    The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

    For players who just want to do the story, there should not be mechanics that you only see in Extreme or Savage. What is Square Enix thinking putting all these ridiculously difficult mechanics in a dungeon boss like Exaflares or the second boss's ridiculous amount of AoEs? The issue is there is no obvious tells for what the solution to the mechanics are and they are totally new so unless you look up a MrHappy or MTQ guide there's no way to know how those mechanics work. After so many people complained about Mist Dragon and The Heroes' Gauntlet how come Square Enix still insists on making dungeons harder and harder? Please stop lol

    1. It's the last dungeon in the MSQ. It should be more difficult than the rest.

    2. The hardest part about the dungeon was the mob pulls between bosses.

    3. Literally every mechanic in all three bosses was visual AOE indicators. You would have to be visually impaired to have any problem with them. Apologies if you are visually impaired.

    4. No boss in The Dead Ends uses an Exaflare.

    Uh no. I've wiped three times to the second boss because there are way too many AoEs that are too hard to see because they overlap each other. Also, the laser beams don't have any visual AoE indicator until it's too late, so you have to guess where to stand. The worst part is that Alphinaud can't heal you because he is too slow. I'm glad that you thought it was easy but not everyone is a hardcore elite gamer so chill with your personal attacks.

    Do it with Trusts, follow them, you can not go wrong.

    Amazing bait post, btw.

    Chill with your personal attacks. You do realize there are spread mechanics so you can't just follow the trusts?

    Outside of the story reason to do Trusts, that is another reason why I really like them. You actually get to learn the mechanics whilst playing the dungeon, no need to spoil it via guide or anything first.

    I admit I did get killed a few times by the second boss, but thats part of the learning process.

    Careful, things that make so much sense will get the inevitable "You're gatekeeping by telling me how to play" argument response from the naysayers.

    Imagine not using the tools the game gives you to actually improve.

    They can't, if they die with trusts, they have to redo the fight and that would make them realize how bad they are. So they need to be carried by other players that will rez them 5 times per fight then complain how people aren't rezzing them, it's toxic and they shouldnt need to use cooldowns if the healer is doing their jobs uwu

    When new savage raids drop i wipe like 50 to 70+ times on them at different stage / phases of the fights when they are still fresh / unknown before gettng it too, maybe because i'm getting older and i learn slower but in the end, i get it. You just persevere.

    Wiping 4 times on one boss before getting it isn't "elitism".

    Please... Don't go back playing most super nintendo games.
