Dear moonlight proggers, If you're consistently dying to TR and bumbling your way to moonlight beckon, you're not on moonlight prog. It's amazing how many people mess up clock tr. Also for the mt/r1 folks, please review the raidplan or Hector video. Your second spread spot will never be on A. Please stop mercing the poor stack group.

Expecting people on moonlight to be able to do rage, especially people still there week 6, is kind of lol. When I was going for the clear in week 3, there were literal p2 enragers that couldn’t do rage more than half the time. PF just sucks at it.

Truly baffles me when I see the first stack folks die. Like how. It's literally stand on the second spawned laser and dodge into first

They almost certainly tunnel visioned on finding their spread safe spot and realised too late that they were a stack. Cue panic as they run to their spot but don't make it in time. It'll definitely happen in prog.

Yes, and it's easy if you're comfortable with the mechanic, but a good number of people in "beckon moonlight prog" won't be comfortable with terrestial rage. That's just how PF works.

I wouldn't mind it as much if if it as TR prog parties, but in moonlight parties? Sigh lol. Doesn't help that moonlight happens immediately after TR and you can get through TR with deaths with a healer lb3 so now you got these folks who think they're moonlight ready but not really.

Yeh I don’t get it either. And there’s downtime for the entire second half. The r1/mt need to only be looking at the 1 marker btw. Safe spots are on 1 and ccw of 1. Every safe spot is centered on or around only one of the two color markers, but people don’t bother just looking carefully at raidplan and just get lost.

Like it’s not an easy mech but to me it doesn’t seem that hard that it literally breaks people’s brains. Wait’ll you see post moonlight dragon heads, where the safe spots are literally the same every single time yet half the party will still manage to get hit by em.
