This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[Bourne_Endeavor]

To be fair, that boss brought in some mechanics that players, even jump potion users, should know by now and they still fail it. We can discuss parses and whatnot all we want, but there are still players who think that getting a stack marker means run away with a full party alive.

To which I say, why wasn't this in a new Hall of the Novice? I've noticed an increasing trend with SB dungeons. They keep adding gimmicks to one of the bosses, which get tedious very quickly, especially if you play jobs with a resource you have to maintain and said gimmick messes it up.

my guess is because HoN isn't meant to be something maintained. you're meant to be introduced to and grow accustomed to more "advanced" mechanics organically instead of in a formal training ground. also HoN is some easily missed junk on the side of the road in a zone people don't really linger in. people barely remember it exists. the novice network has a bigger footprint.
