    I Really Really Really HATE that spinning finger mechanic. It is a pita to try and reach that small stupid circle to dodge the instant death mechanic on the last boss. Only thing I seriously cant control and get right as it is pure RNG. Other than that i think everything is great in the new 24 man.

    BTW i dont even try on that finger thing anymore i just stand and die and hope to get rezzed because it is just that stupid imo.

    It's not pure RNG, though it can be tough to time.

    the spinning finger is timing not rng. there is a long build up before the aoe goes off. the trick is to not panic there XP It's hard to get the right direction with the controller but its totally doable. just slightly frustrating. I do personally like it though.

    I actually find it easy to do with the controller. Start going in one direction, if it's wrong, stop right away and try again. Takes me usually just two times of moving to get to the safe spot(both going towards, just first one is not directly at).

    The flashing of the mask is fun to watch people panic with. I waited until after the raid(partially because I'm on PS4, and even though I have a keyboard hooked up, it drops my DPS massively if I need to switch my hands from controller to the keyboard; and because the people I was running with wanted to blind fight it) to explain it to those that wanted to know.

    Well in fairness, unless you're in Group B and take the underwater path littered with the readable passages, there really isn't anything interesting.

    Misdirection is easy. As long as you don't panic, it should only take a second or two to get yourself moving in the direction you want to go.

    I found it irritating the first few times I experienced it, but now it's one of my favorite mechanics and I move around perfectly fine with it.

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    PPl are free to have their opinions, but the point is that was more involved than what we had so far in 24 man dungeons, true they could've added pages in all 3 passages but I think the eye wants it's piece and imho they nailed it there

    The trick to the spinny mechanic is to just keep tapping the directional button until you get to the direction you need to go, and keep moving in that one direction from there. Eventually you'll angle yourself in the right direction. It's not random at all, each adjustment if done quickly enough will shift you slightly clockwise with each attempt. It's only if you take entire seconds between each attempt that it feels random. You also just need to get close to the circle, the debuff wears off about 1 whole second before the attack is actually launched, so you can use that second to get in the circle at the last moment.
