Does Leviathan Cheat?

Don't think this is the same case as ifrit ex, my group had push our dps that Levi skip some of the dive phases, pretty much never dive while spawning the 2 adds, follow by the caster then the spumes. The worst thing that I have seen happen when pushing dps is having caster add spawn when Levi still diving, or Levi diving and spawning spumes at the same time, this causes some confusion to some people and they die since they wasn't expecting it.

The only time we died to shield is always when pressing too late.

Pretty much the same as here. If Ifrit hits a certain % while the final nails are still up he will just wipe the party with a nails still up Hellfire. I'm assuming it's there to make sure you don't just ignore the last nail phase and just burn Ifrit down.

Can't stop DoTs already on Ifrit from ticking though so sometimes accidents happen when the DoTs push him below the threshold.

That's interesting.

Just to add on of cases - last night's T7 we had a weird occurrence. We know Curse Shriek comes after every 2 Cursed Voice. There was once Shriek was supposed to come, and the MT calls it. I was the BRD and thus was watching other things and then my muscle memory and instinct told me Shirek should be done by now and I asked the team why Renauld is still up? Can I kill it?

MT yells NO NO NO DON'T SHRIEK IS NOT UP! - I was like WAT?! Then immediately another Cursed Voice came which was the 3rd Cursed Voice in a row. After the healer re-petrified the same Renauld I was talking about, another Renauld spawned on the direct opposite end.. guess what.. I got the Shriek and we were like oh f**k lol.

We wiped because we didn't expect this and I couldn't pull the new Renauld because I have to move into position to Shriek and the team was stumped at this occurrence and no one pulls the new Renauld and it killed people. Anyways I think even if someone pulls, he will still die because he can't manuveur out due to impending Shriek.

One hell of a mess, which we believe it was due to hitting too hard on Melsuine and forcing her to skip certain stuff.

This game has quite some silly mechanics that punishes you for either under DPS or over DPS...
