    Entering an empty Steps of Faith

    Did happen to someone else? My guess were when last member leaves, instance being cleared.

    But not, my "in progress" DF take me to an empty map with all mobs at start kissing me. Quite wrong. Reported as bug but wonder if this is intended...

    Once your duty pops, it remains open until you enter/withdraw it, even if people leave it while your 45 seconds are ticking down or you are loading inside. You simply had a bad luck and all people left it while you were commencing the duty.

    Solution is to not queue in progress for trial roulette, SoF happens so often because that's what people leave the most out of all trials.

    I'm really not sure why people hate this fight as much as they do. if tanks follow the correct strategy, this trial is generally easier than almost any extreme primal is.

    Tank takes big adds, holds them at the entrance, as far away from boss as possible.

    3 dps focus on boss, 1 healer and 1 dps on cannons, other healer on the tanks.

    dps on cannon gets DK, healer gets both snares with sprint.
    Speaking from the perspective of someone with over 30 clears of it, Steps of faith is cake. I would rather do steps, than even Garuda EX.

    Because many people are horribly incompetent in this fight and you can't reset it even after a fail is inevitable. It's often faster to eat the penalty and requeue (hoping you get something else) than spend 45+ minutes in SoF.

    Having done this a couple of time and only successfully running it once, I have never heard or read of this strategy. I like the concept of the battle, one of the more intense battles for sure. I'll have to give this strategy a try next time I run it.

    Honestly, I'd still do this fight over TitanEx... Just my opinion though.

    I love this fight even if it becomes a wipefest. BGM is almost price of admission and really puts my positional skills as a monk to the test.

    i like this fight reminds of the last fight on monster hunter, where you have to stop lao shan from breaking the last line of defense with a wall of spears, i hope to see more like this instead of tank and spank bosses
