Sadistic mechanic to Casual Dungeons?

[EdwinLi]

So out of fun what do you think could be the most sadistic thing SE developers can add into new Dungeons?

I think the incorporation of a Reflect AoE Attack Mechanic on Trash mob may be the most sadistic thing they could add to casual content. It will drive so many people mad and crazy they they can't AoE trash mobs anymore without killing themselves.

(Sorry been playing Shadow Fight 3 and developered a liking to fighting Hard "Casual" level content)

To be fair, probably wouldn't be that sadistic for a lot of DPS, since so many seem allergic to their AOE skills. ;v

As for mine....incorporating arbitrary stun mechanics in dungeons, a la V3S Spellblade Holy. Or Mindjack mechanics. That'd go over real well in the 4-mans. >.>

Something like Gerogero/Fake President from FFVIII where enemies are required to be healed to 'die' in addition to dealing with normal dungeon boss mechanics. Given the amount of tunnel vision healers we have in this game such an inclusion would definitely be sadistic. (Seriously though, I'm not advocating for this. The mere idea gives me a full body shudder.)

Add a jumping puzzle inside the dungeon. [/thread]

Make it so if you drop below 99% health, you get banned from the game for 100 years.

Brings back memories of Blackfathom Depths in vanilla wow. So many people had serious issues with jumping over that stupid bridge.

Landmines. Landmines everywhere. Even boss battles. Especially in boss battles with a lot of damaging AoE.

They tried something somewhat sadistic with the pre-nerf Pharos Sirius : strong adds that appear based on boss health. So, burn down the boss (isn’t that the trend, burn the boss and ignore mechanics?) and get swamped with adds.

Then they had to go and nerf it.

A real dps check.

Just more mechanics which force us to go back to the basics. Mob not stunned? Say goodbye to your tank. Debuff not dispelled? Looks like it just exploded to heal all the mobs back to full. Also threat resets, uses for Rescue and MP/TP reduction mechanics. Basically I'd like some creative dungeon mechanics which require using role skills and support abilities and not just mindlessly dps'ing everything. That would be truly sadistic in the eyes of many. :P
