I'll say it again, get the other >>>7<<< players in the party to use it.

Every time I've been in a pug they have asked everyone to focus it, sure they might not listen but that doesn't change the fact that there's no real reason you can't have it up so you can see twister being cast. If that's not a reliable method to see it idk what is. You can also focus it when you're about to pull and just keep it up the whole fight there's not really any doing it in the middle of battle going on.

I hate to interrupt your exchange, but what you said was.

Getting people to do that during the middle of a fight is pointless.

While not pointless, I do realize some people would forget to do it.

However, that's not an excuse as Archulak has pointed out. Before the party steps into the fight, why not take the initiative to say "Hey everyone, don't forget to turn on Focus Target before we start."?

Well you go ahead and rely on players outside a static to do so. I wouldn't especially when I've gone through countless experiences where players don't feel the need to do such things for 1 fight and try and get by without it.

Which again, VoIP is a simplistic solution to something like twisters over all other methods and expectations followed by macros.

Perhaps there's simply a difference with players on the Japanese data centers, but I've cleared Turn 5 in random parties before and after it was available for duty finder without a static. When I cleared it after, it was simply out of boredom. I'm not saying the battles aren't difficult, but it shouldn't be hard for people to press one or two buttons to Focus Target before a fight.

I find that much more "simplistic" than inviting 7 strangers into a voice chat.

I found myself surprised with what players find difficult ever since I started raiding in WoW.

but you struggle to actually explain or define what a fun fight is.

3 types of fun

1. true fun, enjoyable while it’s happening.
2 fun only in retrospect, hateful while it’s happening
3. not fun at all, not even in retrospect. As in, “What the hell was I thinking?" (Think VO2 Max or Anaerobic exercise)
