Please don't nerf the HM dungeons

it looked like they are only changing siren. While I don't think she is particularly hard a lot of healers seem inept at dealing with her.

actually I do have one complaint. her charge is too difficult to see. a yellow casting aura on a yellow back drop?

The hardest thing about healing Siren is dealing with a tank that is incapable of interrupting her Insanity cast. >_< Had that, combined with dps who didn't want to get in the middle of the room when she did her teleport aoe, and it made the mind control debuff so stupid. xD

But, I mean, that's just people doing the fight wrong haha.

I'm not sure I'd use such harsh language, but I agree in that I don't really understand why people freak out so much over Pharos Sirius. The mechanics are extremely simple; you just need to be aware of them. The boss fights are slightly more involved than WP, but I see that as a good thing. Dull tank and spank bosses make for a dull run. But really, what's so hard about "Kill the adds as they spawn and avoid the growing patches of yellow fire" or "kill one egg each time they try to hatch and kill the adds" or "kill the adds (crawlers first), either move to the center or avoid the charge, and interrupt a single ability"?

Trouble is those adds on the first boss in Pharos actually have quite a bit of health and less able players simply cannot kill them fast enough no matter how much you try to explain the mechanics to them.

I agree, it doesn't need to be nerfed. I honestly think the two HM dungeons are perfectly fine how they are and where they stand in the progression. That said, Pharos Sirius is much too difficult for where they place it. I think they need to up the ilvl to 55 and make it drop gear better than ilvl 60. It seems to me like ilvl 75 gear would be a good placement for it. It gives us a chance to have more sets, gives an extra stepping stone while waiting every week for CT and Coil, and it's difficult enough to where the average player needs a few pieces of DL to clear it anyway.

Although I have to admit, I'm against nerfing it mostly because it's one of my favorite dungeons to heal >.>

They spawn based on the boss's health. If you're getting overwhelmed by adds, someone is dpsing the boss when they shouldn't be.

We have a winner!

It's a fight designed to teach DPS to back off and avoid tunnelvisioning. Apparently that is "too hard".

Pharos Sirius is the dungeon I hate to get most of all and im ilvl 85 tank. The loot is useless to me , I only do dungeons for the tomes so I take path of less resistance which means If I get this dungeon Im usually better off going for a 30 min smoko break.

I feel so happy just with the fact that I'll probably never run content together with you...

same.

pharos isn't even hard...it's just not that forgiving to screw ups.

...and then people complain when they play with people who are noobs and dont know what to do -_-

they were going to anyway.

it would also help if there was some sort of in-game help feature. like something that gives you pre battle hints on what the boss's attack style is and/or other things to look out for. not everyone bothers to look up youtube videos. so make it easier for those that don't.

Hell no. You go into the dungeon blind, get your head kicked in by the boss and you learn from it. Repeat as necessary.
