SE, Please stop forcing people/DPS to take debuffs that disables actions

Mechanics that stun/trap you that are not meant to be dodged should freeze your buff timers. If you get locked in the gaol during Susano then all your buffs freeze and start counting down again once you're free. Simple fix.

Because otherwise you lose your buffs and you have no control over it despite doing your rotation correctly. DO NOT punish the player for unavoidable mechanics.

You don't have to stop moving for the whole duration. When it gets to 3 and below is when you have to drop everything.

the entire point of mechanics is to punish players for not dealing with them properly.

Did anyone else read the thread title and thought the OP insinuated that DPS aren't people?

Is that not true?

I tell that to the DPS in my raid team all the time.

What made creator a fun tier is the complete absence of these things

Extreme Caution
Photon/Fire Floor
Temporal Stasis

3 of of the 4 fights in Creator had mechanics that forced dps to stop attacking.

Wasn't temporal stasis the one that froze time on everything with the party while Alex kept on attacking himself?

Yeah, it also froze buff timers etc so it's definitely doable

But you can't absolutely predict who will be gaol'd.

I think the idea that being gaol'd freezes timers is a reasonable request since not every player is punished on equal levels for what appears to be RNG. (I do think it's decided by numbers, but since parsers are against ToS, I can't confirm it.)

Another instance of these timers playing unfair is in transition's between zones. Run through the portal to kill the add in there. Depending on how fast you load into the zone, you can lose stacks/procs/buffs.

That's not fair.

There was still the issue of buff timers continuing during the loading screen for the portals.

You mean they are actual people diying on purpose because they stay on AoEs ? oO
Always thought Dps were just NPCs
