Please scale the difficulty of Royal Menagerie

I just want to say that it's clearable with 2 decent tanks and a single healer. Long as you're killing the tail every time it pops you don't even need DPS. I know this because I've personally seen 3 or 4 of the DPS dead for almost the entire duration of the fight and still cleared.

There's no stacking damage buff/soft enrage.

As an aside, if they do nerf it, I won't shed too many tears. I had my fun with it.

Actually, there IS a soft enrage for Shinryu. Eventually, enough squares will be destroyed by Shinryu's tail that a Tidal Wave is guaranteed to knock you off the edge (unless you have something like Tempered Will to avoid the push). I was with a group last night via Mentor Roulette; DPS just couldn't stay out of the bad so we were pretty much running the fight with just tanks and healers. Was a long grind, and eventually there was no safe place to stand for Tidal Wave. Eventually that Tidal Wave came - and we barely managed a win anyway, thanks to dots and the Paladin using Tempered Will. Everyone else was off the edge, though.

Still, to address the original poster, these kinds of situations aren't very common. Most of the time when I wind up in Shinryu, folks are more than skilled enough to cover for one or two who struggle. Even at its current difficulty, Shinryu is quite doable, even by casual players.

Huh, I thought you could plan for where the tail lands to avoid things like this? The tail lands where the person with the green marker over their head stands. Granted I think Shinryu also takes a square away no matter what with his earth 100% aether skill, so that could count as a soft enrage, yeah.
