Bardam's Mettle is nothing more than a tutorial on how to dodge

[Dement]

A lot of people will be like that since there has never been a fight that is purely dodging. It does test your reaction for sure, but I kid you not, I seen wipes on it, my second run was a disaster, I had 3 new people and the tank wouldn't let me explain the basics of it to anyone so we wiped, and even after I did get words in, the Sam we had just nonchalantly walked out of things and still got hit.

The question remains that if its so easy but you're seeing repeated wipes.... why are you getting hit by easily dodged mechanics? Only one person has to pass and to fail you have to get hit twice. No explanation is needed for don't stand in AoE markers and I wouldn't have stopped to explain that either if I were that tank.

Just because it's entirely soloable doesn't mean 3 other people should flat out refuse. If we have to carry people through fights like this why even have group content?

I'd rather have the ability to carry 3 other people through content than a normal fight where if the healer or the tank goes down early to easily dodged mechanics then it's a guaranteed wipe no matter how good you are.

yet I've been in a number of runs here and have had parties wipe repeatedly

Doesn't it only take one person doing the mechanics correctly to pass?

That aside, I personally find the "fight" to be pretty fun and creative, and I hope SE continues to implement more unorthodox dungeon segments.

I didn't say repeated, I had one wipe and have heard of others. And I explained how my wipe went down. Never in any post did I say I have issues with it.

Ya everyone needs to get hit, and I enjoy it, I initially thought it was going to be sephirot 2nd phase, but I was wrong lol.

I loved that 2nd fight, even posted in the gold saucer section in hopes we can see something similar as a GATE. :3

Sounds like a great idea to me. Probably gonna be an event square GATE. Does break up the pace of 50/50 dance or fungah

This is the easiest fight in the entire game even dating back to 2.0, yet I've been in a number of runs here and have had parties wipe and heard of wiping repeatedly,

... And seeing people fail to it tells you how much that fight was needed ^^

And it´s so much fun ^^ came to that fight yesterday, missed a few things because i was "why am i disabled to attack?" but we cleared it on first try ...

i think yoshi himself designed that fight xD

[Warlyx]

we need more of those , no less.

it was an awesome suprise !

I think this was honestly instituted for those who may choose to jump potion. Either way, I am happy to see it in the game.

The only thing that threw me off as far as boss mechanics go initially is the fact that the first boss' charge does MORE damage if you're close to it, as opposed to less like most attacks of the nature.

I made the mistake of using Cover on a melee DPS who was being targeted by it, and it didn't end nicely.

I love the 2nd boss fight and hope there'll be more like that in future dungeons.

I don't understand the parts where it says not to be afraid of the wind and the stars but the rest of it is very straight forward.
