How about we change the "dps check" a little?

E2S, E3S, and E4S all have soft enrages. As did Neo Exdeath, God Kefka, Final Omega, Chaos to a degree (you could survive the 4 sets of debuff before the hard enrage), Tsukuyomi's enrage was an increasing stack damage mechanic, back in the day Shiva and Phoenix had increasing damage stacks throughout the fight, resulting in a soft enrage. There are loads more and are more common than you believe.

How about the increasing number of adds if you "forgot" to do the mechanics of Satasha, or Copperbell mines for example? You know two of the first three dungeons if the game. Too bad most vets have the gear and skill to just steamroll these and not let newbies get a little feel early on that mechanics and performing well are important.
