Euphrosyne feels a bit lacking

I find all alliance raids really bad, I only do them for glams and stuff generally didn't enjoy the first endwalker one much, don't enjoy this new one outside the music being pretty decent, I've been getting annoyed recently because I have to run the new raid as a tank for the top I want but i keep getting unlucky with the loot so that's sure fun, I much rather be doing literally anything else.

Never really liked 24 man content, feels like I have too little impact on anything, never really enjoyed them for some reason, unless they do split group mechs (which just feels like a 8 man raid, which my brain likes lol).

Anyone else find an excessive amount of melee downtime on almost all the bosses? I get having to dodge stuff sometimes but there were at least one mech on each boss where my character was just dodging for 10-20s and I just don't find that all that fun.

I didn't notice anything like that? Have any specific mechanics on a boss as an example?

Halone during the memory game depending on the pattern. Last boss has those giant aoes. First boss when she checkerboards+point blank feels like it takes forever to resolve. Boss 2 the knockback portion.

Halone when she does the ice that bounces inward+proximity aoe also feels like it takes forever to resolve.

You can attack during all of those I believe. Max melee for most mechanics. Some depend on tank positioning, but it was never more than 2-3 seconds per mechanic if you had to disengage for real. Not 10-20.

News to me. I remember a lot of people hating on them for other reasons, like "this should have just been an event, why did they make a collab our alliance raids for a whole expansion" type complaints. Never "omg raid tier so hard"



Mhach raids were also easy. Only annoying boss was ozma because people can't mechanics.

If I'm not mistaken, back then didn't the first boss from Dun Scaith blew you off the platform when it appears? Seeing people randomly go to the middle before it shows up makes me think they're gonna be blown off lol. For Nier imho the only raid I find fun is Puppet's Bunker.

Wish they would speed up a lot of the mechanics... they give you sooo much time... boss casts/plays animation for a few secs, finishes and aoe indicator pops up for another few secs, aoe indicators vanishes then the actual damage is dished out, lordy...

the new trial is like: wait a second or two i will set up the field with circles.... wait another second i have to summon a fireball.... here you have another second for looking at the lines... now i'll make them turn.... here we go dodge it



the slow build up on the mechanics already existed in eden normal. it was nicely done... in aglaia abd euphoryne its just over the top.... with it getting wors since the bosses die so quickly -.-

Hashmal (2nd boss of Rabanastre) and Construct 7 (3rd boss in Ridorana) would like to have a word.

Never found them difficult.



Some people are just really bad at reading mechanics.



People still stand under pillars today.
