Difficulty spike?

[Maero]

Please just ... don't
Last battle in 2.x to get into I'shgard was nerfed because of people stating it was too hard.
We need this sort of content, players that cry too are the reason we cannot have nice things.
Granted yes a FC member and i wiped a few times with pugs but overall was enjoyable.

I am not a raider either, I can't to it, I am not good enough, I am just casual, too (in average 1 - 2 hours per day just doing dungeons and stuff)
In the old days, I couldn't beat Titan Ex, no matter how much i wanted to do it. The Ilvl-request was rather low there, many groups needed several months to clear it.
This won't be the case here. Like someone stated before: a lot of people play for a long time and had enough time to get their gear up to i229 (highest you get without raids, just dungeon-farming). Go with PF, search explicitly for a group that can help you, because you can't find a proper group in DF.
Nidhogg wasn't a piece of cake, but it was a good fight. Figure out the AOEs, stack together when possible and needed to make it easier for your healers, and you will get it done.

I think it is about time the content has been increased in difficulty. The gap between going from VA and EX roulette to savage and EX fights is huge. This content is needed to prepare people to take on bigger challenges. I think the difficulty of patches from new Alex is just right, sure if people really are struggling add echo in further down the line. But at least give people a challenge, it's only day two of an update.

Did you ever got the idea, if something is endless failing over and over again, that the reason could be found in your own way to handle it?

I mean...

however spending hours putting out 1,8k dps on a ninja

... is ... if you replace the one by a zero its getting cose to the thruth. It would be a surprise if your view on yourself in the case of handling of this fight would be ... same as good.

So in my eyes the question should be more about what you did wrong and how you can do it better.

Also, "I have great dps on my ninja" doesnt mean squat if you all ignore mechanics

[AI_wass]

Honestly, I've found Nidhogg to be pretty faceroll.

[Xenos88]

Id have to agree that since Nidhogg is the final boss he should not be nerfed at all. You have to remember that everyone has to learn the mechanics in order to clear and its only been a day since the patch released. Give it a few days and all will be well.

Before any one says 'don't want it to be a faceroll' again. I'm not asking for a faceroll. I'm asking for a fight that is properly listed. As it is now, the low entry of ilvl 205 is misleading af and it's screwing up parties.

Consider the dungeon right before the fight, it's listed at ilvl200 and it was facerolled big deal, story line dungeon right? But then you go and fight in the trial and the difference between avg ilvl 200 and 205 is clearly a typo. They were definitely meaning 225 avg minlevel. Let the elites keep their savages and extremes as they are, but cut some slack on the msq. Not a lot...just some...or at least label it properly so people with ilvl205-206 can't get in.

Just an fyi, I've done this as 205 warrior/DRK with no problems.

I should have specified. The 1.8 is my parse for dummy, as in a display that I know my routine, and I know almost all of the fight now...lowest I've seen him get is 20%, and that is with several second day tries. I know it isn't me having the issues with the fight. No amount of explaining will get things through the forum goer's heads so I've given up trying to get help from you lot.

[Veriden]

The fight at least needs echo, or to cut some slack on the dps check when adds spawn. I follow the mechanics, dodge aoes, number and focus down the adds. But in the last leg of the fight tanks die, healers die, summoners, bards, and black mages stand in aoes. I'm going to wager very few, if any of those who replied here are on adamantoise.
