Yeah I'm technically cheesing it, but it just means I CANT get hit by any mechanic for the rest of the fight or its certain death, so I kind of think that balances it out.

edit: its certainly NOT because I dont know the mechanics or I like being lazy, its because I miss a ton of GCDs moving out of that AoE for what seems like minimal damage and minor punishment.
Yeah, I have 0 idea on actual melee mechanics, I only ever take my healer in - and I know that it's sometimes "worth it" to skip a mechanic (I'll sometimes double-shield a melee doing the LB3 because there's no good time for it), so I don't see that and automatically think "lazy".

But then there's the bard I had last night that at one point during Agrias had 5 vulnerability stacks because they never used shields, never dodged AOEs, did nothing but stand there and shoot (they ate every mechanic in Mustadio and Cid, too) and I just... well, I don't despair, I just let them die and rez them when I have mana.
