    Every TWO mechanics failed equals death. You're basically allowed to screw up once. IMO it shouldn't be a thing except for the boss at the end, and Savage. Makes it really hard to learn anything as is.

    Doom is 2 screw ups. Problem is many of he attacks are instant kills on non tanks.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    That's why you use Essence of the Beast or the new one that drops from there that gives health and a damage boost. I plan on picking up a few before I go back in myself.
