    Only really hate sasti but with a good team that one goes fast as well. I want more of these and higher difficulty dungeons. Let's face it without wipes they are balanced for a 30 min clear. And they are clearable in that time or even faster if the people are good without actually trying for a speed run.

    Hehe people always ready to blame tanks and healers because haven't done this or that, but the time it happens dps must do something different than mindlessly pushing skills that are not on cd, 90% of duty populations screws there and cry about difficulty too hard.

    DPS never mindlessly push skills not on cool down. Ever. It does not matter if your close range or long range DPS, what you said is simply not true. DPS are generally treated as cannon fodder in that they do not get priority in healing and they have to fend for themselves more so than healers and tanks. They have to dodge more AoEs and mobility and quick thinking is a much higher requirement than say for tanks. In fact the easiest job in the game (not just coming from me but from all the tanks I know) is tanking in which you have three main priorities, position mobs, keep aggro and occasionally switch between OT and MT due to debuff's on some instances, dodging boss attacks is quite often not required and actually frowned upon because it alters the position of the boss though there are some exceptions.

    On the threads topic however I do not think the new dungeons are too hard or any harder than a lot of older ones, when know and learn the mechanics of a fight the rest is simple. One thing will add is the Krakken is a little odd, not hard just a little odd. The trick groups I am in tend to use is simply killing one side of tentacles and then attacking boss, rinse and repeat. We don't see a reason to go running all over map to pick off them all and while boss takes more time to down than would think due to how fast the tentacles respawn making DPS time on the boss shorter than ideally would like...it is possible to do the fight quite quickly still. If I was going to change anything I would make the tentacle spawn time longer but it is not needed and is just a preference.

    Was called bitching about wanting the dps to focus more on position the ads for the snowball fight and not hit the yeti... because he can be downed on the first round if you hit all the spriggians each time (which is about ~1min). if dps were left to kill the yeti alone it takes like 10 plus mins lol... no not every hit counts >.> have fun not being pressured to MAX OUTPUT ZOMG and PLAY WITH THE SPRIGGIANS!!!

    lol @ person above me who cannot read.

    Never said DPS was hard. Said it was harder than tanking and that every tank I know says the same thing. Said the claim that all DPS do is mindlessly push skills is inaccurate, fact is no class or job just stands there mindlessly pushing skills, any that do would die and die constantly. The job that comes closest to standing there spamming skills is tanking if any were to be claimed did so, even then it would still not be true that they actually do that on the whole since they do have to move to pick up bosses and adds, occasionally switch between OT and MT plus on some occasions actually dodge some attacks even if not the case for most.

    Yeah, I honestly wouldn't call any of the new dungeons hard.
    Personally, my biggest issue with them is that they're not very fun and due to the way they're set up feel like they drag on for a while.

    Only the final boss in Sastasha HM bugs me because it takes forever and it's really boring. Some of Snowcloak can drag like the part where mobs crash through the wall and you need to stand around killing them.
