Scalecaller Hard Mode vs Fang Lair Hard Mode; Which is harder?

Chibs

I’d just like to make a poll to see which one was harder for you guys to complete. I’m curious because I personally think Scalecaller Hard Mode is WAY easier than Fang Lair HM by far. I did Scalecaller Hard Mode in a couple hours but I have been stuck attempting Fang Lair Hard Mode every night for the past four nights for a couple hours each time, and I have not completed it. I know I will eventually, but since I am having so much trouble with it, I’m curious to see how you guys feel about the topic.

But March of Sacrifices HM puts both to shame.

Scalecaller is easy as all mechanics comes from the same direction, Fang Lair punishes high dps too much xD

Mountain God in my pocket, but multiple attempts at Leave No Bone Unbroken is still at large.
Too much randomness on the last boss.

Scalecaller. It can be cheesed by bringing 3 high dps dds and forcing her to go from one ice phase to another, but it only proves that its badly designed.
Fang lair can be annoying with the oneshots, but I think it's more fair overall.

Got mountain god yesterday after around 9 attempts with a semi experienced group. Tank and 2nd DD are not at CP cap yet and 2nd DD is stam which is just worse in there.

What makes the fight easier is that the tactic is just repetitive and straight forward. The boss has only 4 attacks and once everyone knows how to deal with all of them as well as standing on the line properly it's rather simple. High DPS also makes the fight a lot easier.

I haven't beaten vFL HM yet, but tbh I have spend way less time on that than in vSP in total. However there is more RNG and high DPS gets punished at least in the first phase.

Will be trying to get no bone unbroken in the next few days, but we'll prolly have to make some build adjustments. Some classes have a big disadvantage with mobility so we'll prolly have to use some swift jewelry and lot's of cp in sprinting and tumbling.

As a tank I'd say vFL. I hate the scarabs and the knockback from the add heavy attacks.

I could see where a good group that has done it lots of times would say Scalecaller is easier. For a first clear however, I think Fang Lair was easier, as assuming you have DPS that can fend for themselves, you can get away with a sloppy clear. Scalecaller punishes missteps more, and your group really does need to be more coordinated.

The flip side is that my smoothest clear of either of them is definitely Scalecaller. If you have really high DPS that can push the phases, the fight is very circular.

Scalecaller by far.

Scalecaller is a much easier dungeon overall though, and the non-HM is a cakewalk.

I think you may have selected the wrong one by accident. The poll question was which one is harder, not easier
