The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

But is it mechanically straight forward? It deviates so far from requiring 2 tanks and 4 dps. My first impressions after being told "arrows will avail us little" was that most of the damage would come from the weaponry. That's definitely not the case though if you want to get Vishap down before the final gate. I just feel that this sort of fight was implemented at the wrong place (main scenario, again the required coordination is astoundingly different considering the previous main scenario fights) at the wrong time (end of the cycle, combined with what I mentioned earlier, and this being required for 3.0, an entire expansion)

I havent done AK or Pharos pre-nerf, but honestly I wouldn't have a problem being hard dungeons, you're expected to be ready to tackle these sort of things since there's no previous low-low expectations from otehr dungeons, and those sort of things naturally get easier anyway as you overgear it (less mechanic oriented for example).

SoF actually has something that most Trials don't. An NPC who tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. Sadly, she doesn't have a voice, so unless people stop to read what she says, her directions are falling on deaf... eyes?

"Arrows and slings will not avail us against this foe!"

It implied that my normal attacks had very little meaning

Nah! players turn around and tell the NPC "I play how I want to!" XD

If you break down the mechanics, yes it is. group up adds at boss, shoot cannons, which we all have done with Castrum. tether it. which we have done with Cerberus in WoD, avoid AE, which we have done in every fight. One person fire the dragon killer at the right time. Rinse, repeat.

The only difference is the boss is constantly moving.
