    Just so I have an understanding(and everyone else as well), I been reading through this topic and I think there are only a few main topics that everyone keeps hitting on.

    1.) With Titan-Egi used for the fight, it excludes the need for tanks(which from what I gathered even with T2 enrage, you still needed/wanted one tank at most).

    2.) It ignores many of the mechanics of the fight.

    3.) Some people consider it an exploit while others call it creative thinking.

    I haven't done Ramuh EX yet(since my static group is now working on T6) but I have done the enrage method in T2, so I will try and chime in what I think about it.

    Personally, I am on the side that it needs to be fixed. Does it make the fight easier? Sure. Do you ignore mechanics of the fight? Maybe. Is it more fun? Maybe....but I think what everyone is arguing on is the whole 'You are getting rid of two classes from the fight'.

    I have tanked since WoW and since than, I have not had as much fun in MMO's unless I am tanking. I level up DPS classes only cause I am something of a completion person but I always found DPS to be boring. Could I heal? Sure, but that isn't as fun as tanking to me. The fact that as a tank I am being told(ahead of time) I cannot join cause they don't need tanks is very disheartening. I love FF reborn and a lot of the raids/primals, so it makes no sense that I have to play a role that I dislike just to experience the content.

    It does not ignore many. It only ignores ONE mechanic. The mechanic of having tanks swap while they grab orbs to avoid being 1 shot by Ramuh.
    This is the ONLY mechanic it ignores.

    You still have to:
    1. Free people from the charm
    2. Make sure you don't overlap lightning circles with the ground AOEs or other people
    3. Make sure everyone grabs lightning orbs so his AOE doesn't 1 shot everyone
    4. Make sure people grab orbs to break tether
    5. Make sure while doing 1, 2 and 3 people also kill all the ads before he enrages.
    6. Make sure you don't get 1 shot by Ramuh's AOE while grabbing an orb that's near titan-egi
    7. Make sure if you're melee you don't get 1 shot by the water shock AOE while killing ads.

    So no this is not an exploit and it doesn't ignore many mechanics.
    Before everyone go crying exploit, please take a random party finder group and attempt to clear it without any voice programs and solely relying on the competence of your party members to do all the other 7 mechanics competently.
