If they dialed back the damage, then I think new players would have more chance to recover and a better chance of being able to react properly to the next mechanic. When I talk to new players I have helped guide they say there is just so much going on and they're dead before they know it.
    You mean like with Thordan where the mechanics were so trivial any decent player ignored half of them? I've literally stood in his cleaves and it barely tickles. Fights with little to no consequence only instill further bad habits because your mistakes aren't punished. Royal Menagerie is an easy enough fight, it just demands you actually pay attention and do its mechanics instead of playing a game of "how long can I go without healing the tank?"
