There's plenty of mechanic to go around that fight to make it more difficult than either of the other two bosses in Sastasha HM.

Uh it's definitely possible to heal all the dots. I do it all the time and so has every other healer in my FC. Prey can be passed but there is no point. DPS not being stunned will kill the boss faster and Tail Screw can never kill you unless the dot isn't healed so might as well have the tank eat the stun.

I can second this I've never had any issue Esuna/leeching the DoT's off on time for WHM and SCH.
Only issue I ever have is last boss where everyone really really tries as hard as they can to stay out of range ofme as much as possible xD

I can confirm you can pass Prey. I regularly take it off my tank, or if tanking, pass it to one of my DPS who can't stun. The idea is to ensure that someone, tank or DPS can stun the next incoming Tail Screw. And it IS possible to remove all the slime debuffs, especially if the above method is used. Not easy, no, but totally doable.

And yes, the Kraken's HP is a little much.

Re: Kraken's HP

He seems to "cap" the number of arms he uses at around 50% or so when he starts throwing in waves of all-arms that just smack people around for a little while. I feel the fight would flow better if his HP was reduced so he was only at 25 or 30% hp at that point.

Please reduce it, or have damaging the arms also hurt the kraken considering it's just a part to the monster itself.

Ignoring tentacles and just killing arms speeds up the fight a lot. Also there are break points (I know the last is at 40%, not sure on the others off the top of my head) where the boss resets his arms without casting World's End so you can just burn him and ignore all adds if he's close to those.

Not only that, you don't need to "guess" which dps he's going to Tail Screw as he turns to them when he starts the cast.

I agree with the HP fight. It's not a difficult fight at all but compared to the length of the dungeon itself, his screentime is WAY longer than it should be. And it doesn't help that he's a rehashed boss from Hullbreaker (which annoys me the most).

It is a rather boring fight it's really attrition.

All just cuz SE wanted to say
"Release the kraken!!"
I mean c'mon lol, they even made the shiva achievement called
Let it go.
I mean do we really need to go there XD

Yes. Yes we do need to go there.
ps: the Kraken has two attacks called "At Worlds End"and "On Stranger Tides". Also vital additions to the never eding list of shout outs and puns in this came.
