Ah yes, the era of 2.x. When Swiftcast required you to get THM to lv32, leaving many healers without it. When people Fate-trained to 50, giving you the era of CNJ queuing for Stone Vigil and onward. The time of Brayflox status struggles for SCH, WARs without Provoke. Hell, I'll take you way back: Pre-2.2 WAR. That just sucked.

Back when Amdapor Keep had bees or pre-nerf Twintania or Pharos Sirius. I don't remember ARR being any more difficult than any current MSQ stuff but it's definitely waaaaaaaay easier nowadays than before. I still remember when Overpower had an obnoxiously long animation and Flash gave the slightest of enmity.

I had to ask my tanks back then if it was okay to triple flare. And if they were okay with that if it was okay to triple flare under the effects of an int oot and raging strikes.

X| So many deaths.
