Steps of Faith needs an ilevel raise...

Don't let that Dreadwyrm fool you. Seen plenty a Final Witness suck at SoF.

You know, they could just be running it blind - playing catch-up beacuse they've been neglecting the MSQ. I know a few people that are working in T13, yet haven't touched the Chrysalis.

I used to think Steps of Faith was difficult, until I took on a new perspective.

That was only Vishap.

Nidhogg's on his way.

I'd be more scared if yiazmat is part of the 7 dragon group

Things

There are still people not capable of clearing Titan Ex even with ilvls at 130. Now, there are a few factors to keep in mind with Steps of Faith. Steps of Faith is more about communication and teamwork. In fact if done right Steps can and is solo healed/tanked meaning very little damage is coming in to the team. The point is ilvl has little to do with it. This game is designed around not failing to dodge/avoid instant kill mechanics. You can focus on ilvl all you want but it is irrelevant. Case in point people with an ilvl of 130 still are unable to clear places such as T5 or any of the Primal ex fights.

Oh wow this is still a topic. The answer is no. It will receive some mechanic nerf in the near future probably but that's it. Eventually the players who Know the fight will out weigh the new and this will be another mindless zzzz encounter.

This trial isn't even about ilvl. Cannons are the main DPS, and your people on them could be ilvl 1 and you'd still win. I don't know why people don't get that.

[Anna_Lannis]

I did the fight the day it came out and after two hours of failed attempts, i spoke up and suggested I and another tank do the cannons. I also volunteered to do the dragonkiller missles and had someone else run the cannon/snares, because other people suck at using the dragonkiller missles. Long after I got my clear, I still go into the encounter and had a DPS point blank tell me that he doesn't care if I know a fight back to front, WHM is HPS bot onry(paraphrasing). Maybe if most DPS weren't tunnel vision players maybe I wouldn't have to take up the slack for them. But 90% of DPS are goons that expect people to
do the thinking for them.

[Felis]

It is a teamwork fight but having that gear means you have some idea of how to play your class, what moves you can use and you have done the dungeons where all those dragons strats COME from.

Increasing ilevel will still not help.
What can help a little is making Stone Vigil (hard) a requirement for it. It will teach people that the turtles are stunnabe and that you should use cannons if there are cannons to use.

Every time I see a Steps of Faith is too hard thread popup I die a little inside. This is a cold hard reminder that game devs are FORBIDDEN to design content that makes a player think even if the thought process involved is very small and insignificant.

Gamers who don't want to think are destroying the industry because game devs can't get creative with their gameplay designs due to player brain capacity limitations. I'm sick of this crap.
