Delubrum Reginae: my honest critique

[Arohk]

I think the bosses in there were interesting and offered a decent challenge for going in blind, a lot of new mechanics i have not seen in other boss fights resulting in me dieing a lot to find out what their attacks do.

But here is my biggest problem, the unbalance of parties, my group got 1 healer and 7 dps, the poor astro couldn't keep up with the healeing and i had to help out spamming Vitaga, i used uo 75 charges of vitaga to keep the party alive. but another group got 4 healers in their party.
This resulted in a rather frustrating experience as people just died because they got no healing in time.

It would be a lot more enjoyable if parties were balanced as they are in normal alliance raids, 1 Tank, 2 healer, 5 dps.

what if you go in there and don't have a single tank or healer? you are screwed.

the problem exists since bozja was released, unbalanced groups and the ignorance of se to allow players to change gear after they joined a bozja cm or raid, is one of the reason why players decide to skip this content (death penalty from pre year 2000 games is another big point).

since ppl glorifiy yoshi so much, i would say it's also his fault to give all those design flaws, like matchmaking/groupmaking in bozja, a pass.

Thats not a problem because you can adjust with every class to everything.

I guess the bigger problem is the lazy design of the whole DR thing.
There you can perfectly see that SE does not know what to do with the healer classes because they get reduced to do 1 oGCD heal after any raidwide and rezzing.
Because if you misplay any mechanic = death.
Get hit twice by something = death.

And dont get me started with how lazy they try to keep Bozja busy without making you feel any stronger after doing DR.
Because these OP new Actions does not work in CLL or Bozja.
While you have no other option then using them in DR (savage) because they are uncontested the best action you can use...

Sadly DR is not the promised BA 2.0....

so healers aint needed because all tanks and dds can make up for it with their self heal abilitys?

As a Tank, I was full healing the party using Savior essence and Lost Cure 4. Then I would only raise players with lost arise or phoenix down if they could raise players themselves.

No you should have healers, there's a lot of raidwide damage. My mp is better suited for raising lol. People need to use more Lost Actions though, but that's a whole other problem.

[Undeadfire]

SE literally expects people to use Lost Actions and some are crazy overpowered that can heal a whole party.

When i Q up as DPS i dont wanna be in there spamming clunky heals, i literally never used any of the damage Actions ebcause i always need to heal myself.

Don't need to spam Heals if you do mechanics correct, or just go Red Mage.

There are unavoidable aoe attacks that deal 8o % damage.
