(Spoilers) Ghimlyt difficulty was a step down from the Burn...and that needs to stop

[RokkuEkkusu]

Kaiva, to be fair, two types of factors come into play here.

1. Both the Mist Dragon and the twins contain plenty of rehashed mechanics of their previous counterparts (Mist Dragon - Isgebind, Tioman, and Nunyenunc; Twins - Livia, Gaius, and Einhander). They are quite punishing to those who don't avoid aoes. In addition, both hit hard on their respective minimum item levels, which brings me to point two:

2. Gear really plays a factor of how hard a boss is. Back when patch 4.4 came out, most were only around the i340-i360 range. It was obvious Mist Dragon was going to hit hard with the tankbuster and the unavoidable aoe the first time around. But as players geared up, attacks didn't hit as hard and some mechanics are skipped.

By the time 4.5 came out, most were geared to the teeth at the i370-i380 range as 4.5 is a catch-up patch. The tankbusters and unavoidable aoes of the twins hit just as hard as that the mist dragon in their respective minimum item levels. But because most are really geared, the damage taken is pretty much negligible at this point.

In short, it's not that Ghimlyt Dark is easier because of having easier boss mechanics compared to stuff from the Burn. It's because most who currently do it are really geared ahead of time as a result of completing content in patch 4.4.
