Yeah, the M2 Barbaricca phase is really fun as its one of the few times in normal content where I will end up explicitly dropping uptime to dodge it. I'll probably be able to get it without that with more experience, but on the first few clears it was genuinely engaging unlike most recent normal raids. It's such a genuinely refreshing change. I know people who quit in EW because the game had become so trivial for them. Hopefully we see these people return!
