Yep, that's fair.

Just saying that, if you pay attention, you should not die. Or at least minimal deaths. Nobody expects you to be a god behind a screen.
While that's also true, the data on this fight shows a LOT of deaths. So, what should be and what actually are don't line up. A lot of the playerbase finds this to be a difficult fight.

Funnily enough, the most i'm dying is during the fish(dude, don't know the name ) when the add freezes me because i mistake the iceskater for anything but that. But that can be healed through if the other healer notices...
If you don't stand on the ice and people aren't failing something else, you should never be frozen.

The problem is just, how would you balance, say... Whm so its actually dangerous? I don't mind oneshot mechanics as whm at all. I don't mind throwing a Medica 2 through quacke and be done with it, either.
The Game just doesn't punish people enough for not doing mechanics. And Hashmal does.
I'd reduce all healing effects in the game by a third (and rebalance fights appropriately as needed). Someone taking 25k in avoidable damage, while not lethal to a geared character, should be a bad thing that takes real effort to recover from. It doesn't right now. Moro and I coheal Rabanastre together weekly and combined we can bring the entire group back up from 1hp to full in less than 5 seconds. Then we go back to DPSing. Moro thinks that's just fine, I tend to see it as an issue with how healing works.

And like i said, bad design are mechanics you can't really do because they either work or not -crush helm, the debuff does whatever it wants because the esuna cast time is actually too long and server latency and all that. The Hp either drops minimal, or a lot, even if you do not esuna the debuff.
or can be cheesed to the point its not even a mechanic anymore- confuse on the last boss by spamming your move button
or the ones that are just plain out wrong - scatter
at least for ME.
Yeah there's some wonky stuff in there. Figuring out what that last boss actually wants you to do was a hassle, although it's not quite as bad now that the text was changed to be less misleading.
