ELI5: How are the current dungeons hard?

[jdtuggey]

I agree with you about the tank buster part, but the raidboss AOEs now do quite a bit more than 10% damage ^^

If you're talking about AoE telegraphs that are avoidable, yes, they hurt a lot more. Dawntrail feels like it makes you more responsible for your mistakes.
All classes have tools to pad mistakes like that. You see the debuff on you, you pop bloodbath, you're gucci!

If you're talking about general AoE's that hit the party no matter what, they hit about as hard as dungeons ? But you have two healers, often shields up before they hit, etc..
In the end, I feel like I take less damage from these raidwides than in dungeons.

I was talking more about stuff like AOE bonking in M3 (especially once he drinks the bottle of whisky) and the line pewpew in M4.

For the former, can't you surecast that to maintain control ? It's about getting bonked into a longer fuse, waiting for the short fuses to blow, and then moving there.
The line pewpew, if you mean her last phase, as a dps I often feel the need to pop survival tools then to help out healers, but it does feel rather steady and predictable, and I could see myself dealing with that as a healer with the new tools they gave us in DT, feels like philosophia on sge is custom made for that sort of situation, and we had a lesser version of these mechanics in endwalker, and they gave us panhaima for it. For the whm, it's liturgy of the bell. Idk what they got at 100. x_x
If you mean the alternating phase on the thin platform, you already spelled out the solution we all use in a previous post. :P

I mean, I don't feel what am saying here even matters.
It's hard for me to connect with your perspective ? what would you actually like ? Do you understand that some of the things you pine for would be really detrimental to other players ? >//<
Sometimes you're "endwalker was fine", sometimes you're "ffxiv is all about visual puzzles, they should return to player power and skills", but endwalker was all about visual puzzles too ? except slower ones.

You wont even see that phase anymore in a few weeks, i already skipped it once because we had good dps an no one died.
