"Yo the guy got an ultimate title, they clearly know every single mechanic of every single instance the game has to offer!".

I figure a legend title means someone knows one specific fight fairly well, and knows at least one job well enough to perform acceptably in that fight. It does not mean they know every fight in the game. It does not mean they know every job in the game. I mean, I have Legend friends who are quite good on their chosen DPS jobs and who I enjoyed watching as they streamed their prog, but who I would not trust to heal even alliance raids, much less savage.

Admittedly, I do tend to expect that someone with a legend title will at least understand the basics that are common across everything in the game -- keep the GCD rolling, keep your DoT ticking, how the majority of the basic building blocks of mechanics this game uses work -- but even then, they're only human and could have an off day.

(Though that will not stop me from giving my friends shit in voice chat on those off days, when they do something really dumb and eat a mechanic they absolutely know better than to eat. "Ultimate Legend, by the way.")

Lb2 right when i stopped moving for mechanic.

This happened twice (in different parties) in P6S PF for me this weekend: each time, someone assassinated half of the party during Exchange of Agonies by dropping a donut halfway between the wall and center, thus taking out the entire center group (e.g. all the other DPS) and one healer out at the edge (invariably me, because apparently the southeast corner spot is cursed) as well as dying themselves. The one surviving healer waited until the LB3 was filled... and anxiously hit LB the instant before it did, thus setting off healer LB2 instead.
