Warning, rant incoming:

F*ck this dungeon. Seriously. I've now gotten it three times in roulette, and 3 times we've gotten to Siren, only to wipe repeatedly because it's so damn healing intensive. Either that, or people don't go to center for her AoE move, or get hit by rush, or don't kill the slow crawlies fast enough and healer gets stunlocked, or healer doesn't heal person to full with debuff, or a billion other things that can go wrong in that damn fight... Regardless, I've now spent 270 minutes in this godforsaken hellhole with nothing to show for it but a few philo tomes and a bunch of broken gear. So I've decided that if it pops ever again, I'm just going to drop and take the 30 minute hit. I honestly don't even care anymore. Wasting 30 mins is better than wasting 90.

Ok, I got it out of my system. Anyone else having massive difficulties with DF groups in this dungeon?

It's pretty easy if you just have everyone stand in the middle the entire fight. I had a harder time with 2nd boss then I did with Siren. Pretty sure me and Joe 1 shot it.

I had the same experience in Copperbell HM last night using roulette

we cruised all the way through the dungeon until last boss but one of our DPS would not do anything about the adds, so I had to feed the worm kill the adds and that became a nightmare as I was targeted very often by the adds. This would have been fine but our healer had issues keeping the squish tank alive so I wasn't getting very many heals and heavy becomes an issue.

Did it for the first time last night. Did DFR. I think it was the first time for 3/4 of us as well. We killed straight through all bosses except the last. Took three tries but we downed her. I was the scholar. I thought it was fun and afterwards I got my Omilex Zenith!

I do feel like the dungeon is a bit overtuned for its minimum ilvl req. Siren's obviously a learning curve for healers and I suspect it may be harder for SCHs than WHMs. I'm still kinda wut at how easy the third boss is, though.

This dungeon should honestly be labeled as hard mode. I don't get how Haukke Manor HM and Copper Bell HM are in fact, quite easy compared to Pharos Sirius. I did, or attempted I should say, it 4x before writing it off as something I probably won't do unless my FC does it.

I've been playing off hours and I think its one of the reasons why I was able to beat it on the first time.

We had more trouble with the bird than with Siren. Our group, especially healer was pretty awesome.

Its a nice change of pace from AK/WP but I like CT a bit more and its easier IMO...even if it takes a bit longer. I haven't run CB HM or Haukke yet.

Yes, Lunatic Voice can be interrupted. I think after she flies off, it's one of the first moves she uses once she finishes dashing or doing the other AoE room song. But I think my tank mentioned she'll use it sporadically outside of those instances, too.

The dungeon is litterally 2x as hard/long as CB/HM hard modes. I got it in DFR 1x, and omg, we cleared it with about 3 deaths to bird and 3 to siren. Such a hard dungeons for such crap rewards.

To you and everyone else, Yoshi did say this is the hardest 4-man dungeon in the game. This is a hard boss but once you get the hang of it its not that hard. The biggest problem is not trying new things. My party died 10 times before they listened to me and let me help get the adds. I'm a tank.

This really disappointed me. I zoned in expecting to hear some very awesome music...and I did. For the duration you mentioned. Then everything disappeared and went back to the original.

At least they did a great job with HM HM music and CT.

The hardmode music was the dungeon music in 1.0.

This seems to be the consensus with my FC as well. Not looking forward to trying this.
