The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

[Zarzak]

The imbalance of jobs is LOL worthy. No serious raiding FC is going to recruit 1 tank instead of 2 for a BC group because of 1 event. Unless they are idiots.

Except for the fact that each and every turn can be done with 1 tank, including T5.

Turn 3 can even be done with no tanks. Haha.

We do T3 with 7 tanks.

Once your geared sure but no new team to BC is going to 1 tank the instance. He is suggesting that FCs are being formed with the idea that they are only recruiting 1 tank because a single event can be done with 1 at the entry level gear.

I really don't see how doing the enrage method means you aren't cut out to do turn 4, since t4 doesn't use any of the same mechanics. It's not like turn 4 has a rot, which as i see it is he only part of t2 that really takes any coordination other than high voltage which isn't a very complex one to begin with, and people are not use to passing it. Turn 4 has its own set of mechanics completely different than 2. Would it be an exploit if you just did turn 1, 3, and 4 every week and never even attempted turn 2? I mean unless you were literally carried through the whole end game, t4 shouldn't pose too much a problem skill wise, its not a very complex fight.

Few days ago I heard someone asking for a WHM to join their 3-heal T2 enrage run. Since they've been waiting forever, I asked, out of curiosity, "what are you gonna do with your 3-heal party after you beat T2?"

"Make one of the healers leave."

Oh. Right. I see. Is there any BC-ready WHM willing to join that knowing they could get dumped after that, leaving them to find a T3-5 party again on their own?

I'm sure its not that hard especially depending on what day of the week it is. By saturday or sunday night it's probably extremely likely a whm would do it. Some players only play 2-3 days a week and take what they can get.

You can do the enrage strat with two healers. Then you bring a fifth DPS instead!

[Ashira]

Too many people assuming we all only play one Job. You could go healer for Turn 2 then something else for 3-4.

You don't even need a geared healer to help out with the enrage tactic; three so-so healers, two geared healers or a single i90 WHM is enough.
