Roulette offers no challenge.

[reality_check]

Most people are in ilevel 80-90 gear. It's strange that the most challenging roulette is the low level roulette.

Everything else is a complete faceroll, and it's mind numbing. Pharos Sirius was a good challenge level.

The new dungeons were engaging the first few runs, but unfortunately the difficulty level is far too low to remain engaging for anything "farm" worthy. I actually enjoyed landing on Pharos and developing new strategies each time for smoother runs each time.

The only mechanic I actually pay attention to in any of the roulettes now is Diabolos' Ominous Ruin, but unfortunately it only takes one person to carry a whole group through the whole fight.

What happened with this new dungeons?

They noticed that 3/4 of the playerbase immediately quit out of pharos when it popped.

this guy gets it.


if you want challenge, that is what raids and extreme trials are for. dungeons are not challenging by design.

Im just wondering how long untill they pull a WoW and make a rare drop mount be found only in Pharos. (Occulus anyone?)

I'd actually be ok with a rare mount dungeon drop, possibly more than one. As long as they aren't more unicorns.

The roulette is not suppose to be challenging for geared people. It is just busy work for you to farm mythology/soldiery.

However, there are people that just hit 50 and don't have the gear. And this is the purpose of the roulette, for the more geared and experienced people to help and teach the newer people on how to run these dungeons.

Or did not even unlock it. I did not run Pharos till 2.2 when I was forced to if i wanted the roulette bonuses for that set.

Friend never unlocked Mannor or Copperbell hard for the same reason. While these two areas were no where near as bad as Pharos they were still very hit or miss when it came to DPS that could actually clear the bosses. Basically another casualty of SE and setting iLVL's drastically to low.

Actually, Pharos Sirius was the opposite of a DPS check. All three bosses had mechanics that were a guaranteed wipe if you burned the boss too fast and/or ignored mechanics (these mechanics are still there but have been toned down a bit). Haukke HM and Copperbell HM just had some slightly unforgiving mechanics, but I never got a DF group that couldn't clear either of those places, though sometimes people had to be taught how.

Basically, the theme of that trio of dungeons was "Don't ignore adds!" because in all of them, especially Pharos, ignoring the adds would get the whole group killed.
