I feel bored as we try to chop down health of bosses in vet or even normal dungeons
The rewards feel lackluster. Also difference isn't minor but non dlc dungeons will be long now and people who could compete vet dungeon dlcs are failing.

K9002✭✭✭✭✭When this was predicted 6 weeks ago, white knights said that it won't affect the low and medium level group content. Turns out your average PUG is struggling even worse than in the most pessimistic warning posts on PTS forum. Tanks are going to leave for good at this rate. And not only tanks, it will ruin any attempts at casual pledge runs and trials. Flash content that lasts 10-20 minutes has been growing in popularity for a good reason. This is the opposite of what's popular and approachable to busy people.17 -

It doesnt surprise me. Vets, in most cases, would have taken longer prior, so normals are seeing a bigger increase in completion times. Id guess some of the vet DLCs may also see some longer times and probably more runs fails. Base game vets will probably be the faster dungeons for a PUG, at least for a while.0 -

It's not average time for me. Usually 15 to 30 mins especially with high cp. I also top tier sets.
I will hold judgement. I believe though my 1 hour will be on low bar and we will see people complain more about random group members

✭The problem with changes like this is that it doesn't account for random peeps who don't check the forums or test on the pts. So on live patch day many players login and are left wondering about what they need to change to get back what they lost.
I personally still find the game fun, but for my DPS setup, I'll have to spend time grinding for the new set that I need.(AD) Artim X/Xirtām/Måtrix |PC/NA| Casual staff wielding vampire sorcerer/templar/arcanistElectric-Burn/Stunhttps://media.giphy.com/media/Av0zcKH3i2BkaY1GXW/giphy.gif/https://c.tenor.com/jQHdFftrgwMAAAAC/tenor.gifElectric-Heal- Damage Dealing Build.

Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

They made a blanket 10% HP reduction to all bosses in vet dungeons, and to bosses, champions and bannermen in all vet trials (with little info on what the last 2 might include). No adjustments to arenas at all.2 -

from the patch notes:Dungeons- Reduced the health of all bosses in Veteran difficulty.
Trials- Reduced the health of all bosses, Champions and Bannermen in Veteran difficulty.
so all dungeon and trial, but not arena, and as far as im aware it is only -10%4 -

Yet another way that the floor was lowered and the ceiling raised. Normal difficulty players with nerfed damage and healing will be fighting full strength bosses, while vet players get it 10% easier.

K9002✭✭✭✭✭I just came back from vet pledges. 3 runs because I had to redo Wayrest Sewers for the hard mode. It was a very mixed experience. The first group was made of 2k+ CP people with high PvP ranks and one damage dealer was a Nightblade. Blasted through the dungeon like it was normal difficulty. Then it got a lot worse. People in the 800-1600 CP range, the whole group did around 40-45k DPS on taunted single targets and much less AoE damage. Every trash pull took 20-30 seconds, I've never had a group this slow before U35. Damage dealers in those groups happened to be Templars and Wardens.
I was supposed to do normal LoM but I was tired after the slog with no damage groups. Stress injury in the wrist started flaring up after around an hour of dungeoneering. The heals are noticeably weaker too. Never before did I have to stack Ritual, Springs and Echoing Vigor just to prevent people from dying to trash packs. I stopped using Radiating Regen weeks ago in anticipation of this patch.3
