Greetings,

Seeing as this thread is in regards to Trials, we have moved it to the Dungeons, Trials & Arenas section of the forums as it is better fit there.

I will not add my own ranking, because I am not able distinguish influence of my knowledge and skills from influence of trial mechanics and power.

However, I would like to point out, that vAA has DPS lock (no matter how low) and it made it more difficult then vHRA in my eyes.

I would say difficulty will fluctuate a bit depending on the role you're playing as well as specific bosses may be easier. Also some trials may be harder to pug, despite being easier for coordinated groups / guild runs. Prime examples are vSO and vMoL, which don't really have high DPS checks but require some form of communication. Overall, here is my (subjective and biased) list from a DD/Tank and guild-run-focused point of view though:

Hardest to easiest:
vRG
vSS
vKA
vHoF
vMoL
vCR
vAS
vSO
vHRC
vAA

I haven't played vDSR so I didn't put it anywhere.

Lots of these choices were quite difficult as I could easily swap one or two of these trials. Maybe a categorization would be better, where you put all Hard / Medium / Easy trials in the same group. It would probably look like something like this:

Hard:
vRG
vSS
vKA

Medium:
vHoF
vMoL
vCR
vAS

Easy:
vSO
vHRC
vAA

This would be very different if we're also including +1/+2 and hardmodes

This is pretty accurate ⬆️ for anyone still curious I have clears on all and VDSR tops my list. Very mech heavy, first boss and final boss bubbles are group killers.
