Follower dungeons not working correctly

Community General Discussion

So I’ve been doinge LOTS of follower dungeons, mostly in tank role so I can learn how to tank them, and so far I have encountered a ton of problems. In Algeth’ar Academy for example, the Overgrown Ancient cannot be done (as a tank.) You can’t kill the adds quick enough and the npcs aren’t killing them or are killing them super slowly. Once they sprout into little adds, they quickly overwhelm the party completely and wipe. Had 5 wipes trying now.

Also the npcs jump into mobs and generally pull things when you try to avoid mobs, so you have to kill a lot of packs even if in a regular dungeon you can run past and skip. Also their damage output feels quite low overall (imho.) It’s also annoying that on classes with a battle rez, I cannot use that if one of the party members dies. They definitely need to look at the follower dungeons and make some changes.

I still am not sure how I’ll complete the one boss as a tank in Algeth’ar. It just cannot be done. :frowning:

They do award loot, but it’s heavy RNG. On one char I got 3 pieces of loot in one dungeon, and on a couple other chars, I got 0 gear. :expressionless:

Its normal so yes its totallly normal

I’ll never understand tryhards trying a casual feature and then complain it’s too casual.

Bots are tuned for a casual stroll through, not for you to speedrun it.

Now if some parts can’t be done that should be given as feedback, but the dungeon being too slow for you is a non issue.

confirming here too, been running them for 2 days now, no loot from bosses as a 67 hunter

I have done all 8 dungeons as the BM Hunter, had no issues with any fights, quite enjoyed the experience.

In terms of loot - as I had never done any of the dungeons, had all the dungeon quests piled to do and they all counted in the follower dungeons (normal) - as a result I got several manuscripts, gear counted towards the dungeon set and I saw those rings that can be used to get the ottuk mount and achievements :+1:

Will take another char through at some point to get their transmog pieces from the quest rewards :+1:

I got upgrades from 2/3 dungeons I did. Leveling alts, obviously.

Edit: Got 4 or 5 pieces of loot out of 4 dungeons. Nice to do content with PL again(I have only done LFR the last year, so first time with PL for me in ages. Good reminder of how much better it works in my case.

I did three dungeons with followers today. All worked very easily, as expected since they’re normal mode and my paladin level 70 must be overgeared for them.

In Uldaman I got a ilvl 421 piece from a chest (at the three dwarfs), which surprised me. I thought the drops will have a lower cap than that, but no, they can go to 421.

I’ve done these on my main and I’ve had moderate amount of loot from them, which included two dragon cosmetic appearances and a cloak which I didn’t have as an appearance. What is good about it is that you can complete quests with follower dungeons, so perhaps then there’s less pressure in a normal group in that regard as you don’t need to convince players “to let you finish a quest.” In the latter situation I find the follower dungeon handy.

That shouldn’t happen. Which tank, what level, what ilevel? If it’s a 70, I’ll see if I can reproduce the problen. Not that I’m an expert, but a second view can’t hurt.

Or otherwise you could switch spec for that boss and switch back after.

Or I can come and DPS to get you past it.

Ive been running them a couple of days now without any boss loot…not fun like this

Im just gonna use that for dungeon quests & grinding those items that can be traded for mounts. Just got done farming the 3 breaths, only need the rings & im done with follower dungeons.
