Everybody Hates Ramuh (and why the fight needs reworking)

● ITS VERY HARD TO SEE. Maybe this is part of the mechanic, I don't know, but I thought we took a great step forward by making ground AOEs a lot easier to see. Now with Ramuh, the blue lightning circles on the ground & around players are very difficult to see. On top of that, the purple lightning sparks between the ads are so thin and quick, its hard to tell where you should go to dodge! It's similar to ultima weapon, but it was very easy to see the lasers in Ultima HM. In Ramuh ex, I try to move around in hopes I don't end up in the midst of a 3 way ad lightning crossover.

You need to upgrade your skills and raid awareness then. The add's thunderbolt aren't that tough to see, including thunderstorm's circle AoE. When we cleared Ramuh, we didn't understand every mechanic - we didn't really understood how charm chooses its target, we suspected it is distance related but we weren't 100% sure. It was still early patch when we just managed to unlock Ramuh EX after the patch rush. But we still deal with the fight and cleared it.

It is a hint that more of such fights are to come. SV Hard is also one of them, where you have to open your eyes and stop relying on obvious, big fat ground AoE indicator to tell you what you should do.

EDIT: QFT for the below

And stop making excuses first you're saying ALL nay sayers have high allagan and/or t9. Now you're whining that melee dps have it hard! So ridiculous...even if you have half a brain you'd know that the thunder shock around the outer field ONLY happens after the thunder strike I mean seeing those huge thunder circles should give warnings in your head to get out of the water quickly. Still people need to get better. It's an easy fight. Oh and the purple line thing is easy to avoid too it was fun to be honest it reminded me of ultima and sunken temple's last boss.

Can you address the part where I stated that a 1000dps check is possible with all dps in i90? Thanks also maybe stop making excuses for bad DPS.

Not just possible, but really easy. Benchmark DPS for all jobs in i90 is at least 300. Someone last night claimed that 3dps is impossible and I laughed as we carried yet another client with only 3 DPS.
