Which is your least favorite primal and why?

[RokkuEkkusu]

Odin at Urth's Fount trial.

Reason - it is not in trial roulette. It is a literal shame it is not (or at least I got told so) - the only thing spicy about it is the tankbuster. I wish it was added to the trial roulette list.

There are several reasons why it's not in Trial Roulette. It's one that is harder than normal/hard trials, but easier than Extreme ones. However, it is in Mentor Roulette.

The Einjenhar+Gungnir combo wrecks pugs. It's an unavoidable aoe, then a tight dps check to destroy spears. It becomes very healing intensive because a lot of damage is going out during this time. The bleed debuffs will last and cover several parts of the arena as long as the spears are up. And don't expect pugs to place spears at convienient locations to create safe spots.

In unsynced parties, Valknut is the one that knocks out people who don't want to avoid it. It scales based on one's HP.

Shiva.

I enjoy the aesthetics and mechanics of the fight. Yet I really can't stand the music in the second phase. Tsuyokumi's final theme is a good example of what I wanted from Shiva's second phase. Something regal and laced with sadness. Instead we ended up getting something that I found grating.

You are allowed your opinion, but you know the reason they did her music like that was to show another side to her personality, not a change in it. The gave the example when they mentioned the singer. "She's this sweet timid thing, but put a mic in her hand and she's got this power inside her" or something like that. True both of them suffered, but it was different kinds of suffering. Tsukuyomi was straight up abuse, Shiva's was just the harshness of the world.

And the orchestral version fits what you wanted just no vocals.

As for me, I like doing a majority of these fights, I even did Tsukuyomi and Shinryu on a whim, kinda. But I'd say I hate Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan the most. Their fights just feel more bland in comparison. Titan gets a bit of a pass since he actually has a personality, and isn't "evil" like the other two, but I still don't care for his fight.

- Titan: I love his music but those damn landslides...(I was soo out of that..)
-Ifrit unsynch: I just "love" his wipe mechanic if you DPS him too much. Feels like I am a bit crippled as a DoT Mage in this fight because I always fear that the DoTs would be too much. Also: Oh no, I forget to stop my Egi..

-Bismark: You have a huge whale but somehow you mostly just fight adds and sometimes hit a part of his back..thats it..its just so boring.

I enjoyed much Byakko somehow, like the fight. ^-^

For a long time in 2.0, I hated Titan with a passion... mainly due to the net ping issues at time.

Now its Alexander (his form in Soul of the Creator Savage)... it's presently an easy fight but his space-time moves still irritate me.

[Berteaux_Braumegain]

Bismarck your just fighting adds on a floating island with occasional target point on it.

This and it's not a terribly interesting deity. Some Primals are too easy to fight or just pop up randomly in the story, like Lakshmi, but they at least have interesting story presence. I liked how unsettling her desire to brainwash everyone was.

Bismarck has both of these problems but none of the intrigue. I remember being utterly baffled when he turned up early Heavensward, only for the entire cast to forget he existed until shortly before Azys Lla.

Titan especially before unsynch was available and had to clear it the old fashioned way.I hate how the arena gets smaller and you have to do those cramped up mechanics in that small space ugh.Like the dumb exploding rocks I remember people kept dying to was annoying.

Yes indeed... add all that to the fact that it was necessary to clear it in order to unlock Coil and you can image my intense frustration with that battle.

Byakko isn't a primal xD
