Why the hate with endgame fights?

[Sebazy]

yes ive done skalla cleanly, the only issue is that the boss jumps to a random side and screws up placement. No, i dont see people in it with five stacks

I don't believe you, his random jump is part of the mechanic, you failed because you uh, failed, not because he jumped to a random side. I suspect you don't see people with five stacks because you're simply not looking. But having your eyes firmly shut seems to be a reoccurring theme here so meh.

No, if you make hashmal slower it doesn't help, any more than the already slow one-hit mechanics help apparently, and there's a lot of them.

Rubbish. Absolute drivel. I see multiple people on every single last Hashmal recording that I've got that are running in the right direction for extreme edge but didn't quite make it for whatever reason. By giving them a few extra seconds, a higher percentage of people would be able to consistently survive thus making the mechanic easier by virtue. Storymode Nid is precisely the same deal, it's even more clearly telegraphed, just some people don't have the awareness or mechanical skill to reliably survive it. Giving these people a larger window to get clear would make it easier for them. I'm really not sure how you can argue against this TBH.

Bonus question, you say there's a lot of other one-hit mechanics in Hashmal, name them. I can think of 2 that are truly one-hits. That's not really a lot is it?

expert roulette doesn't matter, its possible to ignore it completely because its only real reward is tomes

Expert Roulette DOES matter because it's the first taste people get of the end game in FFXIV and frankly, it tastes like stale complacency and disappointment if you ask me. The reason people tend not to bother is because there are far more stimulating ways to get tomes (like just about every other alternative).

I suggested the mol mostly because its already in the game and apparently it isnt enough since you can go beat him and not know how to do the stuff in endgame you think people don't know how to do.

You suggested the mol because it makes your point look good, don't even bother trying to lie to me. Would your point stand if you used Yojimbo as a reference? I don't think so.
