And that's the problem I have with that fight. It isn't about YOU and YOUR skill, it's about YOU getting put into a good group with ONE under-performer who causes everybody to wipe because the mechanics are that unforgiving. I don't like wipefests, I don't like blowing 30 minutes+ (especially with that insane distance from the 2nd shortcut) on the same fight because the fight allows almost zero room for error.
Kick the underperformers, then. This game needs more fights that actually have a chance of failure, because that's the only way people learn they don't actually know anything about their class.

If you just want free wins, there's always fate grinding our potd/hoh to occupy your time. Or you can unsync run things if you really want free wins.

Like I said before, I have no sympathy if people can't handle these mechanics at this point in the game. You've grown up to what, 350-370+ by this point? If someone can't handle mist dragon after a few attempts after playing the literally hundreds of hours to get to this point, they need to take some time for self reflection a kick offers, perhaps reevaluate their desire to play.

Because the time they've spent has been wasted to to this point.
