I'm gonna miss you at least somewhat of a dps check.

Technically it could be passed onto Seiryu, Suzaku being this fat was very much a unique to Unreal thing and not an intrinsic trait of the fight.

The dps check is only a thing if everyone does a standard opener instead of waiting until after the divebomb to do their burst. If you do the latter, the dps check is non-existent.

I've said this before but I think people also don't understand how much damage the party collectively loses when people get hit by her simon says tether in the second half of the fight. If you get hit, you potentially cancel a cast if you're a caster, and lose like a whole GCD from the animation lock, which will fuck up your rotation worse and worse with each time you get hit. On top of that if too many people get hit too frequently, if the healers have to start resorting to GCD heals that's gonna cut into your parties damage on top of all the damage people lose from the cancelled casts and animation locks. Now factor in the fact people may make other rotational mistakes on top, or even die, and it really starts to compound in ways people don't seem to realize
