Favorite and least favorite HW dungeon?

[FinaSel]

Favorite : The Vault
Reason: It's the only dungeon in all of Heavensward where I actually need to pay attention to what I am doing. If I am DPS or Healer, it doesn't matter. I must focus. Also, because of level sync, bosses are still a little challenging. Every other dungeon, including new ones, have such easy boss fights now. I mean, Gubal HM final boss is often killed before Behemoth even appears...

Second favorite: Hullbreaker HM.
Reason: It's outdoors. It's colorful. It's different from the other dungeons. I think the concept is interesting and fun. I like the 2nd boss.

Least Favorite : Aetherochemical
Reason: It appears too often. SO tired of it. No treasure (I want it for desynthesis). Many people hate it, so tanks and healers sometimes don't focus, and people die.

least: sohm al

best: fractal continuum

Aesthetically, my favorite dungeons in HW have to be both Gubal Libraries; the environments have an interesting feel to them and are detailed in the right ways if you bother to look around. They both start off nearly identical (granted, it's the same location), but I like how the atmosphere in the HM version let's you know something's not quite right (complete with the slow beginning of the new remixed track). I also like how the two dungeons seemed to reverse their progression of atmosphere; whereas the normal mode you travel from something more seemingly normal to sinister/neglected in the basement, hard mode has you travel from something sinister (or ominous) to a more well-lit/maintained section on an upper floor.

My aesthetically least favorite dungeon is Hullbreaker HM, no matter how anyone justifies it to me, it feels like the least-inspired revisited dungeon with the excuse that it was turned into a training-ground area to do as little with it as possible and call it "new." All the barricades, gates, bridges and structures ruin a lot of the original beauty of the normal-mode area, and this dungeon makes the "hallway with mobs" feeling stick out to me more than any other dungeon did in HW.

Aesthetically and mechnically, Sohr Khai probably ranks number one for me. I also like The Lost City of Amdapor and Xelphatol is slowly growing on me. Least favorites would definitely be ARF, Antitower and Hullbreaker, if only because they gate pulls. It just feels so incredibly arbitrary when its not the trash mobs or bosses hitting too hard, but the devs basically saying "those four mobs are enough." Oddly, I love the gauntlet fight leading up to Mistbeard. Everything before it though? A complete bore.

If we're including story dungeons, The Vault and Aery jump into my top three. Both have some challenge at level, let you pull a fare bit and I rather like the atmosphere.

After running each dungeon many time for tomes I can honestly say I avoid running them all whenever possible >.> Every time we get new ones in the patch the fun usually lasts for 1-3 runs, for me, since they all follow the same simple formulaic recipe ._.

Yep, untill they move away from the: straght path with mobs -----> boss fight ------> straight path with mobs -----> boss fight.

The best HW dungeon is the Halloween Mansion, its random and requires some level of teamplay. I hope Christmas event will atleast be the same level or better.

me least favorite dungeon is the aetherofarming farmsearch farmcility(aka aetherochemical research facility), seriusly, SE needs to lower the reward of that place to make it still worth to run, but not to the point to farm it, it gets tiring to get that place every day for 3 months on the lvl 60 roulette thanks to all the people farming it, and the new relic astep isn't helping whit that
and me favorite one is saint mocianne's arboterum

What is your favorite, and least favorite dungeon in the heavensward expansion? What do you hope for in the second one?

Sohm Al. For some reason I hate this dungeon. Love the final boss. Hate the dungeon.

My favorite is tied between The Vault and GL Hard Mode. Just so much fun

Halloween Dungeon isn't a Heavensward dungeon

You don't need Heavensward to run it

Favorite(s):
Antitower because it's just so....calm. Though Calcabrina is still not something I wanna see before I log off for sleep. Also, being a FFIX fan, it's a nice callback to Ispen's Castle. Plus, still not over that David Bowie reference even after all this time.
Allagan Disco Facility- I mean, Aetherochemical Research Facility and Fractal Continuum, because Allagan. Allagan everything!
Lost City HM
Gubal Library, NM is the only one I've ran so far since I'm taking my time to get used to swapping main jobs and learning rotations. Though HM might be up there as well just from what I've seen.

Least Favorite(s):
Saint Mocianne's, though I deal with it because it's pretty. I may not like it overall, but it's pretty.
Vault, especially if you get those types who just refuse to move apart (or move at all) for the fire chains. Which I tend to run into quite often.
