The time has come to get rid of enrage timers

[Vaer]

Half of the games mechanics actually FEEL like missile command to me. As far as SB goes, I've cleared the entirety of Deltascape Savage and half of Sigmascape Savage already (in pugs) and all EX's playing this game 4 hours a week. I wish I had a static for UCoB, because I simply don't want to invest the time to learn it in pugs. I'm also a previous top 20 US WoW raider. I always hated 18-24 minute boss fights in WoW and I will hate them here, especially considering how FF14's encounter design is considerably more punishing than WoWs.

Just because I haven't done UCoB doesn't mean I don't have any insight into what it would be like. I've watched streams, I've read guides, I've analyzed the mechanics, and I've done similar fights in other games. These all afford me some insight, definitely not as much as someone who has cleared, but to say it offers NONE? That's a ridiculous notion. That's why I don't advocate for blanket disregard and instead advocate for targeted rebuttals in order to discredit his POV.

Now that you have some insight into my perspective, hopefully that allows some credibility for discussion on Bob's behalf. Even though HE hasn't cleared/set foot, some of his points have merit and are worth discussing.

Some mechanics sure, but in harder fights you still have to play a job properly in addition to coordinating with 7 other people. Calling it literally missile command is really oversimplifying it. Blanket disregard sort of happens when you start making fun of people and try to defend your viewpoint with silly data (claiming a job is OP using min percentile logs) that makes no sense.

Sorry I still disagree, if I haven't done Ultimate I'm not going to pretend like I'm qualified to talk about the difficulty of it since I'm not IMO and I've cleared most of the content in this game from the beginning. That's just me though. My ego ain't that big.
