    Seriously, non savage mobs hit like wet noodles with self esteem issues.
    I guess you skipped Bardem's Mettle and Holminster Switch. Seriously some of you 'savage raiders' need to like gone some where, because you forgot how the rest of the game actually plays.

    Oh nooo, a couple dungeons with harder than usual hitting mobs.
    A minuscule amount of such dungeons doesn't change the fact that a majority of mobs in this game don't hit that hard. Even if a tank isn't using their CDs on a trash pull you can still find time to DPS in just about every engagement. And I'm not even a raider lol, I'm fairly casual.

    I mean, when a lot of players running expert dungeons are 40-60 ilvls ahead of the minimum to enter, it does makes for a massive difference in experience.

    That's rich, considering you're apparently skipping every level cap dungeon. But let's pretend like a couple of leveling dungeons per expansion are "the rest of the game".

    Some of you 'casuals' need to actually pay attention to the game and go out of your comfort zone, not cower in fear of every little difficulty bump.

    To be fair, leveling dungeons will usually be harder than expert roulette dungeons simply because of leveling curve.

    If you were i400 going into Hominster with DPS that can hit aoe buttons it's a cake walk. Not a common feat today.

    Bardam's Mettle and Holminster Switch's mobs hit microscopically harder than other dungeons. I still find plenty of time to spam art of war or gravity in big pulls on said dungeons, which - to be frank? Is most of those pulls. I'm not even a savage raider.

    Bardem's Mettle only hit hard if you did the super pull otherwise it was standard dungeon trash. Holminster Switch requires a little extra healing but nothing much. It was only rough on Astro in 5.0 because Astro healing was laughably weak compared to White Mage and Scholar.

    And before you ask, I've tanked and healed both dungeons; doing the latter in sub i400 gear. And I'm not a great healer by any stretch.
