Same reason people find fights like Ramuh Ex harder (yep T13 with randoms >>>>> Ramuh with randoms, RIP in pieces). Everyone has a different way of learning fights; through trial and error, watching videos, reading explanations, having someone guide them through it, etc etc. Get a random DF group with people that have all different learning styles? Some people are going to lag behind the rest, and in a fight like T2 that's not gonna fly so good. Guiding 1-2 fresh sprouts through a fight is easy enough, but when the inexperienced are in the majority, ehhhh... It can be done, but the few experienced folk are liable to get impatient.(05-16-2015, 07:48 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: No one expects someone to completely grasp mechanics from watching a video. It's good to give you an idea of what's in store, though.
I would kill myself if I had to let someone wipe to Allagan Rot a hundred times until they got it because they had no idea how the mechanic worked.
Disclaimer, I've yet to do Rot with anyone, but I imagine telling new people to "play hot potato with the debuff! always pass it to the same person!" would work well.... no?
But hey if anyone wants to do T2 non-enrage HMU any time. If you like doing the Cha Cha Slide you will like T2: For Real. I am not sure at what point T2 enrages became a thing since I had to stop playing around 2.1, but I feel like a non-echo, pure mechanics run of First Coil might be a nice thing to add to a pre-3.0 bucket list, especially for people who joined after 2.1.
