    Ping Pong Ball Death Design for bosses lately. Up, down, up, down.

    When mechanics are gotten down the boss fights are fun and engaging I find about 90% of the time...

    My tank can take a mistake or 2

    But if I do get hit once on my RDM, 80% of my health is gone and I'm landed with a DoT. And can die to one tick of 30k... as the healers are already gimped trying to rez alot of people or pumping throughput... this is starting to sound like a savage at this point.

    So I can die once... but then I die again... and again... and again.

    Because mechanics are constantly resolving for up to 2 minutes straight on some boss/trial fights, there are constant hazards coming down on me that some mix of being animation locked for 3.5s or 5s invuln being just short enough to get splat for 70% of my hp that a rez sick healer can't get up kills me again.

    IN ADDITION:
    I can now be killed while locked in rez animation and die again with no I-Frames.

    There's so much mess/hazards happening at once it leads to stimulus overload.

    Or I am rezzed into a myriad of AoE field drop downs and Healer big CD's are down and just get splat because it takes longer than my I-Frames to run out of them.

    The 2-minute long constant resolving of danger needs to be trimmed. Constant AoE threats and hazards, as well as short I-frames or NONE AT ALL on being rezzed is BS because it's already crippling to have no MP as red mage to help rez once I am rezzed.

    I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT CASUAL DIFFICULTY SHOULD BE BASED off of sweaty raiders and and people having done the trial/raid/dungeon 50 TIMES or moremidways into Xpac.

    I get it, I was there once in ICC, 15 years ago and sweaty Arena playing wanting to be challenged or be the best

    But I'm old and work overtime w/ dependents. I can get stimulus overload or be too tired to sweat out a fight. I already don't do savage/ultimate for a reason.

    Chill, this is casual mode.
