Turn 2 "easy mode", disables every mechanic in the fight

[Noroi_Kisaragi]

So apparantly as my static discovered this morning, ADS' "rage mode" is an absolute joke. It's not punishing at all, and it disables every other mechanic in the fight.

So you walk into the fight and pull at 1 click remaining. If the clicks run out before allagan rot appears, this happens...

With 3 healers, 1 tank, and the rest DPS, the fight is cake. You don't need to dodge, you don't need to silence, you don't need to take or pass rot, you don't need to worry about tank stacks or tanking period, you don't even need to move. Just deal damage and heal. That's it. If your DPS and heals are on point you should win with no difficulty. You DO need geared dps/heals for this. So don't expect to win with just regular relic or anything like that.

This video was from the healer's perspective (big shoutout to Koeta for recording, my capture card died mid-record) . However, I do not feel that this is an exploit. I would call it a clever use of game mechanics, but if Square Enix intended the clicks running out to be game over, it would have just nuked the party and be an instant kill. This would the equivalent of a titan rage mode where he does nothing but stomp. So I wouldn't quickly call it an "exploit".

However, I would have to ask the forums. Would you consider this an exploit or not? What are your thoughts on this method and its utility?

Not an exploide since you are not using Mechanics to your advantage. Just the fastes and easiest way to kill.

Since when using mechanics to your advantage was an exploit if I might ask.

[Defmetal]

It's not even a glitch. I actually like the strategy because it allows for more melee to participate and it makes for less stressful PUGs on my alt.

If your group is able to go 1/1 then it isn't faster. I'd assume the majority of statics are at a 1/1 rate on T1-3 at least by now.

Enrages that don't do increased damage or instant wipes is just a silly thing in general exploit or not.

[Aerostein]

As far as I'm concerned, working as intended.

You can sit there and wait, and then do it "easy mode", or

wait for it...

Just uh, you know. Kill it normally? It's not a hard fight.
