Roleplay Solo Dungeons - Can we just stop Square?

You need to use the limit break once it gets the damage invun.

Hmm, I didn't see a limit break. The scale bar is present, but no button for it. I'll make my 15th run and check again.

Edit: Several more attempts, Keep dying before I get to the phase where LB (button 5?) is usable. I think I'll wait until someone does an instruction video, or they nerf it. Totally impossible for me right now.

If you'e dying, you're both standing in easily avoidable AoEs, and not spamming Ala Morn which you should be. The skill heals you for slightly more damage than the auto attacks. It's right on the tooltip.

Drachenlance is a dot. Keep it on the boss. Use Stardiver on cooldown. When adds are up, use Horrid Roar (the game even tells you to do this). Spend all the other time spamming Ala Morn, which is about 90% of the encounter.

The Limit break is on the bar the entire time, it's simply not usable until the boss goes invulnerable.

It does not need a nerf. It needs you to pay attention to the tools they give you.

Button 1: Your main combo. Spam this on the boss.
Button 2: Your DoT. Use it once every 15s on the boss.
Button 3+4: Your AoEs. They are on a 6s GCD so just alternate them as a combo. These have a huge range of 40y and 80y, so keep the boss targeted and just use them whenever the boss summons adds. No need to target anything but the boss.
Button 5: Limit Break. Use it immediately upon becoming available. It doesn't do damage, but it will instantly put you into a cutscene that finishes the fight.

As for the OPs request, please no. I quite enjoy these mini-battles. I wish there were more of them.

Thanks, I'll try that. I was spamming button 1 the whole time on the last two attempts, still died well before the LB phase. Are there any unmarked AOE's? I've been avoiding all the yellow ones. Also, I did use 3 & 4, and they took care of the adds nicely.

I was hoping "very easy" mode would be just walk up, hit the boss once, and he falls over dead..
Even if I do manage to run it to the end, it's taking far too long.

Its already been nerfed. Youre playing it in very easy mode. Thats the nerf.

Really tired of these gimmick solo dungeons playing as another character every patch. The newest one isn't as bad as previous ones in terms of design, but it still was boring and unfulfilling. Everything done in it could have just been shown as a cutscene, or not really at all because it honestly had very little story value.

I don't want to play as story character #238. I want to play as my character.

This is something we do not share my dear. I fricking enjoyed the hell out of it. Regarding Duns/instances, it beats the Mass Pull 1/2/3 AoE that we've been doing for god knows how long ? and adds a more interactive aspect to the enjoyable story which is always a plus. Feels good to deviate from my character a bit...my same...sexy...character...

You outta your GD mind lol.

I enjoy them, it beats watching a super long cutscene, especially when you get stuff like really fancy limit break cutscenes or just cool stuff like that in general.

My only qualm are if they add gimmicky one shot mechanics that are hard to figure out first try, and that forces you to start all over from the beginning.

That is to say they shouldn't be super easy or super challenging, but there shouldn't be anything likely to send someone packing back to the start of the cutscene sequence because they couldn't figure it out fast enough on the first try.

Also, I wish they would give us more actions to use, it's kind of boring being stuck with only 3 or 4 buttons when it would be more fun to mess with 5-8 or something in that range.

Maybe it's just me but I think it would be more engaging playing as another character if said characters had an actual rotation beyond spamming 1 and then hitting 3 other skills off cooldown.

I'd rather play than just watch a cutscene. I just wish that I can move the actions to the left of the crosshotbar as I use my left hand.

I love doing these, please don’t take them away
