Skipped the last mechanic in Aglaia (The cinematic one)

It's kind of what they get for making the Alliance Raids as easy as they do...

But the only counter solution to that design the team seems to have is giving the bosses more HP. Which ultimately doesn't really make the bosses that much harder, just longer.

This but at the same time I'm not going to complain when it comes to Aglaia because of the amount of trolls I've seen with the scales. One person wiping the entire party at the last minute because they feel like it isn't fun.

I haven't seen more than a couple of people intentionally wipe the raid with the scales since it was released, but I do see a lot of people going back and forth to mess with the whole alliance. They usually stand still in the right spot when the time for weighing comes though.

Except Aglaia wasn't stupidly easy back when the max ilevel was 600. It was never exactly hard, but it wasn't "shut your brain off after the second run" like dungeons are.

The best thing they could do is synch everyone to whatever max ilevel was when the raid came out once the new gear tier drops. They already do this with 90 dungeons.

Yes it was. I remember threads being brought up about just how little challenge it posted and how people were breezing through it week 1. Euphrosyne is the same. Not hard at all.

Yes having more HP just so people are stuck in an encounter doesn't make it more engaging. So many people think higher level 24 mans are so much better. It is just bosses have more HP and you are stuck playing whack a pinata. If the mechanics changed as the time progressed that would be different, but they don't. It should be balanced for roughly 20 players actually playing and so boss can do all mechanics.

I think they should just bring back boss invulnerability if they get down low enough before certain mechanics. That would fix the issue with Aglaia and Endsinger.

Yuck and yuck again. Nothing says fun like standing around because you are doing too well for the fight. This is one of the worst mechanics in the game, "Sorry your dps is too high sit here and watch the boss" I can't even believe people would suggest let alone support this. The only thing wore then this was 1.0s you played too much so we are going to punish you by lowering the xp you get.If the boss has too many mechanics and can't get through all of them at set HP points redesign them or reduce them.
