Personally I don't mind a couple of wipes in A8 but yeah have to agree with you because the fight itself is a lengthy one like a synced T9, it's much more tiring and frustrating to wipe in there than other fights. Imagine a 1% enrage in there lol.
Anyway we're just on the second week of the patch so wipes are common for now since it's the 'second coil' tier of the raid after all and everyone are still on their previous patch gear. It will definitely be faster and less wipe down the road later on.
