I want a Twisters-style mechanic in the 4.3 24man

[TaiyoShikasu]

The difference is recovery (and these fights don't have enrages). Being able to revive someone is much better than being down a person for the remainder of the fight. A wipe is almost guaranteed if it's the healers and/or tanks who are banished from the arena until reset/clear.

I'll give you healer, but for tanks it'd only be an issue if it's the one tank that's actually tanking and not just DPS with a short queue time.

[Nestama]

Good point (aren't queue times for tanks longer when it comes to 24-mans?), though if we got another fight like Ozma, then permanent stage death would be an issue (since Ozma attacks every tank).

[Wintersandman]

I don't think they were being serious...

I am actually serious. Could make the boss have less HP, so it is a reward to have everyone up. Half the party dies then it takes you the normal amount of time.

I prefer tether-style mechanics personally. Perhaps tether to other alliance members. Or rot/virus-passing mechanics that involve the whole alliance. The chaos on the first day would be entertaining to watch and to be a part of

Rot-style mechanic would make an alliance raid unclearable unless it could be cheesed like Allagan Rot.

They could simplify the rot-style mechanic to something like pass the rot to any tank/healer/dps in another alliance. Maybe something like: if a dps gets the first rot, pass it to a tank/healer in another alliance, then pass it to a dps in the third alliance, then to a tank/healer in the first alliance, and repeat. If a tank/healer gets the first rot, then pass it to a dps in the second alliance, then to a tank/healer in the third alliance, etc. Doesn't seem too complicated, but still keeps it somewhat engaging.

Only if the Twister are like the original Twintania at first.

Just separate the parties.

Why dont we do like A12?

So you mean the only part of the encounter that actually works, or the only part that everybody is convinced is bugged and inevitably nerfed needlessly?

[HyoMinPark]

Gosh, why? How about they come up with something a little more challenging than seeing how many people can glue their eyes to a focus target and do a U turn?

Gimmick mechanics have to go.

You're assuming people know how to do the Twister mechanic in Duty Finder. Most the time they cannot even manage Extreme Edge in Hashmal or Mortal Gaze in Angry Mango. O.o

The one that happen randomly after divebombs without any cast time.
