    Hell, Lakshmi isnt even the stormblood trial people dont want to see. Susano was the one that i hated getting(the level sync is lower so some classes are missing important moves, and i saw way too many groups fail to keep up in the later stages of the fight as he speeds up),
    I actually see groups have way more trouble with Susano's first phase than the second. In the first phase, his tank buster doesn't have a charge bar, and it still hits pretty damn hard. I forget what his phase 1 tank buster is called, but I've seen loads of tanks just get straight up knackered by it, way more often than his phase 2 one.

    You arent wrong. Im just remembering every time i got that trial in roulette. Maybe 40% of the time everything was fine. The runs with issues in the first phase(for me) were less common, but usually solved on the second pull(whether it was a tank or a healer who made the change). The second phase i saw a lot of shaky healers slowly lose it and what seemed like a sure clear not quite get to the finish line... or shaky dps going too slowly so an ok healer eventually lost it(a single competent BLM can only cover for so much). A first phase wipe would be 2-4 minutes, and usually have an obvious sign of what needs to improve. A second phase wipe is usually closer to 6-10 minutes, and the solution is often "just do better this time". I can explain a botched mechanic, but by the time we've done an 8 minute wipe youve seen him use it 5 times already. You probly get what you need to do, the issue is doing it consistently for 10 minutes. But that was my experience.
