    The one spot I see people die often in that place, is the first boss. Think I ran it with a healer once who, no joke, died 3-4 times to the meteor dropping. But that's such an easily, avoidable mechanic, I have no idea what was going on on the healer's side. At least we had a competent Red Mage on our Team, who kept rezzing them. Then there's the final boss, who could also be a problem if the DPS is too low. But that was a problem at launch. After a few months now, that should pretty much be a non-issue now.

    Honestly, I've seen more struggles with giant pulls when people forget they're synched down to i440 than with the actual bosses in there. (Though I have seen a breathtaking number of people accidentally dash/dive/backflip off the arena with the final boss.)

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    When it comes to giant pulls, I found The Burn to be much more challenging. Because there are constantly aoes that you have to avoid. As long as Tanks watch their cds and Healers know what they are doing, I don't find it any more difficult than any other dungeon. But that's just my personal experience.

    It's not so much that Amaurot is harder than a normal dungeon, in my experience, it's that the ilevel sync is aggressive enough that people who are coming in as level 80 used to the damage they can do and/or soak in later content with i470+ gear can be caught off-guard in Amaurot. Add to that the Roilers and Detonators that tether to folks (and the healing debuff you get from it), and some parties can get caught off-guard.

    You're absolutely right that the Burn is more obnoxious, mechanically.

    You could do boss room to boss room pulls during early access week wearing AF gear, so i dont know why it'd be a problem now. If people are dying to big pulls in amuarot, then its not the content's fault.

    The trick for the first groups is:
    The healer stays behind until the shadow Exergon locks onto another target. Then the healer sprints in and insta heals the tank. Tank needs to use CDs to bridge the gap.
    If you do this, the healer doesn't get the debuff and the mass pulls are nice and easy.

    Only mass pulls that hit a bit harder are the ones before the last boss but CD usage takes care of that.

    But the cast is so long you could run around the arena 2 times.
    And even if they die, well, a lot of people die randomly in dungeon and, that's not the end of the world.

    Agreed. Amaurot is extremely difficult. That one should be moved to the expert roulette. It is and never was normal content. The fact that it is a main story dungeon baffles me. What were they thinking? I concur though, we should be able to disable the really difficult stuff like this.
