Can we please stop locking content out of DF?

[Ashkendor]

Maybe I'm just not expressing myself in the right way then.

Possibly. I do have to note one thing, though.

That seems improbable in a game this simple. How is it even physically possible to do that little in a game where "combat" is just point-and-click and pressing keys in the right order? I refuse to believe that it is possible to fail to master a duty in a single run through.

Sorry, I forgot that we had the "babby's first vidyagame" community and that somehow in a combat system that lets you pretend you're actually playing some people can still get confused.

Seeing things like this from you is what makes people think you're a troll. Have you even gone and looked at videos for any of the endgame content for this game? It takes weeks of effort to clear some of the raids, and you casually trivialize that without even having set foot in any of it. I mean, you're doing stuff like Alex Normal and Void Ark that's meant to be faceroll easy. My static's working on A3S now and even though we more than meet the gear requirement now, it's still hard.

Only for lack of a group who wants to bother. If only it were in DF...

The fight being in DF doesn't lower the DPS requirement.

Expert roulette is too boring/grindy to bother with eso gear. I meet min ilv for the whole game, that's plenty. I just need to run it now.

Upgraded Eso gear has more primary stats than Void Ark gear, meaning you do more damage just by wearing it. Optimizing your secondary stats can also do a fair bit for your damage output. Item level is far from being the end-all measure of DPS capacity.

And if you seriously expect me to get 2 combat classes up you are insane. Who has time for a grind that boring? The length wouldn't be THAT bad if there was even an ounce of satisfying gameplay to be had through it, but there's not. Just spamming point-and-click not-combat for an eternity. I can't even stomach LNC enough to get b4b. It's not worth it. It's too BORING.

So you're a DPS that's purposely gimping your damage by 10% every 80 seconds. Okay.

I want to try the actual endgame to see if it's exciting at all like I was promised by the people who convinced me to join in the first place. I have no way to get a group to do it and even find out. So I'm stuck with all this wasted time building up this character to hit that ilvl195 req for Thordan without any way to even see if it was worth it. It's depressing.

I wouldn't want to take a Ninja without B4B either. Cross-class skills are an important part of optimization. If you don't feel they're worth the time, you're going to have a hard time finding people that feel it's worth their time to take you into endgame.
