M6s in PF is the most miserable and unfun high end fight in the game

[Hastatus]

The pre-add portion of M6S puts me to sleep. Then I have to wake up for a minute and repeat. Apart from Double Style to a very small degree everything feels so monotonously repetitive as a DPS...I'm sure Tanks and Healers are more engaged. I wish Bridge Phase and Desert Phase would randomly interchange: this should be a requirement when a fight's hardest skill/gear check is mid-fight. I'm planning on reducing the frequency of my attempts. I'll try it once or twice a week to see if new pieces of gear (if I ever win any from M5S) improves things and then go back to doing anything else. I hadn't planned to farm the EX fights this expansion but M6S made me want to go and farm EX4 for a weapon. There's no in game way to measure people's experience in a fight so PF just feels like a lootbox battle: you hope you role seven decent enough players. I was so bored with the first part of M6S that last weekend I decided to go revive random people 250 times in Bozja to get the Guardian Angel achievement and I'm not really a healer. Watching other people die to chocobos is way more fun though. Not sure what I'll try to do this weekend to avoid M6S but I'm sure I'll find something.

M6S has a really powerful savage vibe to it. I mean, it's been a while since a fight demanded every single role to do something specific, if you're a weak tank at positioning, you'll wipe at Yan enraging, if you're a weak healer at resource management, the OT will die, if you're a weak DPS, everything will enrage. It's my favorite fight for a long while.

i didn't specifically mean the enmity list, i meant literally click the monster in front of my character LMAO(if they have all the same name except it's like a-z)

But also OP , pf is where u go when you don't have much expectations, if you feel like most groups aren't up to your par, then you might actually have to form a static and trial people so you don't crash out



I wonder how much of it is because people wanted difficult fights, or that people are using plugins and cheats nowadays?

Trust me on this one. Clicking on the enmity list will save you the frutration of trying to click on the damn target. If you are assigned a specific target for a specific portion of the fight, then clicking it on the Enmity is much better. It's consistent, precise and easy.

The first time I consistently used this was for FRU because there were some mechanics that were telegraphed by some clones and lacked a visible cast bar per se. Never stopped using it since then. Very useful.
