Genuine Question: What Are People Struggling With in DT? (Spoilers allowed)

[Palladiamors]

I'm a semi hardcore raider and have been since SB. What I struggle with in DT already started in EW: fast visual puzzles, in any type of difficulty, be it teacups or superchain theory. The game is changing into directions that legitimately challenge me for the first time in its history.

To add to this, it's the layering that tends to get me. Boss is going to attack in a checkered pattern...now half of that is going to be covered up by a half arena attack... now half of that is going to be covered up by a left to right tidal wave...now the boss is going to slam down on your location. Oh and this is a storyline dungeon boss, hardcore bosses now add DDR to their attack patterns.

Forgot to mention all the visual flair going off during it.

I didn't struggle too bad this expansion but it was definitely more irritating than previous ones.

Which boss are you talking about ? I can see all of the mechanics you describe on different bosses in DT leveling dungeons, but not all on the same, and certainly not packed into a single set of mechanics...
Concerning visual flair, setting other players to "limited" in your character menu concerning their anims clears the screen a lot, it helps immensely.
When I switched that on back in early endwalker, I realized how much I was missing prior. ;o;
