4.4 dungeons are a step in the right direction

[Yshnal]

They both looked as easy as usual to me, and I went with a job with only i355 (and just with randoms). We died due to not being familiar to some of the mechanics, but nothing to worry about. However, I'm glad that people like them better.

None of these dungeons are even half as hard as they were in the past. I barely remember running out of time to complete them, nor doing it in the last seconds. I wouldn't like to push that on everyone, but maybe we could get Extreme versions of the dungeons, as someone suggested, that were as hard as the old ones (prior to the nerfs, I mean). If they ask me, I would even link them to the relic so that we can get rid of the mindless grind (like the original ones in ARR with Titan HM and all? Yes, please!). It would be easier to implement and way more fun than Diade... I mean... Eureka.

Heh...nothing beats 2.1 dungeons to this very day, with pharos being so difficult that the first boss was nerfed and still kicked your behind, and the final boss making healers cringe and leave the place immediately.
Also Copperbell HM, with the final boss being super hard if you hadn't at least one ranged dps...that was fun!
And Haukke Manor, oh boy, the final boss required positioning and a lot of burst dps, it was so thrilling and exciting.

These new dungeons will be slightly harder for the next few days, but in a matter of weeks everyone will breeze through them without breaking a sweat.

Now if we could only get legitimate "savage dungeons" perhaps...

pharos wasn't hard, it was badly tuned, means if you was overgearing the dungeon (that was means for be done in i50) you was screw by the first boss add spawn. and if you remember we had largely the time to get full i70-90 before the 2.1 come out...
means the dungeon was badly designed and not reflecting how the game must be tuned. if you plan the dungeon to be done in a certain range of ilevel you don't make it almost impossible to be done if you are at the top tier of the ilevel of this tier.

yes the dungeon are not extremely hard, actually i found them quite easy, outside the last boss of the burn that is clearly a healer fight and recquire to be good at avoid aoe... is not that hard. the trouble is most player have take the habit to overgear the dungeon expert and make them hit the wall when the mechanic ask to play correctly.

I've done both dungeons multiple times at 368... It's really easy at that point. Haven't even had anyone die. The mechanics are definitely more interesting, but they haven't felt any harder to me.

Hm...seems that I may have regressed a bit if I found these slightly more difficult, whereas everybody else found them faceroll as usual. Well, wishful thinking that the next set of dungeons have a stronger bite to them, yes?

Doubt it, this isn't WoW :P

I went there with my group of people ranging from 340 to 350 iLvl, and we GOT OUR BUTTS HANDED TO US by the Mist Dragon. We wiped non-stop all the way until the timer kicked us out, TWICE!

Granted, our gear is far from perfect, I suppose we're very close to minimum IL. But man. did we take a beating...

[Jib]

1 shot it on duty finder. Did go with my 361 whm and I could see the other players where experienced. There where a few deaths, a bit of chaos on last boss of the burn but it was very fun. It did feel a bit harder than the usual. I liked it a lot. Again it was fun

What was that water valve mechanic on the Arboretum? The water will wash the mud away from the mobs making them easier to kill or something?

[Voidedge_Ragna]

Pulled wall to wall blind ... again to many gates ... as a tank and healer i loathe gates that tell me "this is enough "

We had a almost wipe on the slimeking in which the war soloed the last 50% burn went w/o deaths.

Burn felt nicer imo and the music was decent compaired to forest which i had to mute.

[dragonkyn20]

I liked the Burn a lot as a dungeon, but I didn't consider it at all difficult.

Yeah, it's no more difficult than any other dungeon released with new tome gear. It's just the usual difficulty spike that gets alleviated as you raise your item level.
