Massive relative damage increase with EW

[Legion88]

Also not even second add wave on the first boss

The second add wave on the first boss of Breylox was always an indicator.
In HW if you skipped the second wave you had top DPS.
Since SB it was an indicator for very subpar DPS, you literally needed a DPS to be not doing anything to get the second wave and even then you could skip it with only 3 man.

For me think I do less dmg than before. My lvl 80 dnc use to be able to almost one hit a lvl 80 and now only does 1/2 to 3/4 the amount of dmg.

EEEP don't tell them that maybe I could solo clear this old old old content.

I kind of wonder how this'll affect PoTD and HoH solo runs, hopefully it doesn't make it too easy otherwise that'll be kind of disappointing

The low floors in PotD and HoH especially are a lot easier = faster. It stays like that until 51 maybe even 60 for HoH. After that it mostly has the same difficulty, so it is not really much easier.

I like the damage increase, makes tedious dungeons go by quicker and allows for things like bardam's or doma to be wall pulled as well

Same, I think I can suffer tanks and healers being bored for faster tedious content.

I remember this absolute unit of a party I had the fortune of running into twice on Bardam's and Doma back in ShB. Wall to walled everything and I do mean everything, we melted enemies like butter on a frying pan.

Wherever that party is, I miss you :c

But also the opposite is inplace. We tried Odin in the open world version. He one-shotted even level 90 players. Tanks were also one-shot candidates.

Level 50 content definitely feels faster. Did Castrum and Brayflox Hard yesterday and both just melted.
But not noticing the same at levels 70 and 80.

Likely that after the stat squish they adjusted base damage to compensate at level 80 as a benchmark, which had the knock-on effect of making level 50 and below much easier.

Every expansion always introduces power creep, because of changed potencies, new jobs, and actions that didn't exist before the content was released. Even with a stat squish, that doesn't change much. There are even several skills that are percentage % based and with a squish, that's slightly more potency.

Also ended up in Ridorana via alliance roulette somehow, which took forever? Nearly twice as long as usual.
