    Hmm, yeah I can see BLM having harder time there than basically anyone else. That said, i've never wiped there, even with full DF groups.

    2 DPS going - hope you didn't have double BLM. Tank should be DPS when most adds are out (boss invul). Adds have little HP, so it's doable for just about every group.

    The second dps was a machinist. The only part that we really had a problem with was the last boss, and it was just impossible. No matter where I ran to, when the adds popped the boss kept coming at me and I didn't have time to cast at all between dodging the boss and the twisters. That last boss is just death to casters.

    As for the person who said the trash mobs drop fast, maybe if have a fully-geared party, but if you do there at ilvl 145 those mobs take a really long time to kill. I admit it probably just seems much slower to me because I got used to being able to run dungeons quickly before the expansion because I was well geared.

    If you watch there is a pattern to the madness. You can anticipate where the tornados and the boss will be going and easily get your casts out without even loosing enochian. The trick is observation. If you pay attn. in just a couple of these runs and see how things move you should pick up on the movement and be able to stay one step ahead of the boss and the tornados in future runs. But if you panic, while then your going to have one heck of a bad time. The entire dungeon is like this. The second boss is a lil more tricky but you take measures to move totems and save your enochian once you master it, time things right and learn how to utilize other skills to keep it going. Learning these things is just going to make you a better blm overall so its worth the time to learn it.

    I call bullsh*t. Those tornadoes don't move in a straight line. I've done this dungeon to know better. The boss, yes, moves straight. But the tornadoes, no.

    This right here. Everyone was expecting to faceroll them like we did for the past 16 months overgearing every single "expert" dungeon SE released. Once HW hit, everyone gets knocked down a few pegs and forgot what it was like to be on the same ilvl as the content you are completing.

    That, and bad dps could kind of sneak by in the older dungeons due to gear inflation. Now that everyone's rotations have become more complex and you can't rely on the gear crutch so much - we see a lot of bad dps creeping out of the woodwork.

    I prefer it to fractal, I find fractal boring for the most part. I feel environmental and trash mechanics are lacking. My favorite dungeons in the game are still the revamped 1.x dungeons and qarn.
