I have run dungeons 8 times, 4 times in the lvl 16-20 dungeon and 4 times in the 25 dungeon. I haven't wiped once. As long as you have a cleric, they're relatively easy. Otherwise, you have potions with 10 sec CD.

The lvl 20~ Skirmish was quite hard though with my group (1 tank, 2 TR, 2 CW). 2 of our partymembers died when boss had 20% HP. It was quite hard to bring him down, took all of my concentration...

Never a full wipe though.

With that said though, maybe someone a bit higher level than me can illuminate us on the difficulty later on in the game.

For a while I was surprised how not-awful Neverwinter is.

Until I realized how pay2win it is.

The small number of abilities you can use also makes it pretty boring. The talent trees are also pretty bad in my opinion because you get so many points, you can basically level every ability. WoW talent trees in vanilla were better. The abilities are pretty uninspired and uninteresting for the most part (having played Guardian and Cleric to lvl 30 or so). Quest design is worse than WoW (do quest, get sent back to Sgt. Fucking Knox, get another quest somewhere else... and back to Sgt. Knox we go). Or doing 3 quests and 2 of them lead you to the next area, but you have to backtrack for the one other quest. Stuff like that, all the time.
Oh, and absolutely HORRIBLE tool tips. They're failing on the most basic of levels. They often don't tell you how much damage your abilities do or how much your buffs do. Sometimes they downright lie to you. (Examples: I have a buff that increases my groups movement speed (by whatever, they don't say) and they temporarily get a portion of my hp (they don't say how much). Once I leveled an ability that was just like Cleave (my main attack) and only did more damage and healed me. So I leveled it and spent a point on it. Turns out the tool tip lied, it didn't actually have 5 splash like the tool tip said, it only had 2. And then they expect you to pay money to respec. Fuck them.)

And the worst thing about Neverwinter: You are permanently animation locked. You can't move while using ANY abilities.

Awful design. Clunky combat. 3/10; waste of time.

Level 60 dungeon bosses can get messy, there are usually alot of adds and everyone will be taking damage. This can be very stressful but is also very rewarding if things go smooth because everyone is doing a good job.
At the moment the game does not really cater to the typical tank/healer/3dd composition used in most MMOs. Easier dungeons can be done without a Cleric (not really recommended though) while some groups even bring 2 for the harder content (mainly to compensate for lack of gear or lack of CC). The tanking role varies - some bosses are easier with a TR tanking and killing the boss while the rest of the group takes care of adds.

I tried running idris or whatever last night without a healer. Unless your entire group is ridiculously geared, i suggest bringing cleric.

breezed through all the bosses until the last one. Her daze cloud is just too much for a TR imo. I'm at 7.6k GS.

Same.....was that you in my group as well? We tried to kite the adds and burst Idris down, failed with half a bar left on the final attempt.

If you were on dragon, that might be possible. We had a wipe in idris's room when the idiots pulled too many ads. Boggles mind how 2x CWs can't clear normal mobs.

Yep...Dragon. I was TR - Ghandi LOL.

I really wanted to like this game, but god damn there's a lot of stuff to hate, the worst offenders being:

- Charging $6 for a respec is among greediest moves in gaming history. Respecs are a fact of life in MMOs: people want to experiment, people make mistakes, people want to specialize (for PvE or PvP). Having to pay $6 every time you do is simply ridiculous.

- All gear being bind on equip combined with the cash shop and auction house makes this the first MMO I know of where you can literally buy the best gear in the game without any time or effort investment.

- Disguising a soft launch as an open beta. If this was a proper open beta, all these nasty exploits would've been found (by the players) and fixed before they started taking peoples money in the cash shop.

At current market price, a full respec requires 219,000 Astral Diamonds which is converted to 600 zen. If you don't play the AH market, you're capped at refining the AD at 24,000 per day, requiring 9 days grind minimum. Of course, the AH is mandatory if you want to actually afford one.
