Ex. Garuda- spiny plume fixing

[Ri_ri]

I honestly think a lot of the fights they have designed lately are simply an excuse to justify their 4/8 man party system of 2 tank 2 heal 4 dps. Sure, a lot of these mechanics can be worked around with the right gear + skill combination, but I personally thing it is bad game design and will lead to make all job very basic. They already don't have enough party slots to even make bard, bard. No, instead it is some "hybrid' trash that Yoshi-P and his team dreamed up. I'll get some eye rolls for he comparison, but in XI and I liked ranger and I liked bard, but I don't like them combined at all. Back on topic, yeah, mechanics designed to fit the party system is the reason.

Even if the spiny didn't exist you'd need two tanks anyway for separating Suparna and Chirada.

The spiny should've been a caster mechanic. All they do is their rotation and get out of Friction... way too easy compared to the pressure that is tanking there (one mistake = wipe) and even melee who have to get out of Wicked Wheel.

Not entirely, like speed run Garuda. To pull you'd get one of your strongest DPS take it and have all DPS move with them and then zerg the heck out of it, it would go down so fast that it makes the secondary tank not very important. It would be a lot riskier with no true enmity hold but its possible.

With what the other guy said, both Garuda and Titan only need 1 healer, so there are ways out of the 2/2/4
