The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

[Daniolaut]

I can't fathom why people want this changed. The fact that this was figured out is fantastic and as long as it is left alone means player ingenuity is celebrated as opposed to being crushed.

Glitches and exploits such as locking a mob from performing actions need to be fixed, but working within mechanics to find alternative solutions needs to be encouraged so that we can escape from the theme park design that is so enforced in modern MMOs.

Multiple solutions is the right way to go.

Youre a DPS... not a healer.. not a tank.

of ~course~ you dont want it changed.

This game needs more players who play DPS classes have a challenge. I played Paladin and White Mage through titan HM and fell asleep at how easy it was when i went and did it for monk. I've cleared Titan, Iffy and Ruda Extreme as PLD.. you think i'm going to have issues when i go back on my monk? Absolutely not.

DPS (under current game design) have to only not ~completely~ suck at dealing DPS and dodge..

Tanks/Healers? Have to be pretty good at what they do, dodge, watch stacks, place unsafe mechanics in safe places, protect other party members, avoid unmarked un-indicated attacks, know when certain attacks are incoming to prepare for them and adjust accordingly, ... need i go on?



Development team please read what we are saying. We are not saying its an exploit. We are saying that we would like content that is not simply memorize it and win. We want either simply content that is difficult or at the very least content that is difficult as well as requires memorization (aka a mix of both difficulty and memorization.)

Turn 2 non enraged mode is a good example of what could be a design bases for difficult content.

Turn 4 is another example.

Please give DPS something to do besides just dodge and not be terrible at dealing DPS. Give them maybe a mechanic so if they get hit they dont take damage (which only makes the content difficult for healers) but something that renders them confused, or immobile or some other mechanic that cannot be esuna/leeches, like being unable to deal DPS at all, causing a wipe.
