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.

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

The low floors in PotD and HoH especially are a lot easier = faster. It stays like that until 51 maybe even 60 for HoH. After that it mostly has the same difficulty, so it is not really much easier.

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..

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 havent had a second wave on that boss in years

The second add wave on the first boss of Breylox was always an indicator.
In HW if you skipped the second wave you had top DPS.
Since SB it was an indicator for very subpar DPS, you literally needed a DPS to be not doing anything to get the second wave and even then you could skip it with only 3 man.
