Please stop with the "no duplicates" and pigeon-holing our DPS into tiny windows

i think its just semantics at this point. it still a DPS check at the end of the day if people choose not to do the tank LB3, its just that the fail mechanic for not passing it is bypassed. you simply don't "need" to tank LB3 to pass the content, it just slightly faster. they admitted it was unintended, im willing to accept that more than saying "they're full of it".

The tiger in Byakko is more a damage mitigation check, which can be eased by dps.

A real dps check requires you to do a set ammount of damage in a specific time or else you get a certain and always the same penalty for failing, e.g. death/a set ammount of damage/damage down/other debuffs.
Like the adds in Ramuh/Ifrit, the add in A7s, the meteors in O4s or the daemon walls in Feridads dungeon.

But this is absolutly not true here: You can survive the tiger with 10% HP left, with 20% or even with 40%+ HP left, depending on mitigation like adlo, ShakeItOff, Divine Veil, etc...
or well, 100% with tank lb3.
Is adlo deploy cheesy because you can do like 10% less damage than without spreaded shields?
Shouldn't the SCH dps instead of shielding to help beating a "dps check"????


The intended use of tank LB3 is exactly that: Do hefty mitigation by sacrificing your LB. The only way I see to delegitimize this is to make no mitigation (like shields) possible at all. Then its a proper dps check and noone would've even expected it to be survivable with tank lb.

Until then its also a mitigation check and why shouldnt you be allowed to use a mitigation lb for that when you're allowed to beat a real dps check with a dps LB????
Thats cheesy, too, right?
