    New Alliance Raid is really undertuned

    It's pretty fun, has some clever mechanics. But the bosses all have the durability of tissue paper. On my first run, the first boss died before we even had gained 2 bars of limit break gauge. I was so surprised I expected her to get up for a second round, but no that was it. Second boss only got to LB2, and then the final two bosses we got LB3, but they were about to die by the time we did. Final boss was at like 5% health.

    I'm not convinced I even saw every attack from how fast they died, particularly the first boss. And this was day 1, it's only going to get faster and faster to kill from here. Please buff the bosses' health.

    Seems they learned nothing from Agalia.

    It seemed fine to me. We had a much harder time with it then the 1st one. Maybe the health wasn't high, but the mechs were tough enough to keep us busy, and there was lots of death and a few wipes.

    Still waiting for Alliance Raid (Savage). Game really needs multiple difficulties for all content.

    Two runs so far. First one we wiped on Halone, and very nearly wiped on Althyk/Nymeia when he speeds up her knockback. Due to many deaths on all bosses, none of them went particularly fast.
    Second run, no wipes, but very close again on 2nd and 3rd bosses, similarly many deaths meant fights took ages.

    If the mechanics are particularly unforgiving, then the HP pools can't be too high or too many deaths make it impossible.

    Remember, Alliance Raids are 'casual' content.

    Congrats, you got a decent party, i died a good 10 times, not my fault but because my healers were dead on every mechanic so 1/3 of the raid was constantly dead.

    wiped on althyk once in my first run... thats it. however even if its too easy for some people the problem isnt now... the problem will be in a few weeks. and it will get worse in 6.4-7.0. like aglaia it will age very poorly.
    people going to get used to the mechanics, while the average gear is getting better which makes the mechanics weaker player cant do also less a problem. we will burn through these bosses so we'll have less time in there to dnjoy those awesomes visuals and amazing soundtracks... what a pity

    It did feel undertuned. We also had 0 wipes and very little casualties on first clear.

    I only did it once but first impression is that it did feel easier than usually. We had no wipes. There were a lot of deaths (including myself) but that is normal for day one clear.

    In darkness, in cold, in the midst of winter where nothing walks the world but death and fear let the brave rejoice: I call the light.
    Out of darkness, light. Ouf of silence, song. Ouf of the sun´s death, the birth of each year. Out of cold, fire. Out of death, life. Out of fear, courage to see the day. (Elizabeth Moon - The Deed of Paksenarrion)
