easiest and/or fastest to complete.

    Well the problem with increasing the ilvl requirements on it is that it wouldn't make people more willing to do the dungeon. Like you said, people leave pharos before everyone is done with the cutscene. I've seen that happen the last few times I've gone in. It has nothing to do with the ilvl. Its because the dungeon requires some thought and skill rather than gear. The ilvl just simply isn't the issue. Its the people who just want to waltz through with their high level gear and get upset because they can't.

    People leave before others finish vs because you do not get df penalty then. You do if you wait

    Pharos Sirirus was very poorly tuned. The i48 requirement is a lie, because there's simply no reliable way to dodge Siren's dash 100% of the time, due to a mix of the poor server latency and her unpredictable nature, it's unfathomably luck based.

    If you're overgeared, it's easy to just group up in the center and heal through the damage. Assuming the healer has half a brain (majority of them don't.) If you're undergeared, you better hope you get lucky within her random, unpredictable pattern. There's no other way you'll survive that dash. (Which has too large of a radius as well.)

    This is why people don't like Pharos. SE themselves admitted it was overtuned and plan to change it. Necessary nerf is necessary.

    Do try to learn your lesson with new dungeon content, SE. "Learn or die" is preferable over completely random and overtuned mechanics.
