Unreal Dungeons

[Tlamila]

Oh God this is sooooo true!

I read people saying how Shiva unreal is not too bad and rather easy and I am thinking; "yeah, BET you have a 'static' you run with on a regular basis."
The DPS check is too harsh for this to be easy in PF with the typical people that join who give up if it is not done in 2-3 tries.

This so much. I practiced a lot and I found it just frustrating, a lot of friends practiced countless hours and days both in fc and many PF groups and never got a clear yet. It's really much harder than a lot of people make it out to be.
I guess indeed those having an easy time are statics (and coordinating on voice) and people who ran the original ex until they puked back then. It's a real nightmare for the rest of us.
I'd rather they just keep adding new stuff than add even more unreal stuff.

The Shiva Mechanics themselves are actually rather easy to learn and very repetitious. In phase 3 she does the same things every time, only the positioning of the circles for hailstorm are different., and sometimes she will do a sword attack before hailstorm, which you need to watch for to stack.

But even with knowing them, people still mess up and do dumb things, Lord knows I have. ;p Too many deaths and the DPS check will not happen. Also, if you need to use the healer LB3, the DPS check will probably not happen either.

My clear group won partly because we did NOT move for the circle AOE after the ice and before the bow. Staying in the middle and eating the damage allowed the DPS's to keep up their stacks and attacks and make positioning for the bow easy. Let me tell you, it made a WORLD of difference.
