Last boss all those tornadoes.
Last boss all those tornadoes.
I'll take Neverreap over Fractal anyday. Neverreap feels faster (it probably is?) The annoying part happens at the end boss.
The second dps was a machinist. The only part that we really had a problem with was the last boss, and it was just impossible. No matter where I ran to, when the adds popped the boss kept coming at me and I didn't have time to cast at all between dodging the boss and the twisters. That last boss is just death to casters.Hmm, yeah I can see BLM having harder time there than basically anyone else. That said, i've never wiped there, even with full DF groups.
2 DPS going - hope you didn't have double BLM. Tank should be DPS when most adds are out (boss invul). Adds have little HP, so it's doable for just about every group.
As for the person who said the trash mobs drop fast, maybe if have a fully-geared party, but if you do there at ilvl 145 those mobs take a really long time to kill. I admit it probably just seems much slower to me because I got used to being able to run dungeons quickly before the expansion because I was well geared.
At least during the totem boss you can just spam Scathe while running around - As a monk I lose my greased lightning and all buff/debuffs. Thats a 49% Damage boost and 27% attack speed that I have to spend 7-9 GCD's building back up. The other DPS jobs maybe, but if you have a monk you should yield to them at least on the totem boss.
Yeah I hate it. Me and my gf did it today for the first time after just unlocking it. It took like 5 mins to kill a group of 3-4 trash mobs. They had waaaaaay too much health. Granted I'm not the best geared but it was horribly slow, I have never been so bored in a dungeon just because they took forever to kill. And the same with the last boss, it wasn't too bad dodging and killing the adds but when your doing it for what feels like forever and then the boss is only at half health wtf.
My gf (blm) was literally getting mad at how she couldn't use any of her new moves because of all the moving and the stupid tornados. So it seems tough to utilize ley lines and keep enochian combo up at all.
Needless to say, yeah I hate it. I'm sure it will get easier when we get better gear but as a first run, I have honestly never been so bored in a dungeon. Just because of how long it took for everything to die, not because it wasn't interesting or mechanics in the boss fights were boring.
I fail to understand why it gets so much hate... o.o granted, it's not the most pleasant one to run, but there are quite a few such, and none has been highlighted in this much loathing. o.o
If you watch there is a pattern to the madness. You can anticipate where the tornados and the boss will be going and easily get your casts out without even loosing enochian. The trick is observation. If you pay attn. in just a couple of these runs and see how things move you should pick up on the movement and be able to stay one step ahead of the boss and the tornados in future runs. But if you panic, while then your going to have one heck of a bad time. The entire dungeon is like this. The second boss is a lil more tricky but you take measures to move totems and save your enochian once you master it, time things right and learn how to utilize other skills to keep it going. Learning these things is just going to make you a better blm overall so its worth the time to learn it.
It's not hard at all, just annoying.
I just hate the first and last boss. The bloated HP that trash mobs have also suck but that's a problem with every HW dungeon.
They feel the same. Problem is when dps is just bad stuff takes forever to die. Even an undergeared dps can pump out decent damage if they know their rotation. In the ARR dungeons bad dps slowed a run but not to the point it does in HW. It's just so painful. Good dps melts that dungeon and it can be done in 15 minutes.
