    Enrage timers stop people wasting hours on something they just can't beat. Ever hear about the LS in FFXI that spent 20 hours trying to beat a boss? SE got huge backlash for that (even though it was the players' own fault for taking it that far) and they ended up putting a 2 hour(?) timer on that fight.

    FFXIV isnt that difficult, and it'd eventually come down to bosses being slowly wittled down to death, or healers running out of MP (but there are easy ways to restore it) so really, it would just remove any challenge from it if there werent enrages.

    Name one fight in the game that has the amount of HP and the basic invulnerability as absolute virtue (before nerf, considering scaling of damage done between XI and XIV). There is no such thing in this game and no fight would last 20+ hours. I don't find this to be a very good argument, as no boss as such an amount of HP.

    It wasn't AV it was Pandemonium Warden that the group took 18 hours. Guess what square did in response to that. Put enrage timers on him and AV.

    no I soloed a raid boss with my tank and had the Enrage timer go off when there health bar was be low the LV in there name
    so they were not killing me given I lasted that long the timer was the only thing that stopped me.

    so yeah they need to be reworked or at lest disable it with unrestricted parties
    (also that is how i just learned that timer was even in the game lol )

    the guy I was replying to is not quoted ..ah well bed time
