I appreciate all your answers but you have to admit that GW2 is not really casual friendly. I have seen a lot of players playing the game on and off with several months of pause sometimes year. The game is insanely good when you have people around. Lake Doric when people are doing the events is quite enjoyable. It is just that as an MMO player, I was not prepared being banged like helll against basic mobs. E.G., Lake Doric white mantle mambo jambo combo, 2x Mesmer 1 cleric 1 knight is ok but the mesmer just wont die and do insane damage for basic mobs. I am running a power scrapper build full berserker equipment with stunbreak on but you have to admit that GW2 is pretty strict with its dodge/Stunbreak mechanics and some combos from time to time can be really irritating. Now I do not know how you could simply power through Caudecus fight for instance. I mean knowing the fight now would be easier but remember, this content is hardly group material now. Soloing LW S3 was really a nightmare and it was only because of this dodge mechanic which can, sometimes, require near perfect reaction (I do not think Casual players can get there). As mentioned Veteran players who are playing cool not pushing too much but really playing consistantly are better off than players going back to it once in a while. I am not complaining about the game which I found enjoyable and I am having a blast running it. My post is more a feedback on the difficulty gap there is between the "Chapter" and the mechanics are way easier in groups which can become rare the later you go back to that said content; Anyway, thanks for the answers and cheering me back up I am at Chapter 5 of S3 so PoF is near.

Hello, Beware spoiler ahead for LW content. First post because it is 2:37 am and I just defeated Caudecus in LW S3. So, here is a feedback, I finished Vanilla content with my personal story and I was so amazed and charmed by the content GW2 has to offer that I wanted to go deeper. I bought all extensions and I even got the LW unlocked. When I entered S2 it was cool and all and then I got into HoT. Oh my, where is the warning saying: "You'll die from small raptors"? or anything like: "Ok here is the real stuff and dark souls is a joke". Honestly, the difficulty gap is so insane I just wanted to go through HoT fast to get to PoF because it appears to be more 'solo-friendly'. And here is the issue, this difficulty is going up in LW S3. The Bronze Jade archer is able to lock you permantly in small areas (like caves and hallway). Manor Caudecus is a nightmare, zones with events are packed with mobs locking you like you were the number one threat since they are born. What I see in GW2 is that everything revolves around the dodge, stunbreak and shield break mechanism. Yet, it is the hardest feature I have ever seen in any MMO. In LW S3, there are so many mobs that could stunlock you forever (I am engineer and even the belt stun break is not enough, I need like a invicibility frame of 3 sec to have a chance to survive). So yes , I did succeed killing Caudecus, after dying 6 times. That, after the small raptors banging me 7 of them at a time, now replaced by a fine mix of, either carnival mambo jumbo fanatics coordinating every spells to one shot me or Jade armors having shields and stuns and life like it was an Ancestral Dragon, I wonder... Is PoF any better? I know it is an MMO but getting a full group running LW stories like I wanted to go for a mid level fractal is not easy.
