Skipping phases

[Sasoriza]

Okay so it is possible to DPS a mob and skip all phaeses (depending on how much DPS you do to it) Sounds good, basicly you end up out classing the person, I understand the point of mechanics and some of them are great but some of them are HORRIBLE (Brayflox anyone) lol. I think i still have to do that on hard though haha.

Phase skipping can have negative affect as well, (e.g. SCOB T2, Ramuh EX) where some mechanics correspond with another, but gets skipped because of the dps. You will find your party wanting to stop dps until the second part occurs.

You won't ever skip every phase, because the difference in phases tends to be incredibly large amounts of HP. But skipping can do a lot of neat little things. Levi EX, for example, can be pushed hard enough to not do the majority of his dives. Some are mandatory (the ones after adds, and the ones that trigger the converter/Tidal Wave sequence) but a lot of other dives are just filler that can be removed from the fight with good DPS.
