Leviathan's Wipe at 20%?

[UBERHAXED]

That is the exact opposite of what I said. I explained myself further in post #17. What makes Ifrit's nails exploding and killing people a good mechanic, is that it is a visible mechanic with a clear goal and consequences. I would also point out that it pretty much identical to Leviathan X spumes, which in the quoted post I gave as an example of a good DPS control mechanic. Leviathan wiping a group at 20% is more akin to Ifrit jumping early on the last set of nails than to killing the nails.

Specific mechanics that can be seen and accounted for are good, sudden wipes with no warning are bad.

I'm pretty sure that you suddenly wipe everything you die to a mechanic you haven't seen before (because it's a new fight). Once (or if, since you may not be that good of a player) you figure out what wiped you, then you deal with the mechanic just like every other mechanic in the game. I suppose you are going to say that twisters are unfair now?
