I have to react before they go out or I will get hit by them. Making MSQ content too much more difficult would frustrate me to the point that I would not want to keep trying.
    Wait I’m confused I understand your condition but how can you both raid savage and almost be at limit with the MSQ difficulty, mechanics go out way slower in normal content than savage content, if you aren’t dodging with 2-3 seconds to spare in normal then you’d be getting hit by every mechanic in savage

    Not to mention that in savage a good chunk of aoes aren't telegraphed.

    A damn good shot caller, primarily. By the time I have been hit by the same mechanic a dozen or so times I learn the pattern so I can predict it going off in time to avoid it. That is also why I struggle with mechanics like Channeling where it's random though [especially when I'm in a crowd of people so reading the marker is rough for me.]

    Also, it isn't so much that I am at the limit as that I don't want to deal with that level of frustration and the time it takes to learn and overcome that challenge in casual main story content and I shouldn't have to.

    One more edit to add: The reason I will tolerate the frustration of dying to/wiping to mechanics time and time again in Savage is because Savage is supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be frustrating and you are supposed to fail again and again and again until it finally clicks. There is no feeling more satisfying than clearing a savage after your thirtieth wipe. But I don't want to go through that in MSQ.
