Turn 6 exploit?

[Hysterior]

Then mobs who move and get los when i play black mage, cancelling my cast, are also cheaters

The devs haven't come out and said anything specific about T6, but I imagine it's going to be the same situation with T2 where the dev team didn't forsee a specific way to handle a mechanic and are just going to leave it alone. Doing the LoS method still requires some specific timing and awareness and it also stuns the person even if they don't get Devoured, so if you screw up you'll still add a stack to the boss which will increase the difficulty of the fight.

LoS isn't even all that much easier than the traditional method, its only advantage is you don't have to communicate or rotate the boss as much. Making it easier to know where he will be facing when devour happens. It doesn't change all that much.

Or take damage from the Briar Patches.

LoS = Line of Sight ?
I guess it's about run through the boss to avoid getting sucked in instead of hiding in vine.
But not sure in which particular moment. Can anyone tell me ?

Stay befor her and run exactly in moment when yellow mark vanish. Sprint helps too.

if LoS method is an exploit as "non originally intended by the devs", then the "run-the-hill" method to get past dives in T5 is an exploit as well (Yoshida said they were surprised to see that at first), and in this case I'm sure that 99.99% of people would have no right to step foot in T6.


Thinking out of the box is great, as long as you don't use hacks.

This has been quite a debate actually.

There's this example I take from 1.0. Back when Garuda fight were released, ppl have discovered an exploit not long after which was dubbed as BLM-burn exploit. Think it only lasted couple of weeks before SE decide to patch it so that the BLM-burn can't be done anymore.

Not sure what's the criteria of allowed exploits are. :?

[Lollie]

Previous fights train you for the up coming ones, since the exact "get out of the way" method described is reused in t9 with more drastic punishment for failure.

[Grotesque]

Our static decided to treat it as not working as intended, therefore we don't use it. But I don't mind or justify groups who use it until SE makes a clear statement.

Reasoning: What else should the briars do apart from saving you from being devoured? Yeah they occupy space and do damage, but srsly? Their only real mechanic purpose is to save you. The Turn 9 argument doesn't count IMO.
