Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[XenabelleS]

I genuinely don't get what is hard about the Burn. Is it the part where you Esuna?

Well I got in it expert recently as a RDM with a tank who said he was new.

So I tried to explain some things about each of the bosses - annoyingly dc'd during the first boss, but the group got it down. Same actually with the second boss. Then we got to the dragon.

And wiped and wiped and wiped until the healer quit, we got a new one and proceeded to one shot it.

So the things that made it hard :

Unfamiliarity by the tank
Maybe not the best healer?
Lots of aoes that appear out of nowhere (for instance, I just recently learned that the beams that turn you into ice come out from those stars on the ground), when the dragon flies up there is no way to discern where his path will be that I can see)

I really don't get the OP. Game is plenty challenging as it is and can't really imagine why they'd want it to be more so.

I never thought I'd read that expert is "challenging" especially as RDM, colour me surprised, at least you are enjoying the game.

Edit: The AoE you were getting hit by "out of nowhere" is one you have plenty time from the snowflake tell prior to when it shoots out, thats what that tell is there for assuming you mean the Burns last boss, hopefully that helps, you have to read where it will shoot out and determine a safe spot based on where the arrows will travel from the origin point.

This one is simple. Just Sprint around the edge of the arena. When you get close to where he's hovering, his trajectory appears. Usually, if you've 'found' his position, you'll be in a safe spot.
