Why are duties insane hard?

[Greven]

When I find Bismarck Ex in DR Trial I give it a try, if I see to much ugly things I explain everyone what they should do. It's hard when you have to give tips about rotations of job you don't use much but once I found a DRG that wasn't using BotD, it's a new thing okay, but neither Heavy Thrust which you get from like the start.. Lucky he tried to follow what I told him.

But... these fights aren't hard. Not in the slightest. The problem boils down to a good portion of the playerbase simply being terrible at the game, but there's a limit to how easy SE can make encounters without having bosses just sit in the middle of the arena and read a book while you kill them (and people would still find a way to fail).

Duties are hard 90% of the time because someone or multiple people in the DPS role don't know how to perform their job to minimum dps expectations of the encounter. Then throw mechanics on top of that. Then consider once you've got all competent dps it still doesn't mean the Tank or Healer are on the ball.

This would be reduced if there were stronger tutorials, but the game kind of just expects players to intuitively know what to do, which clearly doesn't always work.

But people cannot simply afford to do anything in more than 1 try. They have families, and work.. and social life. Give them a break. /sarcasm

None of the 51-59 content is hard (neither is most of the 60 content either)

People are just stupid, and you can't fix stupid.

I went in with a few friends (about 4 at the time) and we wiped once because we jumped off at the start for a quick laugh, then we just went and one shot it, nothing in that fight is hard, assign 2 people DK duty and for the most part, just burn down adds and carapace.

I don't know why some DPS struggle to put out good damage, its very hard to put out really high numbers, but doing good damage? Keeping DoTs/buffs on and doing your combos is enough and some don't even get that far. Avoiding AoE damage goes without saying.

I agree. But if the few of you read my post i'm not asking to fix stupid. I'm asking the have SE fix main scenario requirement trials. I legit wasted my time in 7 groups and over 15 minutes in each one to finally down it. Not because I didn't do my part. But because every group had half of the players causing the group to wipe and wipe and wipe until finally the 15 minute limit came up and someone would start up the abandon duty. Which caused each group to disband.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to do them. I'm saying anything required for the main scenario shouldn't be difficult but fun. Other players shouldn't be held back from their gaming time. Especially if the time they have is precious on a video game, because a player decides to not put %100 effort.

The main scenario isn't difficult.
Most of these people just legit don't know how to play their job at the bare minimum level. They weren't educated on how to do so, and they failed to learn it on their own.

How to be a good healer/ or dps? on bismarck hm and ex.

Learn how to solo DKs and field generator so dps and other healer can focus on doing 1 THING.
Cuz the only reason y ppl have trouble is cuz they suck at multitasking.

Most Grindy MMO??? Didn't you play FFXI where people were trying for months (maybe even 1yr) to get a RDM AF2 hat/

But back on topic, Bismark HM mechanics are simple, the only part that could be considered "hard" is the dps check, that's not down to the difficulty of the fight.
