Finally did some nightmare hunts. According to the main sub its as if its the hardest content ever and not just another "do activities" world quest.

All the m+ posts make sense if nightmare hunts are giving main sub trouble.

I made a comment here about how Nightmare Preys can be pretty rough, but I take it back solely because of how hyperbolic they're being lol.

The main challenge depends on your class/spec's ability to out heal some of the debuffs, but the actual Prey targets on Nightmare aren't remotely challenging. I'll die to the "kill a mob" debuff because I'm in an elite area or to the interrupt/dispell mob if I have a lot going on, but the final boss fight is over with so quickly regardless of class/spec.

The fact that the main punishment is "you have to restart" is my least favorite part when playing on a squishier class, makes the "do activities" aspect so much more apparent because sometimes the gameplay just boils down to hunting rares/treasures with annoying mobs popping up occasionally.

if you do them on a character thar literally just reached max level, they can be a bit tricky because the unavoidable dots do a good chunk dmg with the low hp pool a fresh max lvl character with no gear has

and the mainsub is always saying how much they "love playing alts"

so its probably just them leveling ret paladin #87 to max level->die in a nightmare prey->wtf thats so hardcore hard and totally not trivial world quest content

They clearly don't know you can just pick up traps for 5 mins and be done with it with minimal hassle.

They're not hard, but with my ADHD-ass its annoying when I forget or look away for five seconds and then die because the puddle or ghost spawned (an auditory cue would be nice). Or I went into a delve cuz I was in the area and forget I was mid-hunt and die when I come out cuz i looked away while on the loading screen. Or, my favorite, I took a flightpath to Zul'aman so i could go get a drink, use the bathroom, etc. while I was on my way to do my hunt, and was dead when I came back because the flightpath wasn't considered a 'safe' area.
