    Because it was designed with the capability to solo it, and to work with any composition with a change of tactics. So the DF is setup to allow that as well. Otherwise it would be too easy if you had a standard setup.

    Almost every time you get a standard party setup the dungeon goes by really fast tanks pull big, DPS nukes them, boss fights go by really easily due to everyone falling into standard dungeon routine.

    A nonstandard setup causes the party to adapt on the fly to their durability and kill speed.

    Since the palace can be done with any party set up, it is matched that way, plus it helps fill slots faster than the standard trinity set up.

    It doesn't give enough esoterics to merit doing it instead of spamming antitower or aetherochemical. This is the most disappointing aspect to me. Poms are well designed and interesting though, as resource management is always interesting.

    Not without a longer time limit, it isn't, and certainly not by every class.

    Since the palace can be done with any party set up,

    This would be true for literally every duty. There's a reason why they aren't all made like that (good reason too, not Just Because)

    You just hgave to tweak the rolls a bit and make sure to avoid as much dmg as possible. Im willing to bet out of solo-ers not many still use food, and medicine to compensate.

    Chances are people got hit by In Health too many times. Each hit lights up the AVERE one letter at a time, which boosts the damage dealt by Black Honeymoon (all five letters lit up = death). Final boss has no DPS race. She just requires you to pay attention.
    Ranged that don't know what to expect will get hit by it, because the safe zone is way too small and often out of reach. It isn't really always a matter of "just paying attention"

    It wouldn't be a big deal if this were like a normal dungeon and you could just retry the boss after figuring out what NOT to do, but negating your entire 41-49 run due to one wipe is going to be quite the kick in the teeth to some.

    Especially when said run takes almost the entire hour.

    It's a massive AoE with plenty of time to look around. If the first thing a ranged player does is look around for a safe zone and then notice too late (and try to make it within the safe zone), then it's fine. They at least tried, which means they will (or should) be prepared for the next one (staying closer, popping Sprint if need be). The only time it starts getting tricky is when the "adds" AoE over Edda's safe zone, or if everyone is hit by Cold Feet.

    If a ranged player gets hit all the time and shows no sign of trying to avoid it, then you have a party member expecting you to carry them.

    A forum that has no idea what a Roguelike games.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike

    those who are talking of difficulty have no fucking idea what they are talking, the idea of these games is that while lower floors becomes more difficult, if Palace of the dead will have about 200 floors, the floors we have available are easy.

    Another thing that people forget is this "Since the palace can be done with any party set up" so ask difficulty to something that has to adapt to all set ups is stupid, the difficulty of savage(ex) modes are created based on the trinity of tanking, dps, healer. The real problem Palace of The Dead is the amount of time consuming, but it can be applied to all the game content If you do Savage Alexander for 3 hours you are going to get tired, if you do for 3 hours Fates, you get tired same for ALL.

    PD: An Sorry, my English is really bad XD
