In FFXIV, the way boss mechanics work often can make you feel like you are lagging, or otherwise that the game doesn’t work right! In reality, the game is extremely consistent in how its mechanics work, it simply works… Completely different from most other MMOs!

To some players, this kind of functionality of Telegraphs may be entirely obvious! But for players coming in from other games it may seem entirely unintuitive that it works like this in FFXIV!
Are there other weirdly unintuitive mechanics you think would be good to explain in this kind of format? ^^
I didn't know about the Dragoon jump, that explains a few deaths I've had haha
so its more a recommendation not the attack itself
this also applies when dodging into telegraphs as soon as a telegraph is starting to disappear you can dodge in to avoid another incoming attack since even tho the attack animation displays the game still thinks you are in the safe spot as the attack goes out
