New Dungeon is a return to bad habits

[WhensMarvel]

If they want to make braindead dungeons and people like them, that's fine, all I ask is that you give me more options to cap my weekly tomestones in a reasonable time frame that result in me not having to do these dungeons. If your first weekly clear of savage floors each week gave a large amount of bonus tomes like expert roulette, for example, I would never need to step into content that I dislike and the people who like the easy stuff can just keep it.

And yeah, I know about hunt trains, but my processor can't keep up with them usually so I get left behind

So I went back to heal Mistwake since it's the only role I hadn't played it yet, and it is p simple, and I only died once during the 1st boss since I didn't react fast enough to hide behind the pillar in time. Then I admit it's difficult to do an interesting dungeon since even when I was tanking, we had 1st timers, and I explained all the mechanics, we still had a few deaths during that time too. Also, I know everyone will get better ilvl gears but I don't want forced ilvl sync'd down unless it's for story themes like The Dead Ends and some trials.

Also, I still say if ppl are bored with EXDR we have other options like current Ex Doom Train or even old Savage/Trials MINE in PF listings will show up often along with Ults if they are dedicated and have enough of time to wait for hours in PF. Finally I even know some ppl have CAR, FT1, and V&C listings along with P44 options for PT is there too.

The last boss basically has 2 mechanics... multi direction orbs firing and a dash.

Also, guess what the second boss has? orbs firing in multiple directions, and a dash.

It's like the designer finished the second boss on Friday. Went on a huge bender, came back Monday and forgot what he did with the second boss and just went, holy molly! I bet we can do something with orbs and dashes for this dungeon.

Funny how OP claims they can "afk the bosses while watching youtube" when the first boss will outright wipe the party almost at the start of the fight if people don't pay attention.

The first boss is not hard by any stretch of the imagination, but the mechs aren't optional.

Oh definitely, the boss is easypeasy. As is the last boss of Grand Cosmos. But both bosses have mechs that are mandatory to pay attention with in order to avoid a wipe.

Really? You're going to tell me you can't be primarily watching youtube on a second monitor while barely moving behind a rock?

I can't help but laugh at how it sounds like it's such a dangerous move when you phrase it that way. It probably wasn't your intent. But you have like half an hour to dodge the most delayed and telegraphed AOE in the whole instance.

I make it sound like such a dangerous move because it is; you also have plenty of time to dodge the most delayed and telegraphed AOEs with the Lugus fight in Grand Cosmos, but much like the Treno Catoblepas, not paying attention can and will result in creating a situation where a wipe is guaranteed shortly after. The mechanics certainly aren't difficult, complicated, or fast, but they ARE mandatory and require paying a bit more attention than just "dodge the bad". And unlike Lugus who only uses Mortal Flame twice, Treno Catoblepas will continue to break a stalagmite and follow up with Bedeviling Light, so not only do you need to pay attention, but you also need to press your buttons because the fight essentially has a hard enrage, albeit a very lax one.

This is really what we've come to huh. Wow... I can't...

First boss did catch me out with the petrification cast first time i did it, because I'm not used to casts meaning much in casual content lol.

Though Its kinda fun how PLD can outright save a ally through cover, makes me feel like cover is actually useful.
