    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Horvantud the fire Maw was also nerfed recently for reasons I am unsure of. [...] Now there's a few dremora here or there, and they can be ignored completely while dps focuses on the boss. Those ads used to b the killerz of many a pug run.

    Yeah, If Horvantud the fire Maw is the one I called the 'Crocodile boss' then I agree the last nerf totally killed the fun :'(

    Don't nerf veteran dungeons please! Nerf is what made them look long...

    Yeah, for sure.

    Just the fact that the focus has shifted from focusing the ads to ignoring the ads and merely dpsing the boss which itself does not have any threatening attacks, I think that shows the extent to which the nerfs have gone. Thus, no further nerfs are necessary

    Iirc the fight was always about DPS > adds if your damage was high enough and the healing was good enough

    The whole skipping across the lava thing......

    the first time I ever did this dungeon was a mess because of this.

    it was a pledge so I queued up on my tank, Got my group nearly instantly. See they were already at the endish area those side platforms. I don't know about the tricks to skip anything, but I do take the flashy portal thinking that it should get me close, only not close enough i pop out of the portal and I am swarmed with trash mobs....only I'm on a Tank, they aren't killing me...but it will take me forever to cut through them all. No one is using chat to talk, and no one is coming to help me....
    took a while but I dragged a train of mobs along...and said you forgot to kill these. then we finished it.
    Ummm stuff… about stuff…or something.

    With good DPS you can finish it in 15-20 mind max
    proof? Highest speedrun on youtube is 25 minutes. Speedrun achivement set on 30 minutes. No way you can finish this dungeon within 15 minutes. Maybe with 3 high-end dps + tank-dps hybrid, shorcuts and full speed mounts. And yet unbelievable.

    Run 4 DPS end of story, you're probably another PUG who thinks you can't run VDSA or VMA in under 30 mins as well

    IMO Skoria is one of the easier fights in the dungeon. I will agree that it seems too long when you're not grouped with decent players.

    I like this dungeon as is. It does not need another nerf. And not every dungeon needs to be trimmed down to be as fast and easy as the easiest dungeon. In fact, I liked this one more before they knocked the stuffing out of it. The only challenge left is that the final boss is a DPS check. Without two good DPS, vet hardmode is not a gimme.

    Speedrunning and no deathing COA2 is easy, how about whiners be nerfed , stop ruining the game cos your a terrible player OP.
    Before you asking CoA 2 nerfed, I think we should nerf imperial city prison instead.

    ICP has already been nerfed, back in the mists of time when IC came out, it was actually hard to do, then scrubs ruined it.

    Incredible, next thing will be another whine post about VMA and how hard it is.

    Welp, what I'm trying to said here is.. ICP is easy, but it's too long. Just like OP complained CoA2 is long. No one here say it's too HARD.

    I quest for this in PS4 last night when it was the daily.

    First group, straight to last everyone 250 CP or less, wiped seven times on non-hard mode, I left.

    Next group, took 45 min, one tank the healer was a stamina Nightblade, all CP cap, done in 20 min with hard mode and 15 seconds short of a 1 plantform clear.

    PUG life is pain but just don’t have the consistent schedule for consistent time I’m game.

    One of the many reasons I take periodic breaks from this game.

    It's feels really long for a struggling pug. Those 2 dreadful platforms prior to the final boss make it feel long for everyone else.

    Hmmm well myself and a few mates done COA2 under 20 mins, cannot remember about prison however.

    A good group is needed sir and to OP. :p

    If I want to do my daily random and this or DCII pops up I take a look at the group and if they don't look strong I just quit without a word. I'd rather take the 15 minute penalty than spend 90 minutes doing this with a bad group.

    I had a group take 40 minutes to do BCI a couple of weeks ago when I was on my new level 10 healer. If you are a CP780 you can force your way through anything and those people have no understanding of what it is like being low level in a bad pug where the "tank" has 14k health and uses 2H/DW, the first DPS just spams light bow attacks and the second DPS hard casts crystal frags.

    I have never heard a call for a nerf because it something is to long.

    That is the best base game dungeon. It certainly does not need to be changed.

    BTW, avoid DLC dungeons if you think CoA II is to long.

    EDIT: this guy has already complained about this dugeon already and also has shown he does not have an interest in the DLC dungeons either. lol
