Cone attacks become AoE when a mob turns

[Insaniac]

This is annoying. Wiped to an ADL today because it did a 360 degree Tera Slash and killed every DD we had even though we were fanned out. Normally Tera Slash would only kill 1 or 2 DDs because it's a narrow cone but since someone pulled hate while it was in the middle of the TP move it hit everyone.

To fix this maybe you could make it so mobs cant change target while readying a cone attack.

This is a player fault, they really don't need to spend time on fixing this.

How exactly is it the players fault?

I's funny when it kills one person on each side, but none of the people inbetween.

How did this question actually get likes? o.O lol

Because ADL is a zergfest and they purposefully faned out to avoid the conal aoe, FYI hate randomly changes when you're zerging so i reiterate his question how is it the players fault? we all know hate mechanics are level 60 broken.

I could equally ask you how your post got a like. Edit: apparently they unliked your post

Learn to keep hate on one person? [/sarcasm]

Could've been that 1% chance where someone gets hate as soon as ADL starts using his attack...but by then when the TP Moves goes off it already hits the person right in front of them. Which is weird. What other explanation could there be for ADL to suddenly turn his cone attack into an AoE?

I found out that I clicks to reply with quote on the wrong post. LOL.

I meant to ask the guy who said: It's a player fault.

This is what lack of sleep does to me. QQ

Oh, and to point out the real issue here:

We all know hate mechanics are level 60 broken.

Did you just say to learn to keep hate on one person, not only in FFXI in general, but during a zerg?

He did.

Although, in all fairness, any job known as a staple "tank class" (cough, PLD) should be able to talk with relative success even in a zerg. Just sayin'.
