Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[RyuDragnier]

Getting really tired of P8S, and seriously contemplating the idea of quitting raid until the Echo comes because of how horrible the first half of the fight is. First half is essentially an ultimate. Anybody fails any mechanic, they've likely caused a wipe. Combine that with the DPS check, and you have absolute frustration. Which is sad because the 2nd half of P8S is genuinely fun with a puzzle mechanic you can't even target the boss during. But that first half...it's not fun, it's frustrating, it's draining, it makes me question my sanity, bad enough to where I start freaking out and have near breakdowns when it shows up in Normal Raid roulette.

Can sympathize with you there. P4S's Part 2 after the gate battle pretty much got one static I had disbanded, and got me kicked out the second one I went to. Never managed to get Act 2 down because my memory was just so bad with the variations. Hic Svnt Leones doesn't sit well with me anymore.
