I went into this dungeon the other night with a group that has done it ~50x between us. It was significantly harder for two reasons.
- Mobs hit significantly harder.
- Healer heal for significantly less.
Overall I am not impressed. The damage increase + less healing made this dungeon require significant effort even for a near max gear score group. It can easily be beaten if everyone is in heavy armor. It becomes cancer if people are in anything else.
It took us over a dozen wipes to figure out how easy the fights can be when everyone is in heavy armor. It is not a DPS race. Especially the last boss. We had 3 tanks using throwing hatchet to kill it because the healer and ranger in medium armor died from full from the deathspell + basic attack combo that randomly targets players. It was cake for them to do it from ranged and damage was minimal. Even without a healer. Heavy armor makes that much of a difference.
I hope the devs address this dungeon so Heavy armor doesn’t make the dungeon cake, and anything else makes it cancer. Until then, for anyone doing this, For the love of god… PLEASE do no go into it with anyone in light or medium armor. Especially your healer. It increases difficulty exponentially.
