Massive relative damage increase with EW

[Darthgummibear]

The stat squish seems to have given us a HUGE increase in damage relative to a mob's health compared to what it was before. I initially noticed it in POTD where I was pretty much one-shotting everything. In addition, with dungeons my groups have been effectively skipping entire portions of boss mechanics because everything dies so fast now. This doesn't feel healthy for the game as it will make people even less prepared for current content.

Was this intentional, or an oversight that will be tweaked later?

EEEP don't tell them that maybe I could solo clear this old old old content.

Square Enix needs to take a good look at increased damage and it wasn't just with the stat squish. Tanks and healers are bored and dungeons continue to be face roll. Fights are great, mechanics are fine, there just isn't a whole lot punishing moves anymore. Luckily they have acknowledged this but I doubt we will see any change..

Casual Content: Dungeons, Alliance Raids
Challenging Content: Extreme, Savage, Ultimate

Working as intended

I dungeon'd this morning from level 16 to level 32 as marauder. Not one of those dungeons felt faster at all and I've run all of them a bazillion times.

Breylox was like 10minutes with slow tank. One pack at the time. Normally that would be 20min. Also not even second add wave on the first boss

I kind of wonder how this'll affect PoTD and HoH solo runs, hopefully it doesn't make it too easy otherwise that'll be kind of disappointing

I dont have exact numbers but it feels like boss health is higher then shb and the damage output of their abilities is also a lot higher. It feels like a nice change and I really like the new mechanics in a lot of the dungeons/8 players even if they killed me a few times lol. That being said it feels fine to me? Maybe it'll be easier once savage is out and people can actually log in lol

I meant maybe it will be easier to calculate it and see. Can't edit post on mobile
