So why is brayflox "hard" actually easier than normal?

[Chasely]

Actually, fi you have a sniper on you, run to the tank. The sniper will change targets.

So ass far as difficulty goes both are simplistic in design so difficulty will be subjective due to personal experience with the encounters.

Agreed, so we can agree to disagree there? It is subjective. It's also subjective what you are calling mechanics and not. A mechanic is something that effects the outcome of the fight. A sort of "device" that must be dealt with.

Saying something like "Gotta burn the big bomb", I would disagree with as a mechanic. Would someone just ignore the bomb? You could I suppose, but there is no reason to. It's flashing and big and right in the middle and obvious. I think it's more of a challenge to *not* kill it than to kill it. I would personally consider something a mechanic as special event in a encounter that requires a decision of some kind.

Never heard of a burn phase? It is a mechanic. Just as much as the bubble you had trouble with in brayflox normal.

If you can deal with chaotic ( Yes I am looking at you first boss w/ your orange lines EVERYWHERE!) then yes it's so called "easy" well at least to me even though I get threw it without any deaths, the fact that the dungeon keeps me on my toes I consider that hard, if I were to slack off and not concentrate I would die.

Avoiding a couples of orange lines.

our best geared person was our tank in a mix of 6 darklight some crafted i49 accessories and af using ifrit sword and that i55 shield can remember the name think he was like i63 (yes I asked everyones iLv. in the party because it was comical we all were not very well geared)?

Its the illuminati. They don't conform to your standards of hard mode.

Couple? I think couple is a bit low mate.

yeah but really if you stand in 1 spot you will at most take 2k damage 1 divine seal cure 3 you are full again now if you run around nad eat 3-4 bombs THEN you have issues but just eatting 2 lines since 2 lines is the most 1 spot will ever see in 1 bomb phase (1 vertical 1 horizontal) the easiest way to stay alive is to simply.... not move out of the way(and if you are all stacked behind the tank the snipers will gneerally auto target him anyway so that mechanic can be ignored and 3 snipers on a tank isnt that hard to heal)

Right, but this is also not meant to be "over the top" hard either. For skilled players it easy will not deny that, for the average skilled player it's kinda hard, for the not so talented ( mean no offense) this can be difficult for them. No matter what content someone is playing, it all boils down to the skill of the player.

- If you have a bad tank and a bad healer, you won't make it through the dungeon.
- If you have a bad healer but everyone else is great, the tank may die, if a DD get's hit from bombs it may result in a wipe.
- If DPS check isn't there, but your healer/Tank is awesome you may beat it, but it will take a lot longer.

Like I always said before, some content will be easier for others.

What is harder, that or Titan Exe?

Are you seriously pulling that card? Of course Titan EX is harder, heck all the primals are harder than Brayflox HM, that doesn't mean Brayflox HM isn't hard in it's own right. Sometimes Brayflox HM can wipe a party I am in because of 1 or 2 bad players.
