1.5-3 hour runs in Normal Mode Fane and Balders. HM Ebon Tower has too much trash, and the last boss is so imbalanced that it is unbeatable without a Sorc. Asian grindiness is rearing its head in endgame.

Boss fight difficulty scales up so dramatically over pre-60 dungeons it's kinda insane. As fun and as epic fighting in this game is, I absolutely loathe fighting 1 boss for 20+ minutes. My suggestion to EME is to lower boss hp 25% across the board.

Just wait until the general masses reach endgame and see how ridiculous these dungeons are. I sincerely hope EME has a plan to start scaling these dungeons down.

Stop being a scrub. End game is meant to be difficult and hard.

stop wiping every 5 seconds. the bosses in balder should take less than 15 minute or you'll wipe on last boss. thats 4x10 minute on just bosses. where do you get 1.5-3 hrs from?

I want to know their plan in general....casually got to 60 in 2 weeks and already through all 60 dungeona.

1.5-3hrs wtf ware you doing wipping ever 5mins o.o? even wiping like 5 time and having to remake party after 3 people left coz pug sucked i still finish with in 1.5hr.

meh typical immature elitist reaction.

Fact is dungeons are not casual friendly at all - especially normal mode.

Nolifers can ridicule all they want, but most people don't play everyday for 6+ hours.

Are you kidding? Using the LFD queue, I've almost always finished Balder's with 10-25 minutes left on the cooldown. The cooldown is one hour through LFD. Fane takes only slightly longer.

I cannot agree so much with the OP. Do these dungeons take a long time? Sure. I think the lockout timers on the dungeons are meant to be suggestions on how long, perhaps, the dungeons can take. That is, with several wipes on boss fights, which can take an average of 10 minutes to complete efficiently.

HP reduction would likely mess up with some of the mechanics, especially the final boss of Balder's Temple (Auricadis). The Mystic that I run with has been known to pull out her Thrall of Wrath, glyphed for more damage and shorter cooldown, in order to help damage when it is useful, and one might let other people know to pull out the stops when it comes to tree phases.

Can I ask you guys at level 60 a question ?

Did you actually read any of the quest text or did you ACCEPT your way through it ?

Ive been playing an ample amount of time every day and at only level 32 since launch on first toon.

Working full time, three kids, dinged 60 yesterday and no... I barley read any of the quest text. I just don't enjoy reading it all. Some do, some don't.
