The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

[Amariel34]

For me personally, Dead Ends is nowhere NEAR as difficult as Shinryu was when SB first dropped. It took me 3 days to finally find a group that beat it, and it was almost a tie between him dying and the last person standing (healer) dying. I know they nerfed it at some point, but in the beginning it was HARD. But beating it was worth it.

They never actually made Shinryu easier. Even when people complained, they never made him easier and the response was basically, get good. After 2 expansions of action changes and higher ilevels, he goes down quickly now, just like everything else that is in the same boat.

Ah. I thought I saw something in the patch notes once they he was nerfed in some way. My mistake.
