Favorite type of mechanics, for trails and raids what do you wana see in Stormblood?

Until we invent a way to reach and strangle your duty-mates through the internet, making things easy visually is a good thing.

I agree with you for df content (like the new EX rouelette dungeons, 24 man raid, etc.) but the whole point of savage is to do something hard with a dedicated group of players. I fail to see how making everything easier and predictable for that content is an improvement.

I want to see more mechanics where pushing too much dps causes a wipe, while also causing a wipe if you don't do enough dps. I like working with dps based enrages. XD

This is the worst! I love it.

It isn't a bad idea when content is current...but when people outgear content and are helping out lesser gear people it becomes a huge problem if pushing too much DPS becomes a wipe. I am reminded of balancing events in EQ1 where you had to keep stuff within X% of each other where X was generally between 3-5, it was fine when it was new but once we outgeared it we spent most of the time waiting around which isn't exactly engaging

The way we could get round that is let's say you need i400 for the raid, have it item sync at 400 too. So you can't outgear it. That'd get round your issue.

Personally, I think that takes a lot of the fun out of it; since before you went blind into it and had to first figure out what everything did and now it's just "go here, stay where you are, this aoe will spread, look away, gather together" because in every single fight it is the same, lowering the difficulty significantly just through that :/

I'll agree with that if the icons and markers are never seen before exclusive ones for that instance but when say a "stack" here icon like in Ravana is reused in the Vault and the player with the icon has to run away from everyone it seems silly. Another example is Concussion in Anti Tower, any healer can get rid of it, the player with the debuff does the same animation as seen in A5? I think it was but in that fight you can't esuna it despite it being the same debuff.

I just want to stop swatting at air or otherwise oversized hitboxes. I'm tired of bosses just feeling like cylindrical punching bags that just periodically damage a target or a target-facing area.
I want them to at least feign some manner of intelligence, and/or have both a hitbox and level of impact befitting its aesthetics.
