Thread: Please Buff 2.4 Dungeons

Bards have shadowbind, smn has miasma and tri disaster, blm has sleep, monks have 1lp and AOD, Drgs have..oh wait.... It's not enough to increase hp and dmg proportionately and throwing some reskinned mobs into new hm dungeons. There needs to be some interesting mechanics like the ones in Sunken temple and Aurum Vale. You know, making players actually use the abilities they have at their disposal.

A simple example off the top of my head would be a trash pack of 3 mobs would have a leader and his hp and dmg is buffed by 300% if he is within 8 yalms of the other 2, effectively 1 shotting the tank. So groups either have to sleep the leader and kill the other 2 mobs or kite the leader away from the other 2 and killing them first. I'm sure there are many more examples that they can think of instead of AOEing everything down to kingdom come.
