Turn 4 is a moot point, but this quote is exactly the problem! See GEAR SHOULD HELP, that's the problem, it doesn't - it barely even matters! Most of the most frustrating fights are won and lost because someone else made a mistake and the unforgiving mechanics wiped the party. So right now, as long as you have basic gear, gear is not even a factor, let alone a secondary factor. The OP is complaining that this game is 90% mechanics, 10% gear, when really it should be 60/40 or maybe 70/30 at higher levels/end-game top-tier raids etc.

Gear does matter, if you don't think so you're not playing the same game as me. Whole mechanics can be completely skipped by having better gear. So no it isn't 90% mechanics, it's way lower. And the more reliant it is on mechanics over gear- the better.

So turn 4:

Please don't use quotation marks if you are not going to quote me, what i had written before i edited it was that the game already has enough easy fights as is, and what i wanted to say(and therefore edited to avoid this crap) is what it says now - that we don't need any fight to get easier.

Also you need to read better, i didn't say that the fight is always the same i said that ofc knowing your role helps as it does in every single fight in the game..
As for the scenario you painted here it is reversed:
The OT in Titan EX doesn't manage to grab aggro, it goes for the blm he uses manawall. Yay crisis averted.

In T4, someone messes up and brings the bugs that are stuck on him to 2 dreadnoughts(not at the same time, doesn't matter who lets assume stupid OT) feeding them, the poor main tank gets to tank a 4 stack dread and a 2 stack one, he doesnt manage to, no one else is able to do anything but watch helplessly. OMG such unforgiveness needs to be less punishing and moar random please.(this example is a joke of course but this is how some people in this thread sound to me)

Other notes:
1. You can carry 1-2 people through titan EX(same for garuda, leviathan,t1-t5) at the moment, and its not even that hard to do it.
2. Having content that you can carry people through at its release is not something that we really need. If you can carry 2 through an encounter and you're not totally over gearing it, it means that those 2 are not needed, and that the tuning is not right.
