Instead of dying because you forgot a boss mechanic you will simply die because you dodged the aoe but the server ticks decide you didn't.
I disagree with that. The Rathalos fight is suprisingly, a great fight which forces you to observe the target and abuse its small windows between mechanics as opening. If a player just stand arround close and don't expect to get hit by something, said player would just make a fool out of himself. This Game desperately needs something fresh when it comes to its Combat System (and Jobs in general but thats another Topic) and just because you and a select few don't like it, doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad mechanic, as mentioned before it works fine in WoW and i see no reason why it shouldnt work here since the Rathalos fight works just fine with a fair amount of Difficulty.
