Dungeon item level requirements are a bit off

[Yenn]

I just had a group for hard mode Haukke Manor, where both of the DPS were just at the required item level.

They didn't do anything particularly wrong, their rotations were okay, etc. and they just didn't have the DPS for the last boss. I think maybe it should be adjusted a little bit.

I can agree that 47 flat might be too low, but I've seen people act as if someone who isn't sporting an Ifrit weapon ought to just not bother with Haukke.

On the final boss, splitting your DPS on the second wave of adds can make the chance of an instant wipe from Blood Rain go down considerably. She grabs one add and then a few seconds later grabs the next, so unless your DPS is very well geared, you're going to risk taking 4k+ on the second Blood Rain. If you split DPS, chances are the first add in the wave will cause a 2k-ish AE and the second one will be <900, even with low DPS. Melee limit break on the third add and then burn it down.

Yeah it can be done. Remember, gear level requirements are the "minimum" that you need if you play it very well. Few will be successful at that level, but SE wants to give people the opportunity to try as soon as they can. If everything could be cleared easily the first time, the game would not be worth playing.

I do agree that some of the ilevel requirements for the new dungeons are a bit off... It hasn't happened yet, but I completely DREAD the idea to get a group for the new dungeon (Sirius something? can't remember the name) where everybody is just barely meeting the ilevel requirement...

I've never had a problem with Haukke Manor HM until yesterday... and today. Used to be able to clear it as fast as WP, but I've had bad luck the last two times I've done it where we've been unable to kill the last boss. She always ends up eating someone before we can kill her (after she does the room-wide aoe twice) and we wipe and then run out of time trying to kill her over and over. (It sucks to spend 90 minutes in a dungeon and not even get any tomes for it. @_@) My average gear level is 78, but it doesn't help if the other DPS is too low.

Slightly related, the last boss in Haukke Manor is really gear-unfriendly. We ran it with all i88/90 and my DoTs pushed her to eat the last add within seconds of spawning it, resulting in instant death.

I agree I just had a team that couldn't beat the first boss in Sirius.. the PLD Tank was fine with over 6k hp and I am full BiS SCH but I cannot tank 8 wolves.. that's just impossible. The DPS was just way too low.

Your DPS just isn't getting off the boss at all if there are more than 4 wolves up at any given time.

I haven't actually done Sirius yet, but from what I've gathered on the forums, aren't the adds spawned at boss HP percents? As in, the only reason there should be so many up is if people are just ignoring them entirely?
