My point is.. burning at the right time or "too hard" can never be an exploit...
Anyone who says "Skipping phases" is an exploit is being silly

You're right... it is "designed" for level 50s... your point is that it doesn't matter at that point, hence it wouldn't be an exploit for a level 99 group to one shot it

well right now it is "designed" so that Aerial Blast is not triggered by HP. It was an unexpected design flaw, to say the least
But the point is.... it's no different

And technically it is is "designed" for a party 45+, which includes level 99, once there is one

BLM is not an exploit... it takes the fun out of the fight, yes, but not really an exploit
Rydin...im sorry but you are starting to be ridiculous. I'm starting to think you have no idea what an "exploit" even is, nor what it even means. Its either that, or you are in such denial that you are ceasing to make sense and comprehend facts. First of all, abusing an unintended design flaw is the definition of an exploit. This means that a BLM burn strategy is an exploit, because it abuses a mechanic that is not supposed to be there. There's just no getting around it, and no rationalization. Yoshi came out and said that it is a bug, and the hp check is not working like it should. Strategically taking advantage of this is what we would call "exploiting". If there was a bug that allowed you to run through walls to the end of the dungeon, and players took advantage of this, wouldnt it be an exploit? You wouldn't disagree, it is most definitely an exploit. BLM burn is no different. There's a bug that allows you to skip aerial blast, BLM tries to take advantage of that. Exploit is an exploit is an exploit.

Sorry for the dose of reality but it is what it is, confirmed by the lead designer himself. How are you even still trying to convince yourself its not an exploit at all?

A lvl 99 pwning a lvl 50 is a mechanic that is *supposed* to be there, so them one-shotting the bosses is not an exploit..obviously. Thats just a stupid example lol.
