    Mechanically a bit of Bismarck and Lakshmi. The first mainly because of those tornados that follow you, so your options are interrupt your casts to run from tornados or interrupt your cast from tornado lifting you and dealing pity damage, it stung a bit extra with how little mobility 3.0 BLM had. The second because it was a duty action tutorial as mentioned before, although the theme and aesthetics were good.

    But in terms of bad PF experiences Zurvan wins, soooooooooooo many people unable to do easy mechanics, and it had the most boring primal music out of the entire Heavensward.

    On Shiva / Oblivion, that song was the 6th most popular song voted here https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._vote_results/ and one of the most viewed soundtrack songs in dudewhereismyspoon's YT channel.

    Just FYI, on the edges of the island, you could stand there and no tornado goes there. Also, completely dead-center (where the device is), as long as you're 100% PERFECTLY center, you won't get hit by the tornado (the center is by far the hardest to find the perfect spot, otherwise you will be picked up if you're just slightly out of place). You'd only need to move for the bubbles.

    For Bismarck, try standing on the north/south edges of the island as a caster, centered earth/west (12/6 o'clock). You'll have much less movement to do - it's mostly only from the water pools that drop on occasion.

    My most disliked is Leviathan. A lot of people know you have to hit the shield, but if they haven't seen Leviathan in a long time the apparent timing on hitting it is not super clear. The dash he does across beforehand is different, but people are uncertain if they haven't done it in awhile. Don't want to waste the shield after all. And if waiting till the ultimate starts from his dialogue, too bad - it's already screenshotted as not being up. Adding onto this is competent groups that push at...I think it's 35%? Again, if you haven't been in there awhile, whoops, hope someone remembers that percentage. There's nothing difficult about it, the window of "Ah yea, I definitely need to do a thing" is just shorter than it needs to be. Compare to how long you have during Lakshmi to Vril the transition or how long you have to click Susano's sword.

    Then there's always someone making a fuss after a screwup. Well, you didn't do it either, buddy. It's trial roulette, world isn't gonna end if you drop your rotation if you're certain on the timing. Go ensure no wipe instead of hoping the two healers aren't new, etc.

    The rest of the fight is meh on normal and I get extra tired of healing the DPS who doesn't understand why they're taking 500 damage every time they hit levi. For me, he also sorta came out of nowhere, but I admit I was just clicking through quests to try and get caught up at that time (2.3 I think?).
