the new trial is too hard

[TruebladeNuke]

As of right now, most people are still learning how to truly down this fight in a reasonable amount of time. I've been seeing all sorts of different strategies employed to make it happen so far. I think the best one I've seen suggested is one Tank and one Healer on the cannons while the other Healer does nothing but heal and the other Tank grabs adds, while all DPS focus on the boss and add AoE to the mobs.

I'm rather mixed on this fight myself. On one hand, I welcome a challenge. But on the other hand, this is part of the Main Scenario. I already claimed this fight as the fight that'll separate people from being able to make it to Heavensward or not, tee hee. So I can't help but feel that somewhere down the line, this fight will take a slight nerf anyway, regardless of how everyone else feels about this fight.

I managed to clear the fight myself. Took about 4 wipes before landing in a DF party that got it down. Thinking about it, I think they DID use the "One Tank and one Healer on cannons" strategy, but I wasn't paying too much attention to that because I was on Dragonslayer duty. And boy, did I enjoy dropping them missiles on the bad boy.

Regardless, the content just came out, so it'll be awhile before we see this go one way other. And I'm sure most players are hoping this fight just remains as is while it gets easier anyway as the majority of the player base ultimately decides on the best strategy for bringing it down in a reasonable amount of time. I do find it funny though that there are people in here claiming this fight isn't hard when it actually IS one of the harder fights in this game, lol.

My only disappointment with this fight is there being no loot rewards at the end. Otherwise, I thought the fight was awesome.

PS: The real majority of the difficulty though comes from landing in groups where people end up being derps sadly. Partially a reason why I avoided MMO gaming back then.
