I find this whole train of thought inherently distressing based on the idea of skipping mechanics.

The most recent, simple example of this I can think of is Susano EX. As the fight goes on longer he throws worse and worse combos at you. I was doing it with a combo of FC members and pugs at the time and invariably people would have trouble with the whirlpool>churning>whirlpool sequence that happens toward the end.

It got so bad we were inviting our pf members to our discord for callouts so that we could not wipe to that specific mechanic, especially because even if my cohealer and I lived through it if we lost 3/4 DPS to it and had no mp for rezzes we just couldn't get everyone back up in time.

Know what the answer was? More DPS so we never saw that set of mechanics. One FC member swapped from mnk to BLM for mana shift duty, my cohealer took the brunt of the healing on AST and I focused on DPS as WHM.

So no, if one of our DPS's did technically enough to beat enrage that doesn't secure a clear necessarily and in a farm situation specifically you are going to want to skip nasty mechanics when you can to minimize three chance of a wipe.

Basically "the best defense is a good offense".
