Yup, Another Thread: I Hate Addons and SE Needs To Ban Players Who Use Them!

I mean... I sort of get the general message and title of the thread. A crackdown on the mods does need to be done. However, this story is missing information and doesn't really give us enough information. It's possible depending on the fight that you can know where all the safe spots are beforehand.

I promise you that the raid in question had mechanics that in no way could another player possibly know precisely where to move beforehand. If you are familiar with all FF14 raids and their mechanics, you can easily deliberate the possibilities. And I don't give further context and I use a alt toon on these forums for a reason. Believe me or not, it is your perogative.

No offense but this makes it even more sus.

Why can't you tell us the name of the raid?

That is by design.

As someone who (as ps player) used to raid savage with someone whose addon-bot-mod-whatever calls we all could hear blasting through his headset second before anything we could react to appeared... I don't know, my dudes, I'm occam's razor kind of gal, and though both explanations are simple:
1) the tank in op's story had some very good luck and dodged everything flawlessly 5 seconds earlier than any reaction demanding signs appeared
2) the tank in op's story had a little help, with tool which is very common and easily available - despite being in gray area
-- I know which seems more plausible to me, but I think I'm gonna keep that to myself.

Yeah, you conveniently missed the part where later in this thread the OP finally caved and told people the mechanic that roused their suspicions and people gave them multiple signs(including an obvious cast bar) that would explain the player in question's movements.

Then op's other tank had the castbars for help and in fact played within their window of opportunity.
Refusing to read the whole thread is convenient, I admit that.

For that mechanic specifically you can move before the castbar if you remember the timeline correctly. Not something I would bother with doing for alliance raids but that's neither here nor there.
