Duo Maelstrom Arena

As a personal request, one thing I would love to see is a duo Maelstrom Arena.
How it would work: An instance supporting 2 players would open if a player enters Maelstrom Arena while in a group. This allows people to still get the original Maelstrom experience, or try it with a friend.
One thing this could help would be the dread of going through this dungeon. Too many friends and guides I talk to hate going here for their weeklies, but it is required because they want some elusive gear, and they figure they'd rather a leader board score. Tbe pressure has been reduced slightly thanks to a guaranteed drop, but there is still another concern.
Multilayer aspect. I get that having a solo trial is cool, but I don't much enjoy seperating myself from others for too long on an MMO.
Of course, one of two things would have to happen for this to work. Ideally, seperate leader boards and add a section for duos, so that solo runs are not suddenly impacted score wise. Alternatively, no leader board for this.
Mobs already hit hard enough to force knowledge, so I would recommend just beefing up each mob by a factor (say, 1.25x health or 1.25x as many mobs).
Thoughts from others?

✭✭✭✭I like the idea. This is an MMO after all.
In addition to buffing the mobs significantly, I also think they would have to debuff the players - probably a 40% reduction to damage/healing output and a similar reduction to HP. This is necessary because you would be able to CC twice as many mobs and mob focus would be divided. I think most of the mechanics would translate fine, they may just need to be changed slightly so that both players are in constant danger.Edited by Solariken on August 16, 2016 11:22PM0 -

✭I like this idea, have completed vMA enough times but would still love to run it with my brother, or a friend. As has already been said; mechanics would have to be tweaked but not significantly. Theoretically easy to implement.PC | EU0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's like.... the only real solo content. I want it to stay as is.
A true challenge with it's own unique leaderboard. We all have our own opinions though
I see why you'd want a duo version, but I personally never would.0 -

The problem is that you are forced to do solo content in order to get the best gear for group content. I feel lucky I'm a tank and I don't ever have to do that boring alone stuff in an MMO...1
