    There is no precedence anywhere else in the game that Twintania would use a move like Fireballs either.
    Or that Caduceus would eat slimes to remove damage stacks.
    Or that Titan would place people in Gaols.
    Or that ADS would do Rot
    Or that mechanic you fought for the first time would actually be a mechanic.
    The first time you encounter a new mechanic, you will always be thrown off guard, this is the nature of mechanics. By complaining about SE introducing new mechanics you may as well ask them to stop making new ones.
    The fact is, there was enough information in the first two phases to let you know that something like Divebombs may occur.

Third time he'd have a chance at dodging it.
    This entire paragraph... What.
    I just don't even. The way you're posting and arguing is as if you think every encounter should be defeatable by a group of players all going through blind.
    You are supposed to die and figure out mechanics, that is the entire point of raiding. You need to learn, you need to practice, you need to figure out how to deal with the mechanics.
    If it were possible to instantly pass mechanics then the fight would be unsuitable for raiding.
