Depending on your perspective, creator is actually more difficult than Midas, but less bullshit

That's why I said depending on perspective lol. I agree in A9 and A10S you can clear them pretty quick even fuck up a lot, but A11S I think is around A6S and A7S in difficulty, you still need great team coordination and skill to clear them.

In my view wiping to other people's mistakes over and over again is bullshit when you are doing everything perfectly, at that point your skills don't matter especially as a healer, you just do your rotation for most of the fight, because you know if shit goes wrong at any point there is nothing you can do to recover. I'd rather have the most complex mechanics in the world than have simple mechanics in Midas that if someone fucks up, everyone is dead.

As such, mechanics are more difficult, dense, but there is less emphasis on fuck you mechanics for no reason. Again if I take A7S as an example, during the first week when we were doing it, we died so many times to the super beam killing a shielded target instantly because the DOT ticks the moment the beam hits, at i212-1215 we were at there is literally nothing you can do about that. and then the boss just gains a permanent damage up debuff which was hell to heal through in early prog. Then the boss just has one billion health and repeats the same boring mechanics over and over until you wanna puke.

A8S I think is the perfect difficulty, just a long enjoyable dance and when there are group wipe mechanics it kind of makes sense for them to be there.
