He's my favorite encounter in the game. Even though we have him "on farm" it's still a blast every time and still challenging without being overbearing. Heck even running FC-mates who are new to him is fun, even if it means we die a lot. It's just a really good fight, with awesome music to boot.

Once everyone in the group knows the fight it becomes a lot more manageable. It's dealing with pugs where people just can't dodge or don't know the mechanics that causes people most of their grief with this fight, I think. Or the "lag", but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with that.
