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

Nope. There is no visual indicator for the beam attack in the last boss for instance. It just randomly beams half the circle. You have to memorize which one it's going to do first (it's Left first, then Right, then Left).

The wing glows on which side it's about to attack.

The only annoying part of that fight is the butterflies, imo, because it is kinda hard to tell which way they're facing when they're so uniform in color.

The butterflies have little circles on the ground below them and on those circles, a directional arrow. Much more helpful IMO.

Running it with a healer who know to use Esuna.

Not for me. But I only run it as healer and I know about Esuna

Ra-La is a joke once you realize he just jumps all over the place. The second boss though, yeah he's a problem.

But the second boss never moves!

To be fair, I've been told by friends that the ground markers are almost impossible to see against the ground color itself if you've got certain types of colorblindness, and I grant that mechanic would probably be extremely annoying if you had to rely solely on the butterfly model itself. So I'm willing to honestly say that some folks having trouble with that particular mechanic may come down as much to an unfortunate color choice as anything else. (I gather the Prance circles are also difficult to see for the affected folks, so that could affect that mechanic a bit as well.)

But in the past when it's become evident that a marker critical to a mechanic is not visible to some significant percentage of colorblind folks, the devs have changed the color (or in some cases, added a pattern to make it more visually distinguishable). Witness how they shifted the color of the zombie goo puddles in one Bozja critical engagement so they were visible against the ground, and added markers to the color zones for another. So I kinda suspect that the subjective invisibility of those ground markers is a transient problem and will be tweaked in some upcoming patch.
