Thread: 4.4 dungeons are a step in the right direction

I went there with my group of people ranging from 340 to 350 iLvl, and we GOT OUR BUTTS HANDED TO US by the Mist Dragon. We wiped non-stop all the way until the timer kicked us out, TWICE!

Granted, our gear is far from perfect, I suppose we're very close to minimum IL. But man. did we take a beating...

Well, you just can't say that something isn't faceroll easy in this game if you don't want everyone else to reply with something like "it's as easy as everything else in this game, you just aren't good enough"...

Personally, I too thought that the bosses were a little bit harder than the bosses from previous dungeons. The trash pulls were easy as usual, but some of the bosses hit really hard if you messed up mechanics, even in ilvl 360+ gear. I did The Burn only twice, but it wasn't faceroll easy keeping the DPS alive if they all got hit by something. Some would say I'm the worst healer ever if I can't keep them up while dpsing full-time when they mess up mechanics that almost one-shot them. But I know that I'm not the worst healer in the whole world and you just have to heal a little more in that battle and be careful if someone gets hit by something. ^^
The difficulty of some of the new bosses lies in the danger that IF you get hit, you get hit a little harder than by some of the bosses of other lvl 70 dungeons.

I'm still hoping for actual difficult dungeons, akin to WoW Mythic+, where trash is deadly and bosses eat through the tank's HP with every auto attack. The Burn was very pretty, but we sleepwalked through it with 350ilvl gear and our healer pretty much doing only DPS, so it feels like I've been in a different dungeon. The final boss of the Arboretum did wipe us once, but once you understand what the mud does it's pretty much done as well.

So yeah, pretty, but could still use a real bump in difficulty. Give us an actual expert roulette !

1 shot it on duty finder. Did go with my 361 whm and I could see the other players where experienced. There where a few deaths, a bit of chaos on last boss of the burn but it was very fun. It did feel a bit harder than the usual. I liked it a lot. Again it was fun

What was that water valve mechanic on the Arboretum? The water will wash the mud away from the mobs making them easier to kill or something?

Yes, it does

Hence why I made that post. It looks like I was a bit premature in making this thread, which I'm kind of acknowledging. Basically, I'm trying to say my bad.

The dungeons did have a bit of an extra kick to them to be sure. For what its worth I enjoyed them and didn't snooze through them--definitely a better collection than Hell's Lid and Fractal HM imo.
