People who use addons are so apparent...

I've run into those people in P8S sometimes.

They call out the version of the mechanics that are happening before the boss even visibly telegraphs them as things like Natural Alignment/Twist Nature's variants have different spell IDs that add-ons can distinguish.

I'd assume the TC is talking about the new trial because he similarly has mechanics that have multiple potential variations, but the same name.

The patterns for Purgation have already been figured out in videos, like this one. Think only one of these have one variation she didn't cover. So, if someone searched up the trial guides, they might have come across stuff like this.

I'm aware Purgation has a logic to its patterns.

I'm more thinking about his other mechanics like the random enumerations/stacks/spreads during the rotating AoEs, and the spinner AoE and spread/stacks during his cloak phase as those are the things add-ons can give you several seconds advance warning of.

There' a difference between positioning/calling out for a mechanic the instant its telegraph goes out vs. before it even appears. One of the chief offenders back in the early era were the Hawk Blaster variants in A11S as the visual telegraph only appears halfway through its longish cast time, but add-on users would know the instant it starts.
