please God just call it port

The term larboard is a sailing term which fell out of use 200 years ago or more.

It's not at all unique in that regard, though. A good twentyith of raid mechanic AoE work in that manner.

I'll agree, though, that it would be less disconcerting if it just pulsed a single wave of the AoE indicator across the space, to make the area clear without appearing as a zone indicator. Of course, I'd also recommend the same for all AoEs that similarly snapshot before the zones' appearance.

Easiest way I've found to avoid either one is to stand right underneath Omega, this usually gives plenty of time to dodge it when the marker finally flashes up. There's a notch in the marker toward his center.

Yeah, ever since Stormblood hit, which was my point if you'd been keeping up. It's definitely a rising trend.

I wouldn't suggest standing underneath the boss the entire fight though, there is a mustard bomb tether that will be hard to see for the OT that is trying to pick it up and it might hit the raid.

I said it's becoming especially proliferent in Stormblood (to the point where it's particularly noticeable), not that it never ever happened prior to that.

Wisecracks only make you look clever if you're actually keeping up.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it so much if his front and back ends didn't look so similar.
