So I had a very interesting Aglaia run today where I recommended we focus the Lioness first and was met with, well, basically a dogpiling telling me I'm wrong, taking the piss, etc.
I've run Aglaia more times than I want to admit in my effort to max all my jobs, and am growing tired of reaching scales or having slow runs, so maybe it's not for me to ask for that, but I am curious if I'm just understanding it wrong since they seemed flabbergasted that I even implied it was better to kill Lioness first.
So, this is my understanding of the mechanics:
Lion does AoE puddle and Lioness does a donut.
People usually mark 1 the Lion and it never made sense to me because as a melee you're forced to disengage every time they do the limit cut ability puddle/donut. (Because you are always pushed to the side where the lioness is to dodge the mechanics)
If you focus Lioness down you can always have uptime, kill her quicker and then kill the Lion before he does a singular puddle if the dps is good enough, but even if it's not good enough you only have to disengage once as apposed to twice with focusing Lion.
Sure it's only a little bit of damage but everyone wants faster runs, right?
Am I misunderstanding the mechanics? Because everyone seemed to think I was and was making fun of me lol. I'll concede if I'm wrong.
