I'm honesty thinking of just taking leg sweep out of all my melees, it's single target and useless in boss fights..."fully resist". I believe it would be better if it was a cone AOE and to offset reduce stun from 3secs to 2/1.5 secs. this would help in large mob pulls; tanks could pull bigger, healer could get off a heal on tank for recovery during the time, and dps could use another AOE. Maybe just my thoughts but, I had to say it.

Yoshi P doesn't like CC and interrupts on his bosses. It's why I play BLU for the full FF experience.

I wish they integrated CC into raid bosses like blade and soul did.

09-09-2022, 02:43 PMTulzschaWhile I agree can you imagine how much more awful pugging would be if CC was required? The horror...Quote:

If criterion savage needs specific mob kicks, people are going to be in for a rude awakening.

09-10-2022, 05:50 AMRuneslayerIm fairly sure if they did so, it'd not be as strict as bns where you need /7/ people to stun the boss at once or it wont work, sometimes you just dont have the comp that can provide it.Quote:

There was actually a mechanic like that in Levi EX. You had to chain stun and kill a mob before he cast a spell that would hysteria everyone. -

Why does every skill need to have a use on boss fights?
-
09-11-2022, 07:09 AMSazuzakiWhat I personally think: It's cause useless skills are taking up slots for what could be more interesting skills. It's like the Dark Mind situation; I would much rather have an actual interesting CD rather than having Dark Mind rot on my hotbar in encounters that are almost 100% physical damage. Yes I understand most encounters these days have mainly magic damage tank busters, but my point still stands.Quote:

09-11-2022, 01:45 PMRongwayJust so you know, a mob in a gaming context is a single enemy, not a group of enemies. It's a holdover term from the days of MUDs, when enemies and NPCs were "mobiles" or "mobile objects". When referring to a group of mobs, the term is or pack (usually a small linked group) or group (more broadly, several mobs or multiple packs).Quote:

I like leg sweep to stun the mob that's lagging behind the rest of the trash pull. I'll be damned if I'm the last one to show up to the wall.

09-12-2022, 04:04 PMArriusPeople don't even manage to kick/interrupt the Chimeras/Eye adds at first Boss/Xande Clone in WoD and the Chimeras in Rabanaste, so I'd rather not see such a thing in current content given how reliable the players are.Quote:

The skill can be nice.
It stuns enemy for a few seconds. That can be enough to reduce the own dmg for one/two Hits. To go behinde the enemy for a positional finisher.
Or, have the time to interact with something. And, it can help in raids by a few enemy, if the Player know, that this is a Option (never knowed, that you can block the chimera with this). -

Point still stands Leg sweep is useless as it stands, I can just use another OGCD instead in pulls and boss fights, only situation where it is ratably usable is during pull that has larger "MOB" that needs taken down before the rest due to its damage output and I'd still use a damaging OGCD instead. Feint is the only usable CC on some bosses but, is GCD, so either we need usable CC or none at all. Are we just fulling 3 hot bars just to fill them?

I'd like to see bosses have casts that need to be interupted, would make me feel more useful as ranged phys
especially if there's times where the tank can't interupt it too
Stuns could be incorporated with adds that need to be stunned i suppose -
09-19-2022, 06:24 PMSorzaiThat's because people are not used to using stuns/interrupts/slows/blind/etc in fights because they literally have 0 effect, on top of that players have been conditioned to think that these skills have no use because most if not all encounters does no need the use of these abilities, because they can simply tank the incoming ability.Quote:

Same shit applies to Leg Graze and Foot Graze (maybe Head Graze too, as a ranged DPS I wish I could use it more often).

09-19-2022, 11:32 PMJakkuPMthey used to be pretty prevalent in ARR and HW. SB and onward CC is barely used.Quote:
