New? Boss Mechanics - Unsynchronised Muscle

[Ayuhra]

I approve of this.

With Cox Wireless at my back and shoddy nerves in my hand there is zero chance I will ever avoid a mechanic like this. Zero chance.

Honestly I feel like this game needs more dynamic encounters with less focus on perfect execution of rotation and pattern recognition. ("Then what would the focus be?" Awareness!) It seems like so much comes down to dodge orange circle to not die. I know this may seem like a weird complaint because of COURSE bosses have AoEs.

But....it's a complaint of mine idk

And this doesn't require awareness?
Also.. it is almost the same as normal AoE dodging, just before moving you have to say to yourself, I need to move to right, so I have to push left.

Hmm another mechanic I would also recommend would be Juggle. During this boss mechanic, in a savage turn of course, another player controls your character. In other word, if I were tanking, and the boss cast Juggle, I would be randomly assign to use a team member's healer/dps and someone else would be using my tank ( all 8 people are switch to another player's character class for a temporary time). This mechanic sounds like it would need a LOT of development though, I don't know how easy can SE make this happen. It would also give static a challenge, because what static doesn't love challenges.

Not sure if it is implementable but I actually like your idea.
Again.. sounds like something new that we haven't seen yet.

lol you know what we also haven't seen lol? and this is one basically like a duh one. is a mechanic where we need to jump in order to avoid it. So think of it like an electric floor and you see the electricity ray coming, you need to jump in order to avoid it.

But how would it assign keys? Especially for kb vs gamepad players?

I tried to play a friend's account once.. even though both of us are gamepad users, and it was on a job I also had leveled.. it was near impossible to even do the basic rotation. His entire playstyle was different.. was kind of fun, but I imagine would be an instant wipe in a battle, unless you coordinated similar button layouts / practiced.
