Minimum requirements for the new Expert dungeons (Snow/Qarn/Sastasha)

[Hobolina]

I’m not too sure if this is a DPS issue or a healing issue, I reckon the new expert dungeons are cruel in regards to DPS, it’s extremely punishing or is it just me? We end up reaching spamming/increasing stacks with the boss STILL at a good 30%.
After thinking about it I figured out it was the new system in regards to the old myth gear that drops from expert. I always hear friends/players struggling because they’re heavily undegeared, and they can't do expert even though it drops the good stuff because it’s too hard.

We need to move the antique/hero pieces down to high-level and implement a higher requirement for these new expert dungeons to balance everything out and make it fairer to the new kids playing this game. I've had many parties that were forced to kick players because they weren't dpsing enough..it's not fair.

Are you sure it's not because of their actual skill with the class? I've seen some i90 geared players who do good damage on the bosses simply because they know their rotation. Skill > Gear most of the time, though I admit gear really does help.

No amount of gear can compensate for people to dont know how to use their class to the fullest. The new dungeons are not really that hard, they require more out of the dps with certain mechanics compared to the previous dungeons but that is about it. EDIT to clarify, i have seen people at around i105ish not being able to handle the mechanics of these new dungeons properly and wiping the group, as well as people at these ilvls not being able to use their class properly. Ilvl is sometimes (most times) overshadowed by player skill.

i90 gear is also available from the MB if people think this is an issue about gear alone.

Even ilvl 100 and 110 is not that hard to access for new players. You can attain these very quickly now but it seems more some people just don't pull their weight even if their gear is the average. You don't even need that high damage just the ability to put out the damage quickly so it's more skill based than anything. These are not difficult dungeons a single skilled DPS can carry the entire run by themselves.
