Hello, too make this short, I did the into the dark quest with the ogre for a while before I quit...and came back for 1.19. Although I never beat the orge before, for various reasons...it seems to me its even harder now, even when I play with very experienced players who have beaten it countless times before. In fact we cannot beat the ogre, even with those who easily kill baatel (if thats how you spell him).

I know as a tank, its near impossible to kill him after he has 1/4th hp...and failing alot after 1/2 hp.

I admit though, I am no elite player, still it seems alot harder then it was in the past. I know some of that has to do with the new auto shield, which seems like garbage compared to what it once was. I'm taking alot more damage then I did before...and I have new gear (cobalt red from head to toe).
Hate is no problem, living is.

Normally the aimed party is what it was before. Glad, Conjx2-3, archerx2-3, pug/mrd. Is it different now? Mind telling me (nicely) what I am doing wrong?
Or is everyone now experiencing this?

I am deeply worried I wont beat it in time for the foundation day event, where my seals will double. Thank you for your time.
