What is great about The Cauldron dungeon

I was excited when I realised how fine the balance between the difficulties!
Normal: extremely easy, just to see the story.
Veteran: interesting and challenging sometimes; valuable reward in the end.
Hard mode: the gap between vet and HM is huge! Despite I couldn't beat it at the first try, I can confidently say it's nothing like "slightly more fat boss", it is another level required all of the party's skills!
Well done!

    I didn't notice any extra mechanics on HM. Boss just had more hp and more aoe and adds. Our group dps was slightly over 120k and everything just melted. I expected more tbh. Very lazy from Zos.

    Actually had a lot of trouble soloing the last boss on normal compared to villa. So I wouldn't say extremely easy.

    Zos doesn't make dungeons for high DPS XD

    Most dungeon mechs can be outright skipped with high DPS and they (Zos) don't seem fond of forcing mechanics on the player with immunity phases or increased add spawn if you "overburn".

    I for one enjoyed Cauldron, difficulty wise it's about on par with WGT which means it'll be a Puggable HM when it's a pledge. It'll be accessable to more.

    Visually the new dungeons are well done, but in terms of difficulty and challenge I was very very disappointed with the new DLC dungeons. Going in blindly and almost completing the trifecta (which was basically the case for our group) should never be a thing, not even close.

    Maybe I just suck or something, but I've tanked this a few times while pugging daily vet.

    It's no where as easy as WGT, like seriously 4th and 5th boss gave me a lot of trouble, this one time we even had to disband at 4th boss because everyone else kept dying seconds after the titan spawned. BRF and FH level sounds about right.
