A little scared of the future

[MoroMurasaki]

Just wanted to say, in regards to this point, it's not always the non-healers fault for not getting the healing. I've done content(Alpha 3.0 most recently) where AoE healing was going off...and I got nothing....and I was the MT for it. BRDs and BLMs are usually the ones who are way off in Narnia...but sometimes it is the healer who isn't close enough to the others as well.

Exceptions to every rule and all that jazz but in general the area in which you fight this dragon is hardly large enough for anyone to be missing healing.

I also suppose I credited the OP with my assumption that they don't stand off in the middle of nowhere spamming Medica. I could be wrong, I have not played with them.

One thread was made with the sole purpose of mocking this one which is why we have two near identical posts

Apparently it's difficult to talk about the same thing in the same thread.

Difficulty in this game does not concern me at all as there is plenty of mildly challenging to extremely difficult content already that some people seem to ignore entirely for some reason. But I am afraid for server stability after today's lag and disconnects of the entire raid in O11.

Zero, because if people can't be trusted with something as easy as The Burn then one can hardly trust them with the solo instances.

Oh right, there are people complaining that Azim's solo instance is impossible with i370. I did it on i350 WHM but woe is the i370 MNK.

I don't get what the problem is, it is possible to pass what very few non-ex/sav dps checks by just smashing random buttons, but the game goes a step further and even highlights the right button with flashing lights.

The only major issue that should come from the Burn is the from a min ilvl tank, because that tankbuster chunks them hard, even in tankstance, and there's no telegraph (or if there is, I havent seen it). But even then that's still not crazy, and the boss barely autos, and he spends most of his time casting room aoes.

We had the same "outcry" about Shinryu normal. A game requires interaction, and even now Burn/Arbor doesn't need more than 2 people to complete. How is that interactive when content is designed so that a majority of the playerbase (DPS players) are irrelevant?

Oh was someone complaining its too hard? what a breath of fresh air. Thanks OP. I still disagree though, while its absolutely true the burn can be a nightmare to heal at the last boss (if dps dont stand in heal range which happens and has happened and will happen) it's not so bad if people do it correctly, and can even be easy if you have a great team, which accounts for why some people think its so easy.

My only issue with mist dragon is that it can be hard to judge two fog plumes and find a safe spot before the AoE hits. I literally had my toe touching and still got encased.

I think it targets the dps, I haven't tested this but if the dps stack on top of each other when he casts the aoes will be stacked resulting in only one place to dodge.

The problem is exactly what you just stated. The players complaining are just used to being carried through all content and once they need to stand on their own feet for a few minutes they fall apart. Mist Dragon is a perfect example of this. Most fights in this game can be healed with just regens and the occasional single target heal on the main tank.

Bads will be continue to be bad because instead of trying to improve they'll just make threads like this complaining that content needs to be nerfed when in reality it only requires basic skills you should have by level 70.
