Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Here you go I synced and solo'd The Burn as WAR. Even the darling of SB dungeon difficulty is a former shadow of itself.

Full disclosure I wiped 3 times:
1. A careless raw intuition mistake on a double trash mob pull
2. And 2 times to figuring out how the hell to survive the add phase during the final boss because I couldn't meet the DPS check as solo WAR. Something that wouldn't have happened if I had even one more person doing something.

What ends up happening is you end up encased in ice and the boss starts casting a TB on you. Kind of cruel.

If this is soloable I'm sure every dungeon past this is too unless there's some incredibly cheap mechanic that forces multiple people being alive.

I just wished the games core design was more fun than this. We always have to go looking for scraps of difficulty here and there. And I don't want savage or Extreme level difficulty everywhere either. Just midcore is fine. If everything was around the difficulty level of original CLL I would be happy.

I even made several mistakes too, I didn't have to be perfect. For example during the first boss I had to reply to an email so I just end up standing in AOE's by accident and in the second boss I got rolled into the firewall for not paying attention to the carts.

Here is the video of the clear:

Sounds more like a need to nerf the crap out of tank heals over anything really.



Even during arr I solod some stuff on PLD. First and 2nd bosses of halatali hm for instance.



Yes, healing and tanking needs to be adjusted. I hate how tanks are just dps with high HP and defense in this game. At least in arr there was more interaction with your defensive skills in raids..



I miss those days and it's why I just play a dps now, at least in raids. I was a tank main (PLD) from ARR launch until Stormblood. After that it's just been dps for the most part.
