The cooldown reset on A8s is unbearable

[Pells]

What scenario is this? All trials have you fighting in a enclosed boss room that if someone aggros the boss, everyone is engaged to the fight. Only a total party wipe would reset it. A1, 2, 3 and 5 doesn't this, but are you honestly saying that they can get one shot'd, return to base, take the short cut, and run back into the boss fight all within 15 seconds (with no mana and TP, mind you). Who is even getting the cooldown reset at this point?

You can't do this in dungeons because shortcuts do not put you in front of the boss arena, only to where the previous boss was.

Not to sound rude, but this is an incredibly silly excuse to play devil's advocate with; it doesn't even make sense within the context of the game.

The primal trials start you in the arena, yes. So does Midas 4. Midas 1-3 start you outside the arena, and it is possible to be locked out so this might work. None of which is why I'm playing devil's advocate. Any change won't be introduced until the next raid tier, and it is not yet known to any of us how those fights will be set up. By the time this matters, nobody is going to care about Midas Savage, or possibly even Ravana and Bismark Extreme. They'll be old hat.

I am not opposed to cooldowns being reset when raiding. I am opposed to it being done in some half-assed manner that would break things or simply be more hassle than it's worth.

... (basically when the boss resets) ...

Such as this, which I addressed, and it has been countered.

Alternativly to prevent this type of exploit, they could remove all benefical abilties on the target as well as reset the cooldowns, which would solve everything that is exploitable about this anyway

And this would probably be the best alternative, in my opinion.
