"Future battle design may cause difficulty with casting spells"

[Valence]

Yeah, when I like that they're trying something different with this tier, seeing that I get a full minutes of forced melee downtime as a RDM in M6S and M7S is very feelsbad. The last thing I want is for them to remove the melee restriction off of RDM's melee combo because I do like optimizing its use, but fights like these that just make it straight up impossible to get my combo out unless I or some other party members jump through hoops to let me get a few hits in feels really rough. Really wish they'd have considered they have a range who's entire burst resource spender relies on being able to hit the boss in melee range at least once every minute

It's the problem with the current mentality and community. People could adjust and help you burn your add faster, but they don't because "muh raid plan".
Back in O7S people actually did this too to help MCH and SMN because they were not jobs able to clear their add on their own during their filler phases, at least at MIL, so you had the tanks to come and help once they were done with their stuff. It's no different from some creative uses of rescue on tanks for Hello World in O12S, or some BLM friendly adjusted strats that emerged even post SHB. Before EW became a thing, we also had melee uptime friendly adjustments that usually came out later after early prog.
Call me nuts but that's what I liked with the older battle content, it promoted team play and thinking, and not just mindless raidplan vomit.

Take this with a pinch of salt since i'm now retired and haven't played through M6S myself though. I'm just saying, perhaps before shooting down the only savage design so far that stands out in 7.2, maybe it's a community problem that the devs have had a big hand in forging over the past expansions with their lack of creativity and macdonaldization all across the board.
