Anyone else hate Neverreap?

[Misutoraru]

Every time I que for expert I hope I don't get neverreap and I say not neverreap over and over until the screen loads. Most of the time I get fractal. I don't hate all of neverreap tbh. It's fun scenery and some new mechanics, I just hate it with the occasional spatially unaware tanks and the tornadoes and the trollnadoes with the end boss. It's easier/faster now with gearing thankfully. My irritation with those trollnadoes hasn't decreased in the slightest yet though xD

I hate neverreap even i have already gear up
i do find Fractal boss seem to hit harder
but in neverreap, trash mob spaming AOE with only 1 s windows isnt fun, it is stupid
the tornadoes in last boss with no pattern to avoid and huge hitbox isnt fun, it is stupid

There is so much AOE to run out of, both on the trash pulls and the boss fights, I feel a little like a headless chicken doing some ridiculous dance and occasionally hitting something.

No, no, no, no. you don't have to run around dancing to avoid aoes as tank when dealing with the trash pulls. Trust your healer, use your cds and it will be fine. You won't die.

I run this dungeon as war so idk how it is for drk/pld but i have all my attribute points in str and i can take all the aoes without dying. I still have law chestpiece too.

I've also run this as astro so as a healer I can tell you its not that hard to heal either. Just have to double shield the tank and dps. The dps shouldnt be getting hurt by the aoes since they're the ones who should run around avoiding those so its just a matter of single target healing, nothing special.

I absolutely hated it when I had just hit 60 on my first class (BLM). I still didn't like it when I had just hit 60 on my second class (AST).
Since gearing up those 2 classes and also running it on non-caster classes for the first time, my opinion changed; I only consider it a mild annoyance now. Still, I'm 100% happier when Fractal pops up, but whatever.

On AST I have no trouble with the final boss at all.
With BLM, it's still...urgh. Not the adds, not even the whirlwinds. The worst part is that it ALWAYS goes into invincible mode whenever I'm on my last 3 seconds of Enochian and in the middle of my B4 cast -.-
In the rare case that it isn't, I'm surely getting hit by that abnormally large hitbox while trying to target one of the adds, which will make me auto-target the invincible boss and make me throw my next spell on him, canceling out any astral fire or umbral ice stacks I might have had left. And by the time I change target and finally get those stacks back, Enochian will have run out. Same with the first boss, btw.
Guess I just generally hate bosses that become untargetable for a certain amount of time as BLM...

Neverreap just flat out sucks as a BLM. Its just not fun at all. You spend at least half of every boss fight not even able to play your class.

By the way, what's the deal with Neverreap being the Exp. Roulette dungeon like 99% of the time? Over the last two weeks I've gotten Fractal once. I know people joke and call it Alwaysreap and what not, but there has to be some kind of reason for it. Do more people just manually queue for Neverreap or something?

I've always assumed it must be the faster of the two? So after daily its the go to for farming. I haven't actually timed it but expert roulette has always had one dungeon that pops up more frequently because its easier to make big pulls. Like the way people used to farm Bray Hard. As a healer it just feels dull. Speed pulling means I spend trash spamming heals with no real thought and the bosses don't usually do enough damage to warrant a lot of healing so I end up spamming stone III between gimmicky mechanics. It reminds me of Stone Vigil hard in that regard. The gimmicks I mean. There isn't anything really challenging about the three bosses. The mechanics just pad out fights artificially and frankly I'd much rather have Fractal where I at least feel like there is something to do.

As a DPS or Healer, yes I dislike getting Neverreap in roulette.

However, as a Tank I usually hope for it. I'm fairly lazy and Neverreap is very easy on the tank.
