    The only bosses in any low level dungeon that EVER needed explaining was Aurum Vale and first boss in Qarn.
    "Kill the Bees, stand on the orange square"
    "Eat fruit at 2 stacks"
    "Don't be in front when he does Glare, Get behind for Eye, get out of melee for 100 and 10 tonze swing"
    "Eat Fruit at 3~4 stacks, they spawn irregularly, murder the seed pods when they spawn"

    Oh wow. One sentence per boss is soooooooo time consuming.
    GTFO.

    I prefer "let me do the stunning so he doesn't build resistance".

    Ehh, Its safer to just take a few steps back on both swings. I can always get back to his melee before he even moves (As tank).
    Cos it sucks ass when someone accidently drops a stun without saying anything, and then you get your face caved in XD

    Why take a few steps back for the frontal AoE? Just run through the boss. The 360º AoE is annoying to dodge because the range is big. Letting only the tank use stun in that fight makes for cleaner and faster fight in my experience.

    Sastasha:
    Hit the vents when they have water coming up.

    Tam-Tara:
    Debatable, but I have had to tell people to kill imps on final boss.

    Copperbell Mines:
    Don't touch bombs, kill spriggans
    Don't touch adds on Gyges.

    Halitali:
    Whether you want to kill the fire things on the first and last boss.
    Don't stand in the purple water.

    Totorak:
    Kill pods around arena, kill tail quickly.

    Haukke:
    Make sure you know that people know lamps.

    Brayflox:
    I got nothing because I try to avoid when possible.

    Cutter's Cry:
    Newer healer may not know the standard way to do first boss.
    Explain to move away from blues eyes, and gather close with purple eye on hydra.

    Stone Vigil:
    See Brayflox

    Dzemael:
    Newer tanks may need to be told the way to do first boss
    Don't point the final boss's ray at the party when we need to kill the crystal

    Sure, the majority of these are idiot checks, but NEVER go in expecting everyone to know the small gimmicks. Copperbell for me especially.

    I actually never got Cutter's Cry until my second job, WHM. I had no idea why they let them come after me!

    Not sure if this was meant to argue for or against increased rewards.

    Either way, this post should end the thread. If you can't find the empathy in your ice-black soul to type up one sentence for inexperienced newcomers, you have no place playing a multiplayer game.

    It was to argue with the person saying only two dungeons needed one sentence explanations. XD

    I wouldn't mind increased rewards, but I only use low level DF for levelling.

    These days, depending on the group's make-up, you can ignore the bubbling vents entirely. Not that I do, unless the tank/healer specifically mention to just burn the boss.

    I still witness dps just focusing on the boss when the imps are up (I don't mind so much if the tank is tunnel-visioned on the boss).

    I still see players have to be told to not kill the bombs. With the group make-up, you really don't need to bother with the adds and just focus on burning the last boss, even though the intended mechanic is to deal with the adds.

    Kill bubbles ASAP, move dragon out of green poop. Also, don't stand in green poop.

    Blue: run away, Chimera has cooties. Purple: Run to Chimera 'cause it wants HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS!

    Not a good idea to pull more than 3 of those aevis.

    Ifrit & Titan:
    Kill nail/ heart ASAP.

    While more Soldiery/Poetic rewards would be nice, I don't think it would encourage more people to do the low level roulettes.
