The example you showed, the most obvious similarity between other BAMS that are 4-legged, they use that same exact charge move that goes into one direction.

Things to an extent are telegraphed, made ina way where it isn't to hard to dodge and to an extent repetitive. I never really saw myself using different strategies when fighting BAMs unless I managed to find a better ability to replace an old one but for the most part, every BAM is pretty much, save the dodge move for when they charge after you and attack accordingly lol.

Now as far as XIV goes and the AOE rings, XI had it to, in essence. Some people did use plugins to help them tell how far a mob was from them in order to dodge weaponskills and the likes, so honestly this ring thing is nothing more than an official/legit version being put into XIV.

Whoop de doo, now how does one make it challenging in the face of glowing UI floors?
