And are there any trade offs for this aside from "the long hard work"? Are these classes doing less overall dps, have less healing output, or is naturally less tanky?

If their ping is constantly at a high latency that they can't realistically do these encounters, then it's something on their end, either not meeting the minimum or just being distanced. And even then, high latency can still get in the way of negating these attacks unless its a persistent passive stat (which or may not lead to more problems with the above)

> Dodging and dealing with mechanics is already "figuring out" the fight. How you "beat the fight" is also varied depending on the boss. T6 has the LoS vs briar, as well as SS vs burn. T7 has stacking renauds, T8 has 1 tank vs 2 tanks, etc etc.
