OHKOs is Lazy Boss Design

[ValkyrieL]

OHKO need to exist or players abuse the fkk out of the encounter, people will completely ignore the encounter mechanics as there is no punishment, the party requirements will be scuff, Most will opt for 1 tank 1 healer if there is no punishment for having said comp.
take a look at the latest Extreme, IMO is heavily undertune in terms of damage for tanks and overall mitigation requirements, so what do people do when they know they won't get punish by Tank busters/demanding mitigation, you just SOLO tank/heal and ignore the last 35% of the fight.

then you'd be happy to know that the latest alliance raid seems to be more your speed. Have fun

There is nothing new in P7N, it's all old mechanics, git gud. Also this topic didn't warrant a necrobump

OHKOs mechanics are required to make up for the deficiency of healer checks. There's just is not enough outgoing damage to force healers to gcd heal, by design.

OHKO's are the dividing point of the people that want to play the game, and the people that want to get carried in the game.

Dying constantly to 1 mechanic and haven't learned to dodge it? Bye bye, your getting replaced.

Literally every knockback in P7N is telegraphed with the arrows on the ground, so while I generally wouldn't say this....

Skill Issue.

Ok. Why didn't you explain your deaths then? Why have you not given any context to what your situation was? Why do you refuse to elaborate on why or how these deaths occured?

To give substance to your complaint and no other reason.

I did it with them once. They didn't move into safety circles at the start, didn't spread properly twice, and fell off the platform at one point. I don't get why they're flaming people here instead of just.. describing what happened.

Sometimes you die to a mechanic and you learn to never do what you just did again - easy example: blowing yourself up as Ifrit in P8S because you forgot about the long debuff AOE.

It's how you learn in normal, it's how you learn in savage, and it's certainly how you learn in ultimate.

Well I guess their necro was successful, people are blind to dates and keep pushing dead topics.

Personally I think mechanics that give the whole group a damage down purely because someone messes up could be said to be a lazy way to increase fight difficulty and more annoying than satisfying to resolve.

I’m not sure what they could replace one shot kill type mechanics with which maintains the difficulty and reward for clearing?
