    What are you talking about? There's barely any instant deaths outside of hot and cold and super chess. The DPS check is such a joke that only a few people need to know how to do their rotations properly. There's no instant wipe mechanics outside of slimes and golems. It's still clearable if you have one or two permanent DCs.

    There's no mechanic in the fight where it's difficulty is close any of the mechanics at the end of the e9s fight. Even e1s and e5s was harder than all of DRS. They just called it Savage to scare the casuals away when in reality the hardest part about the fight is the logistics.

    Err, I do generally agree with your sentiment that the difficulty lies more in coordination than anything else, the fights are clearly more difficult in design than most experts. Id say in practice that TA is a harder fight than e10s from a purely mechanics issue. In e10s, you can fail multiple aspects of that fight and survive, possibly beat enrage. Hot/Cold failure is instant death, and there is always hte every looming threat you dont auto res. And unlike in savage where damage down or vuln stacks drop off, you are stuck with the doom stack until the boss is killed or you get to many and die. So while mechanics are generally not as hard as savage in many cases, it tends to punish you harder for your mistakes in others.

    Id say its a step between Savage and Expert Trials.

    What did you expected coming to the forums and complaining about your lack of friends and people who want to play with you? Get yourself a FC, set up a group for it and do your own thing if you don't want to deal with random people who might be toxic.

    The only thing that is holding you back is yourself.

    That user is nothing but hostility based on past posts, not worth responding to tbh, they aren't here to listen to opposing opinions.

    Because people that are bad at the game treat easy content like its super hard and serious.
