What are some the most BS mechanics in the game?

[Troxbark]

BS mechanics - Mechanics that are only difficult because they are clunky or poorly implemented.


Here's mine: Anything with tethers. That weird and inconsistent delay in swapping tethers or trying to distance them just right. Ex7 meteor tethers are a massive offender of this.

The mechanic itself is very simple, executing it difficult because 1 step forward, your tether is bad, 1 step back your tether is bad, 1 step forward your tether is good. They took the USB port dilemma and decided to make it a mechanic and it's disgusting.

as BLM, moving is overused and should be banned.
I would like to play as statue, everyone just stand where they are and use their abilities.
Every boss spell is tankable with manaward.

Titan Gaols. Thankfully it's only in UWU so I never have to see that piece of shit mechanic anywhere else.

Simon style spur-of-the-moment pattern memorization mechanics. Quite a lot of people have next to no ability to do those without guidance. I can't even begin to count the number of people I watched get eaten by Proto-Carbuncle early in the expansion, and that one wasn't even complex.

Edit: It occurs to me there's probably hardly anyone on these forums that remembers Simon. Rofl.

I 100% encourage any BLM to stand in mechanics so long as it doesn't kill you. Healers can adjust.

Debuff passing. If your game has a tick rate that allows for me and my pass target to run directly through each other without the pass actually taking place, you should not be allowed to use pass mechanics.

Body Count mechanics.

As already said in this thread, debuff/tether passing can be pretty wonky in practice

Chaos rule in Triple Triad can go straight to hell

The one that gives the guy that spent 99% of the fight face down on the floor a roll of 99 for the loot afterwards...
