Here we go again

I'm genuinely confused about what people are finding difficult about this dungeon compared to other dungeons. I've seen a lot of people say they found it hard because it was "too fast," but what was too fast? Like what mechanic specifically was tripping you up? And how many times did you try it before giving up? I ask this without judgment, I just want to understand that perspective.

Edit: Also were you playing with Trusts or other players? Or did you try both, and if so how did the experience differ?

I think it's called "Serial Torture" and it's the blades -> giant spiked balls x3 -> blades from the other direction sequence.

I kept moving to the safe spot for the blades and forgetting that the spiked balls need to drop FIRST. moving out of the path of the second set of blades would get me splatted by the balls.

I went through as healer the first time, expecting to be able to learn from the Duty Support NPCs, but since each role gets a slightly different set of mechanics.... that didn't help. Healer has to deal with a unique Doom at some point, though.

Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you identified what you were doing wrong and how to correct it, so do you mind if I ask what got in the way of putting that knowledge into action and dodging correctly on a following attempt? Additionally, since you were on a healer did you try pre-shielding yourself for the mechanic and/or having a heal ready so that you would have more wiggle room for mistakes?

First run through on healer, got it on the third try.

First run through on DPS I was struggling mightily - and realized the timing issue only for a friend go to, "hey you wanna do some maps?" Since I was in with the Trusts I abandoned and went back out.

Bout to try it again with the Trusts. Once I'm convinced I won't immediately die during that mechanic, I'll give Expert roulette a whirl again.

Oh congrats, I'm glad you got it!
