OHKOs is Lazy Boss Design

[Rolder50]

I've had that done when someone necro'd one of my old posts complaining about Rescue and I was like "I don't even feel that way anymore. I was just made and wanted to vent".

Rescue do be kinda trash though, thanks to the way the netcode works.

As the OP, I did not approve of this necro.

We still just think you have to git gud though. Just saying.

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?

Once saw a tank eat 8 vun stacks then die instantly to a none lethal Aoe. Vun stacks seem harmless until they are not and some bosses have stacking debuffs where 2 or 3 stacks turns harmless mechanics deadly.

OHKO should never be used in situations where the player may be expected to complete the content with randoms, rather than a pre-made. Too many trolls. Keep OHKO in high end content.

i always get the sneaking suspicion that people who complain about this are the type of people who like to stand where the tank is and then proceed to get annihilated by the tankbuster.

the amount of times i did aglaia and had to inform casters/phys ranged to not stand on top of me only to watch them get annihilated by one of two tankbusters was... interesting.

It's also punishing for healers. Instead of using my healing tools I have to stay there and hardcast a raise for 8 seconds to pick up the guy who will die in the next minute again anyway. And I have the feeling that it is considered griefing to just leave them dead and spam Glare instead.

This is precisely why it is a lazy design. Sure, just dodge the mechanics, but doesn't detract from the fact it's a lost opportunity for healers to actually engage with their full toolkit.

I just wait for an good moment to rez. What are they gonna do? Tell me to play better after dying an easily preventable death?

It's not, the griefing is dying to things that you've seen dozens of time
