I really don't understand why this trial even exists, especially after cape westwind and steps of faith got the axe.

Is the chrysalis fun? No, it's objectively the worst trial in the game and it's not even close. All you do is chase the boss back and forth and then try not to fall asleep while grabbing orbs. The only enjoyable part is a 60 second tank invuln during the rift phase, but the novelty wears off very quickly.

Does the fight teach new players anything? Not really. Orb eating happens in porta decumata, meteors are common mechanics throughout the entire game, and the TB spam doesn't change how you deal with it at all. And even if it did teach invaluable things, they could teach those exact same things better in a solo duty.

Does the fight have any rewards, difficulty levels, etc? Nada. It's literally just ARR patch quest filler. It could be completely removed and nothing would change.

This fight blows and I don't want to keep getting it in my roulettes. Can we please please please make it a solo duty and make both the newbies and the vets happy?
