About Wuk's strength [Ending spoilers]

I'm not really a fan of using Dynamis as a reason for why someone is suddenly unstoppable. I feel it will lead to very lazy writing.

This here, so much this.
I like the introduction of Dynamis but it makes it way to easy to handwave stuff without a proper explanation.

I also have my problems with attributing Wuk's strengh to it alone.
Even for Dynamis there is a limit. The reason we are so good with it is that we are the Warrior of the stupid light, the main character and even then we mostly use it to break our limits like regenerating HP or limit breaks. We don't just do millions of damage.
Other characters are more in line with Thancred against Rajit, were he went beyond his limit.

Wuk Lamat managed to hold back the damn last boss, blocking his attacks, doing more damaged then all eight players combined and inspiring us.
That's not dynamis that's a writer wanting his character in the spotlight yet again.
If we would use Dynamis here to analyse that would mean that she became stronger then the WoL. While i won't say there can't be a person like that (Zenos came close) that's horrible writing.
Even if we use her getting stronger by beating Bagool JaJa and trading blows with Zural Ja that would mean that she has such an awesome growth that she surpassed us.

If the writers wanted to make her stronger then us sure whatever but then they can kiss my sub goodbye because I don't play this game to be reduced to an NPC or not even that, just the camera just so a writer can sleep well with the idea his written character is awesome. At least with this type of character.
If they want to do that then they should learn how to write and get to work.

Rant end. As someone who really cares for the MSQ this scene made me actually close the game.

Especially when that character has no history associated with it whatsoever. Even we didn't tap into dynamis on a whim but were already blessed by Hydaelyn and later aided by Midgardsormr. Meanwhile, Wuk Lamat just shows up and is so incredibly emotional she just takes her anime superpower because once again the story wanted her to.

It's kind of funny when posed with the question "How do we make Wuk Lamat overcome Bakool Ja Ja?" the writers decided to opt for the easiest and most boring solution instead of, I don't know, playing to her pre-established strengths and having her beat her bully with a genius plan.

Oh wait, she has none because she's just a silly cat that likes peace and is good at talking to people...

Eugh, how does a character with an expansion centered around them have no noteworthy strengths?

You feel it will lead? You feel???

It IS the very lazy writing!
