    Does anyone else get disappointed when a fight is easier than expected?

    It happened to me with Titan HM and now Garuda EX. I keep on hearing these horror stories about latency issues making Titan HM dodging difficult and wicked wheel making Garuda EX impossible for melees. Yet both of these fights ended up being much easier than I thought.

    Perhaps it's because I end up over-gearing for these encounters after hearing how difficult they are. It still disappoints me. >:

    Fights in this game are quite easy to be honest. If someone can't dodge Wicked Wheel then they need to improve.

    I'd say Turn 4, but I actually think Turn 4 is the funnest thing in the game. Easy - but fun!

    Edit: Oh, I've got one. Pharos Sirius. One shot it the day it came out, heard before that it was super hard, then continued to hear after that it was super hard. Dunno what dungeon everyone else was doing, but PS was pretty easy. Find out a boss can be stunned + long cast bar that causes a huge problem = stun it.

    Yeah, all I heard was how hard this dungeon was. It's really not.

    It's because people are all such speshul snowflakes and can't be bothered to pay attention to mechanics, thus making it a hell of a lot harder than it really is, you can easily take a party at the min ilevel and beat it.

    Hi. All fights in this game are easy because I am good. Because things are easy for me, everyone else sucks and the game is easy in general. I don't care that 80% of the people that play content find it so hard they have to pay for wins. They should all be more like me. If you can't be more like me you should die because you are inferior and have no right to play this game.

    Titan isn't hard anymore because most of the population has gotten used to the fight. Learning it completely fresh as a FC group took a while as people had to get better at self-awareness and dodging immediately instead of trying to finish whatever they were casting. Even if you are new to the fight typically most of the party will have done it already and are using relics so you pass the DPS check by a mile.

    Also the latency is a lot lower in primal battles now so there is that.

    In my case, I found Titan HM to be hard at first because I couldn't switch from moving and healing fast enough.

    Turns out, I simply had to rearrange the 4 skills I used in Titan HM on my macro bar for faster access.
    Then it became a piece of cake. I didn't even had to try to remember the rotation of Titan.

    It took me a dozen of trials with different configurations to find out what I was doing wrong.

    I think the learning curve of the fight is ok for the majority of players though.

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.
    (Marvelous economics IQ test!)
