We need to do something about Tanks and Outgoing Damage from Bosses

[Titania40]

I mean nobody is asking for pinpoint precision with everyone needing to be alive to meet it, but something needs to be done to put a stopper on tanks playing god-mode in normal content. If 2 people can slowly whittle down a boss across 30 minutes then there is an issue... Whether that is excessive self-sustain or or bosses just dealing less damage than what a tank can sustain themselves on.

Also, assuming you're referring to that walk in the second dungeon, then it's incredibly lenient, and I mean incredibly.

The 2nd dungeon, with the butterflies everywhere? Second boss has a mechanic which if you don't have all 4 people doing the mechanic, the party WILL fail if the boss gets 4 stacks total. As I learned when a duty support NPC decided to not do that mechanic on the 2nd go round (they kept running from location to location instead of picking one). Another Duty Support run failed cause I was stuck in a cage when the mechanic spawned the third time, and didn't quite have enough time to break the cage and run to where I needed to be. Instant fail.

If we're talking about the 2nd Boss in Dohn Mheg, that's not necessarily an issue with Stack Markers. If anything it at least poses something for the player to learn about blocking the tethers, and with the additions to the Hall of the Novice it helps out a lot completing the whole thing.

Well, yeah. I was trying to avoid mentioning the dungeon's name, because people get really angry about "spoilers" if you mention the actual names of dungeons. And yeah, the new Hall of Novice boss mechanics tutorial did help with knowing what you're expected to do. Assuming people actually ran the tutorial, that is. Getting that dungeon in a leveling roulette was nice. Getting it with 3 first timers who'd never seen that particular mechanic before, and refused to do the Hall of the Novice tutorials because "tutorials are for losers" (according to one of them) meant we struggled with that particular boss till I managed to convince them of what to do. Dohn Mheg's last boss is IMO annoying as hell due to it turning into a platforming challenge. The group really struggled with that one.

I can't imagine how those three got through the second boss of Stormblood's level 65 dungeon.
