The chaotic raid is so weird because you don’t need to be any good at doing mechanics to get to phase 2, because in phase 1 you can’t cause huge problems unless you either kill everyone with the flare or you die as a tank. And then in phase 2 if you die (regardless of role) it can be hard to get raised and then get into position fast enough for the next mechanic that will cause a big problem if it’s not done right.

And then we all get annoyed with PF because we have a mechanical consistency test and bodycheck several minutes into what’s seemingly intended to be a beginner-friendly raid. Instead of adding more requirements before being able to enter, they should rethink the design of the raid itself.
