DPS checks in grind zones are not fun (Aphrodon Temple)

For the record, 400ap, but can hit 2120 full buff. This post is after two hours at this spot so blah blah blah skill issue git gud, sure

Remember when grinding was just a chill thing you did? Remember when you'd have a something on in the background when you did it? I used to watch movies and shows, I never really cared about trash per hour that much tbh, plus Awak Striker is like B Tier pve at best but he's comfortable. 

DPS checks have completely shifted the paradigm for grinding now -it's a sweat fest, and its stressful. The game even gives you a prompt when you're too slow and punishes you for it, which just kills the vibe, heaven forbid I don't do a perfect skill rotation once. 

I'm not enjoying this new grind zone, I'll keep trying, but I hope to see some tweaks to the mechanic soon. Maybe a bit more time and it will click but my reasons for grinding are not this serious
