Preface: The Bozjan Southern Front is better than Eureka in every possible way and much more accessible, but also a hell of a grind. That said if doing current level Extreme or Savage difficulty stuff scares you off, while the normal modes of these aren't QUITE up there, they're a good deal more exacting and precise than any Duty Finder content.
THAT ALL SAID: DR's AOE mistake penalty, on normal mode, is a little too much.
Eat two mechanics (that you aren't supposed to eat, as there's one boss where you have to eat specific attacks to live) within two minutes of each other and you get doom. Die 3 seconds later.
Last boss' tankbuster applies Doom that can be Esuna'ed. You ... might not have a healer! And status effects are so rare there, you might not have the Esuna Lost Action in the party!
That said, on all those, it's both hilarious and a sad state of the DPS-or-nothing mentality a lot of players have when you're having to be both the tank and healer at the same time.
On the one hand I think having more harder content is fucking great. Dunno if I'll ever get in on a full 48 player DR Savage, but I like that it's there.
On the other hand, the randomness can make it harder than it already would be. You already can't be carried through DR as it is, and that's... fine, but if they either like.
luckily I don't feel TOO big a need for the gear, at least yet. Unsure if I'll ever get up towards DR Savage, and I'm pushing 520-> on my gear outside Bozja.
