    The trash fight that is the third arena encounter is an arena encounter specifically so that the Shortcut updates a few steps away from the stairs to the last boss room. It would be a very long run back to the top otherwise.

    Even though every dungeon shortcut is already a long run back because they're placed after bosses instead of before them like in raids.

    Haukke Manor HM's final boss is awful. You can't go too ham on the dps because of how quickly the hp fall, having this situation where the add spawns and is immediately consumed without giving time to attack them.
    Being forced to restrain the dps a littlle is definitely awkward. Not the end of the world, mind you but it makes new players confused

    It's the same with the first Pharos boss. Two examples that come to mind where the high ilvl sync backfires.

    In the case of Pharos Sirius, when it was first introduced people were actually timing out of the duty from repeated wipes. That final checkpoint was meant to mitigate that.
