Please stop with the "no duplicates" and pigeon-holing our DPS into tiny windows

So, you’re basically saying that Yoshida lied to everyone when he said that they never intended for Byakko Ex to be cheesed a la tank LB3? Because I doubt that. There’s no reason for them to lie about something like that, for one. For another, they tend to get mad when people don’t do the content as they designed for it to be done.

While certainly not a lie per se, it would seem to be a huge oversight for the ability to survive the AoE via LB3 to not have been intended, even if its conventional use wasn't. If 20% of the damage is easily survivable with few vulnerability stacks, why wouldn't LB3 be used in that way? They could have manipulated its suppression curve from Hakutei's %HP. They could have classified it as "true" (nonmitigateable) damage. And yet they did none of those things. It may not have been intended, but it's harder for me to imagine that they honestly thought they hadn't allowed for it to happen than for me to believe that their statement coming off, or being perceived, a bit stronger than... intended. Sure, it wasn't expected that people would do this, but not because it was considered impossible, but simply of too little benefit compared to an offensive use of LB3.
