Forums bring with it debates and passion, some may confuse with blind hatred. As such Ive taken the time to talk about the things in the game that make me happy.

Question: Does anyone run dungeons not for loot or glam, but just for fun?

I do, a few early level dungeons for reasons Ill get into later and my best boi Pharos! Honorable mention to Aurum but doesnt pack the punch it used to thanks to Mog tomes and the coincounter nerf, and not being a 50 dungeon.

I Love Pharos Sirius, for simple reasons. It treats all roles with respect. Outside the minilv run, even the normie roultte version has some spook with a very noticeably decrease in potency.

Healers: Place has quite a few esunables; Poison, vuln, Blood, magic vuln, somtimes a mix of poison and vuln. Healers are always on their toes, more so than usual. This is also assuming everyone knows what their doing, if they arent then the fun really begins trying to battle ur fleeding MP and your half dead teamates. Healing here is ruthless on minilv which is the intended experience

Tanks: most minilv you have to unlearn the w2w singularity that plagues the current dungeon formula as the mobs not only do alot of damage but can freak your healer out and once their out of resources your as good as dead, which is a rare thing. Besides some proper navigationing in the boss fights and tethers, Sadly PS has no Aurum vale/Longstep navigation and is more traditionally a hallway so tanks are the lesser here. If PS had something along those lines it would be the perfect dungeon

DPS: For once DPS matter..alot. Banish III are lurking that need to be stuned or interrupted otherwise heavy Raid wide. Boss 1 and 2 are DPS reliant with the mobs. Youll get overwhelmed if in Boss A you dont clear the mobs, and in Boss B if you go with the instinct of killing everything your tank will die in a matter of seconds, Boss 3 also is Mob heavy which can result in a wipe if your tank is at his limit that is to say, your healer is at its limit.


Thank christ Pharos is optional, if it were MSQ required theyd nerf it into oblivion and replace all of these well thought out mechs with stack markers. Everyone thinks Aurum Vale is harder never ran this on minilv, but i digress just wanted it to be well known. I want more dungeons like this as comparing it to the last...20 maybe 30 dungeons is frankly embarassing
