3.2 Dungeons Difficulty

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I don't think the previous expert dungeons were that much fun; the mechanics for each boss fight was quite simple and trash mobs will always be trash no matter their strength or HP. I had more fun with the current expert dungeons now since the bosses use more interesting mechanics and use more than one mechanic for the final fight.

I've found the current Dungeons in 3.2 to be rather fun. I mean The Antitower can have it's moments of down time with some of the trash but I really enjoyed revisiting The Lost City of Amdapor. Though I was thrown for a loop when I saw spells like Cure dealing damage XD.

Better than Nevercast.

I hate that dongeons and raids don't scale you down more, it's not been that long since the patch but in amdapor I had a tank that pulled three groups instead of the standard two and it worked out fine...
If I'm tanking I can pretty much stay in Sword Oath the whole time and the healer in Cleric Stance for the bosses. The only trash mob I ever found interesting to fight where the ones in The Aery where they dont have a red circle and you have to look at the animation to know when to dodge. I like stuff like that.
The problem with difficuld things is just that people don't always know the mechanics even after running the thing a few times (Y'know Kuribu and her regen circle that needs more than the melee people).

"Hard" dungeons in DF were

Haukke HM (minilvl last boss pure DPS check)
Sasti HM funnily could wipe all bosses easily
Amdapor HM (Demon Wall part but after a wipe didnt fully reset iirc)

Most dungeons are designed to be farmable without wipes though it is sad but on other hand for challenge we have raids and primals

I prefer anyway dungeons with story... like Tamtam HM <3

Indeed. It is sad that they decided to remove the healer role from the current dungeons though.

Why not one face roll easy, but long and drawn out(for those that hate hard).

And the other dungeon challenging, shorter (length could be equal to other if you wipe a couple times.

??

The Anti-Tower is pretty easy. I can solo the last boss on my Warrior, at least.

I learned this recently when our DPSers were just that bad. First set of dolls was me and the healer, and neither of us got broken out at all, and the boss used its tankbuster on one of the DPSers (because I wasn't a valid target at the start, being a doll). So he got rezzed. Next set had both the DPSers dolled. I broke them out almost immediately with a single berserking fell cleave on each. Next set (because I can only do so much DPS myself) was a DPS and Me. The DPS got broken out because the healer helped kill it, but it took too long for me to get broken out, and the boss tankbustered the healer and killed them. Then the DPS killed themselves on the Relfect damage the boss put up, and I was the only one alive at about 30%.

I then solo'd the rest of the fight, and since she wasn't able to tankbuster me twice per cycle because I'm not a valid target when I'm a doll, I was able to heal/mitigate myself enough through the other one, did it in about 4 more cycles.

So I could do it from 100%, but it would take a looooooong time.

We've been pretty dps-heavy throughout 3.0, early level 60 dungeons no exception. At least in the few long pulls still available we still at least need to do more than HoT / periodic Adlo.

Yup, it is indeed sad. Here is my second experiment after trying LCoA with WHM i76. I removed as much as I could without raising suspicion.




No danger whatsoever even with my 8k HP. I only had to heal a bit more and using cooldowns gave me room to dps.
