    Fun fact: The bots cheat like hell.

    A year ago I played an alt through Endwalker. Had to do Mothercrystal for the MSQ, and it would just not pop. So I thought "why not" and tried it with Duty Support. I'm notoriously bad at mechanics, so I did it as always by the simple rule "stand where everybody else stands - except when you have a mark above your head, then stand somewhere else".
    I played Ninja, so I made sure to stand next to Estinien. He's melee too, so what could go wrong?
    Big AE happens, Estinien does not move. So I think to myself "must be one of those where you run into the AE cause the room floor rotates you out of it, or whatever". So I stand next to him, AE drops, I nearly die and eat a +damage debuff - Estinien takes 0 damage and no debuff.

    So much for the NPCs being good at mechanics... or helping you to learn a fight. No, they just type IDDQD and call it a day.

    Edit: I lost the last of my 3 or 4 lives when the boss was at 70% HP. Never tried Duty Support for Trials again.
