Vateshran Hollows Brimstone Den Lava Fire Damage

Could the damage dealt by the environmental lava in the Brimstone Den be reverted back to normal? It feels like a punishment to even accidentally dip your toe into lava because all of a sudden a fourth to a half of your health is gone. The rift area leading up to the red orb can sometimes feel incompletable due to how random the rifts appear on the islands in the middle of the lava lake. You either end up taking too long because of the sheer amount of damage you take or you just die. Making the change so that the damage is unavoidable is fine but the damage it deals is too excessive, like smothering a chocolate cake with chocolate chips and molten fudge in the center with chocolate sauce. Please revert the damage, ZOS.

    Look up how long you can survive in lava in real life.
    Some games I've played made touching lava an instant death, so this is not bad at all.

    This isnt real life, environmental damage and artificial difficulty are such a petty mechanics in a one person instance. This doent happen in stonefalls overworld,bloodroot forge, the cauldron.

    I don't know how other people deal with it, but I sprint through spamming my shield button (hardened ward) as I approach that health orb.

    I complained about that change, too: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/565097/vateshran-hollows-lava

    The lava fire damage is just to much and should be reduced - at least when the Brimstone Den is the second arena you visit...

    Reaching the orbs on the little islands at the final boss seems not possible anymore - maybe on a sorc with streak. Either make them not spawn on these islands, or revert the damage.

    I roll dodge on bow bar for major expedition and sprint and it isn't an issue at all? These are mag builds unable to reach that area I'm assuming?

    Lol, that is nothing compared to the 2 hours I spent trying the last boss after the 3 blue, red, green areas.

    Even on normal I don’t know if I can take it. I was trying to get this achievement before the update tomorrow.

    Is this really normal mode? I’m not the top dps but I’m better than average.

    Either slot a heal, a shield, or streak, any of these will do.

    Apparently not. I only parse 60k and i got spirit slayer. I don’t know what you think the average is. To me 60k is about that.

    The average is around 35k, from my experience. It's also kind of weird that you just assume a dummy parse problen has anything to do with it, especially since you're own dummy parse isn't even bottom of the top tier. 🤔 Considering it's normal, the problem is much more likely to be doing mechanics wrong. Probably not hard targeting the explodey mob.

    Test dummies don't mean squat! I'm a stam Dk, and I average about 40k on the dummy, but dummies don't move or have mechanics to them. Some people just want burn everything down as quick as possiable, but in some fights you really have to pace yourself and know the mechanics of the fight or your going die no matter how much dps you can dish out. One other thing, running this dungeon with the pale ring on a dps class does help. 😁
