The Heroes' Gauntlet is yet another misstep in the trend to make all content hardcore

[Demoniun]

For players who just want to do the story, there shouldn't be any mechanic that will insta-kill you, period. Even when playing with trusts, the Necromancer can insta-kill you if you did not know that the corpses will explode soon, since the trust NPCs sometimes just put the corpses together. That means you get hit 4 times and die... The issue is there is no yellow AOE indicator and that mechanic is totally new so unless you look up a MrHappy or MTQ guide there's no way to know how that mechanic works... After so many people complained about Mist Dragon how come Square Enix still insists on making dungeons harder and harder? Please stop lol

Are you serious or a troll? Because mechanics are NEW to ALL player on a NEW DUNGEON. It means: you wipe one time, you learn the mechanic, you remember HOW the mechanic works and that's all, you won't do the mistake again. Or you wanna do 1/1 because you're in a hurry? If you have enough time to watch cutscenes (or gpose), you have time to wipe one try.

Are you serious or a troll?

Can't he be both?

Imagine that you perceive satirical trolling as a vital public service, and you're quite serious about your duty in that regard. See? Dilemma resolved.
