The Dalriada "enrage" is neat, i only had one run out of 20 so far where we ran out of time at 4% and that run was haunted but the lack of essences and high death rate. People just couldn't seem to not comprehend how dice works after it being in the game for well over five years.

It's a multifaceted issue. You have maybe 90% of people who don't have any augmented haste gear, and maybe 50% or so not using essences.

The beauty of this content was they basically gave the players a menu of flashy skills they can choose from, and the lazy crowd says nah.

This is also the content where healers actually surpass red DPS in damage regularly. Are you mad yet?
