Pharos Siruis was too difficult in relation to the gear it dropped. At the entry level (which is ilvl48 btw) it should be very challenging (which it still is) but not completely impossible (which it was) in this case of both this place and Haukke HM.

I don't know if they've changed Haukke HM aswell but the dps check on the final boss was too brutal for people in i48 to get past.
