Do you guys like the Instadeath mechanic?

Okay besides Titan and Demon Wall, give me a list of instant deaths.

Only one that comes to mind is twister from Twintania but even then it's not a hard move to dodge. Oh and Odin too I suppose.

Ifrit hard mode can be added to that list.

You can add all the primals, hard or normal, but they're hard enrages. If you can't beat the enrage you weren't going to kill it.

To the above guy, hydra and chimera do not have insta-death mechanics. Chimera does unavoidable, high AoE damage when Ram is empowered, enough to one shot a lot of people (but it is not an insta-death mechanic). I don't know what could possibly be considered insta-death on hydra unless you stood infront of him when you shouldn't, or got feared into a fire circle, but even then that isn't insta-death.

Batraal
Hydra
Chimera
Gogimera
Bees in SToQ

I'm sure there are more. I'm not sure if the abilities are technically instant death moves, but it seems like a lot of people are being one shot by them. The Hydra fight were I got one shotted out of the red killed me and monk in one shot.

Careful with the term insta-death, tanks can survive the bees as well as everything Chimera and Hydra through out so it's not insta-death by definition.

Batrall, Hydra, Chimera, Gogimera and the bees are not a one hit death. They're a high dmg hit, get more HP, you'll be fine. Better yet, learn the mechanics of the fight and don't get hit by it. Well, the bees are hard to avoid I'll admit if not killed fast enough..

Get more HP as in, "Go do Chimera with level 90 gear and survive a Ram's Voice that slipped through".

Now that I think about it... it's funny how the Cutter's Cry Chimera is better designed than Dhorme. On CC everyone's forced to move accordingly. On Coerthas, you hope the Bard/Monk/Paladin don't screw up, besides that, stand still until the red circle appears on your feet...

Full Darklight is enough to survive most aoes.

Hmm.. well if we're taking instances of lag out of the equation...

Batraal: Can be sidestepped / avoided without much difficulty.

Hydra: I'm assuming you're talking about Triumvirate here so... this move is a frontal swipe and should only be hitting the tanks anyway (but it can be sidestepped as well) but as a DPS you should really never be hit by this unless you're attempting to have a staring contest with Hydra each fight.

Oh should probably mention that it also splits damage so.. the more people eating it at once = the less it hits for overall anyway.

Chimera: I'm guessing you're referring to The Ram's Voice, in most cases it's generally assumed this move is going to be silenced so chances are it wont go off anyway.

Gogimera: Hmm.. referring to Voice of the Dragon? this is avoidable based on range.

Bees: Well.. ask Nicolas Cage, if his career can survive them so can you.

jokes aside most if not all of these moves are preventable / dodge-able and even so with gear almost all of them are survivable should the first two fail.

Last night I did the Sunken Temple of Quarn for the first time, and the party couldn't get past Teratotaur because of its Doom attack. The tank and one of the DDs either couldn't get out of the AoE, or couldn't find the square to remove it, and kept getting, well, doomed.
