New player introduction/questions

First, thanks guys for the replies!

I'd like to know why dungeons have become less enjoyable. Or why you think you suck or why you are trying to enjoy them better. Is it a little confusion on the rotation you should be using? Is it the way other people are acting? Is it a perhaps long wait time to enter a dungeon? Perhaps a better hotbar / crossbar layout? Hate the Disco Ball effect especially when you ramp up to speed? (Ok that last one was a bad dig)

Well, some of the dungeons, not all, are becoming less enjoyable because it's a bit difficult to understand them. The last one I did (The Last Sigil I think) I died twice on the boss, and I don't even know how or why. I dodged all the AOEs, yet I was still taking dmg even though I was always either behind, or on the flank of the boss. I've decided that I'd just play the dungeons more often to hopefully get a better understanding.

Going by your level on the forums, level 41, I am guessing that you are talking about The Stone Vigil. If you are talking about the last boss, the dragon (well, ok, they are all dragons, but...) then yeah as long as you see the boss, and avoiding the circle ice aoes, you shouldn't be dying. Now, if you were in front (you not) or if it was up in the air doing his strafing runs, that's different. Hopefully the links provided by everyone can help you nail down the specific tactics for the boss you were having trouble with.

And I like that it is just you understanding the dungeons that is your concern. With a quick read about them, more runs in them, group members providing any tips during, you should get comfy in time. Meaning, it sounds like you are basically ok with your UI set up, basically fine with your rotations, the people you meet, etc.
