Roulette offers no challenge.

They noticed that 3/4 of the playerbase immediately quit out of pharos when it popped.

Or did not even unlock it. I did not run Pharos till 2.2 when I was forced to if i wanted the roulette bonuses for that set.

Friend never unlocked Mannor or Copperbell hard for the same reason. While these two areas were no where near as bad as Pharos they were still very hit or miss when it came to DPS that could actually clear the bosses. Basically another casualty of SE and setting iLVL's drastically to low.

Actually, Pharos Sirius was the opposite of a DPS check. All three bosses had mechanics that were a guaranteed wipe if you burned the boss too fast and/or ignored mechanics (these mechanics are still there but have been toned down a bit). Haukke HM and Copperbell HM just had some slightly unforgiving mechanics, but I never got a DF group that couldn't clear either of those places, though sometimes people had to be taught how.

Basically, the theme of that trio of dungeons was "Don't ignore adds!" because in all of them, especially Pharos, ignoring the adds would get the whole group killed.
