Ever since Endwalker came out I been taking longer to clear dungeons and alliance raids. For example The Nier raids are pretty much a nightmare now and take up to one hour and 15 mins (the last one).


I've seen bosses in the first nier raid (factory) do mechanics i've never even seen before.

I remember Yoshi P especifically saying "Oh dont WORRY GUYDS@!!@ You are NOT getting weaker I PROMISE!!!!! "


Now I could be COMPLETELY wrong here and maybe i'm just being thrown into these raids with horrible players but i'm just not sure (reason im asking here).

At the end of endwalker with eden savage gears and cryplurker gears I remember I would clear these raids in about 25 mins or less easily. Now it takes 50 mins on average.

Also some dungeon bosses seem to one shot me too when before they couldn't?

Anyways, I would like some input on this from people who know what they are talking about it would be greatly appreciated.

I really hope we didn't get nerfed. One of the things i dislike about FF14 is how weak you always feel. You never feel powerful in this game. Even if you work hard to get the best gears and all that so it's very disappointing to become even weaker...
This isn't my first experience with stat squish in MMOs ( Yes i'm a WoW player )
But compared to Blizzard who totally messes up their stat squish. I haven't felt anything here.
If they didn't announce the stat squish I wouldn't have even noticed it. This goes to say much about the devs capabilities so I'm not complaining at all. I would say this is the best stat squish I have seen so far.
As for difficulty in raids and instances. I haven't noticed any delay. Its as usual for me.
