Judging the difficulty of two different mechanics is subjective though. The only thing that makes the dragon at nm bray a little harder is for a scholar that doesn't have a dispel, I even played it as a scholar and it wasn't as "punishing" as people claim. The difficulty of nm is reacting to surroundings and deciding the best path. The difficulty of HM is fast reaction and a dps check. Two completely different things.
