Favorite mechanics in a fight

[PondHollow]

I'd say my favorite mechanics ever in fights are

• Archive Peripheral, from the last fight of Savage Omega, and
• Mindjack, when Halicarnassus (Savage) last uses it

Both are intuitive, geometric mechanics that you set down and watch play out.

What are other mechanics you'd like to see being used more?

[Khalithar]

Mechanics that are like a dance with the positioning. Pantakrator from o11s and Forsaken 3-4 in O8s come to mind. It’s rough the first time but once you learn them and everyone moves perfectly it’s so satisfying to watch.

Fun wise suzaku ex DDR... i love it so much!

[Annoynymoose]

A11S Cruise Chaser (Savage)'s 1-8 mechanic.

I really enjoyed the lightning jumps from Susano on a personal level but god I hated doing them in a group. It's not as bad now but it would drive me insane seeing people try to sneak in just one more GCD and nearly wipe the party because of it. Still, whenever I get Susano for Trial Roulette or hop into an EX farm I have a blast.

Also although it took awhile, the dance that is Titan EX is just plain fun to me now. I hated it back in ARR but now it's just a blast.

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

Got a lot of them.


O2S - the entire up-down concept
O3S - Book Phase
O4S - Black Hole (Fire III + Holy version)
O8S - Forsaken 2
O9S - Four element phases
O11S - Level Checker + Pantokrator 2
O12S - Target Analysis + Hello World 2
E1S - Vice & Virtue
E2S - Spell in Waiting
E3S - Tsunami 2
E4S - Tectonic Uplift

Shinryu EX - everything :3
Tsuku EX - Supreme Selenomancy

No particular order in terms of actual favourites tho.

As Pld now, every knockback mechanic like in e4s or o4s.
Just love it that I can ignore it and just dash back to the Boss while I get knockbacked.

I also enjoy every kind of HG cheese to ignore any deadly mechanic.

[JowyAtreides]

I liked the maths one from Ridorana. Quick puzzle, get in position and continue the burn. The sniper one is good too.

I prefer ones that essentially mean, if I mess up, I die. Raid wipe deaths when an individual messes up aren't very fun.

[Daralii]

Spell in Waiting is up there, just because of how mindbending it can get. I'm not good at thinking and doing rotations at the same time.

[Satai]

Hmm.

T9, whole phase after first heavensfall
T11, tethers and add phase
T12, basically the whole fight
T13, the whole fight

Midas 2 savage, the whole fight (4 bosses in one fight with different mechanics each was so much fun back then)

O3s, whole fight
O4s, grand cross omega
08s, third forsaken
011s, pantokrator2
O12s, hello world2

E3s, tsunami2

24raids have fun mechanics too but they are all too easy imo.
Still ppl failing them
