    I finally did this raid myself today.

    It doesn't help it's my first 24man, I never had time to do the previous ones, but...

    I noticed that a lot of the mechanics were either difficult to see the markers/tells, or they gave you <1 second reaction time/margin of error and everything does 80% of your health in damage and puts vuln on you so that you're guaranteed to die next time you get hit unless you got some shielding on you.

    I was getting hit by a lot of stuff I was like "Um, OK how I was supposed to dodge that again?" I'd be fine one second, and then dead the next when there were no tells, no glow, no ground markers, nothing. Just BOOM. dead. I can only assume it has to do with which way the boss is facing, but with 15+ people standing ontop of it, that was nearly impossible to tell which way it's facing amidst all the chaos.

    I would have to say I don't really get the big "hoo-hah" over 24 man content. It's just a lot of chaos and I didn't find it particularly fun. I think the same thing could have easily be done with 8man content, with the one exception being that big boss in the center with the 3 platforms with one team on each platform.

    Otherwise, just throwing more bodies and vastly inflating health pools to match didn't really make it any more fun than 8 man fights to be honest.
