Which vet dungeon is harder?

    Bloodroot forge
    For me its Bloodroot, lots to take care of as a tank during the trash pulls with lots of elites, and the last boss is a fricking RNG fest. WILL YOU WIN? ITS UP TO RNG! Fricking lava pool's spawn in completely random places. Sometimes they box you in, others they spawn super far away and never touch you.

    Yea this Dungeon is unbeatable without a pretty advanced tank. Other than that if your in an inexperienced group id still say WGT. Portals just kill people who aren’t prepared and if you dont have the dps to mitigate mechanics its pretty unbeatable.

    I think tank makes the biggest difference . Bloodroot was a piece of cake on vet the first time i did it. No thanks to me at all.
    We only died on time on final . One dps died ... the next and said he left to get a drink thouvht it was a wipe came back to a res and boss at 5% ..
    Second time was a mess.

    Wgt had a great tank made it easily to last boss . Died on last boss but with that tank seemed doable . I got link death tho. That hurt.
    .
    I know i pretty much suk but i am trying to become a better player. That said . With a good group they are all doable
    . I think group compsitiion makes the differences. Tank dps and heals in that order.

    As a dd pugger I would say bloodroot is the hardest dungeon to pug atm. Mazzatum not far behind but it's a bit easier to carry first timer group through that dungeon IMO.

    I think I have completed about 50% of the bloodroot pug runs. Overall I would say that from a dd's perspective to have a good solid tank is the most important requirement to complete these dlc dungeons. If the tank is legit I usually don't care much if the other group members are pretty much useless low level first timers :)

    (1) Mazzatum hm is the hardest hm though. I think I have managed to do only one or two mazzatum hm clears with group finder pug groups. (2) Bloodroot hm last boss is difficult to pug, but it's mostly just about to get a bit lucky with the lava spawns and to have good tank who can handle boss and the two adds. (3) Craddle of shadow hm last boss can be pretty difficult as well no much room for carry others there. In my experience (4) Falkreath hold hm is pretty easy though contrary to what many seems to think. Good tank + dd can pretty much beat it duo in my experience. (5 & 6) Imperial city dungeon hm last bosses can be finished solo if the other group members fail. No problem to pug those at all.

    I'm undecided on which ones I find hardest, but Mazz, ICP & WGT are the ones I find hardest to PUG on vet. I don't know what it is (other than shoddy RNG on my PUG's) but I cannot do these dungeons cleanly when they're dailies.

    I haven'y tried the 2 newest on vet yet, but out of the other four DLC the only one I haven't completed on vet is ICP because Ibomez has the atronachs that enrage and as far as I can tell it's a real DPS race to kill them before that, otherwise death for an average (bad) group. And obviously normal mode in no way sets you up or helps....we need a medium mode and an even harder mode for the nutters.

    Mazzatun, CoS and WGT don't have any real dps checks like that and even though it takes longer than the pro's, bosses can be worked down by following mechanics. Genuinely I now find CoS enjoyable, Maz is ***, I ain't gonna beat around the bush and WGT is always dependant on if you get people that know the mechanics but I'm *** cursed when it comes to ICP>

    I haven't attempted all of these in vet but trying to run VCoS with pugs has been the bane of my existence.

    AFAIK vDSA is pretty hard, also the new Dragon Bones dungeons.
    With strength and intelligence comes hard work.

    Which is why not a lot of people are strong nor intelligent.

    The last boss is just a slugfest of a fight.

    I'm still not sure how we even managed to finish it the first time, but by god it was an effort and a half.

    It is still to this day the longest dungeon I've ever run with mates, discounting first time VDSA
