This, Final Fantasy is one of the worst offenders of this other than a few exceptions status effects have generally been worthless throughout the franchise. This is one thing FF13 got right compared to the rest of the series with the Saboteur paradigm's debuffs being very useful because they were mostly general debuffs like reduced strength/defense. Nearly all bosses had vulnerability to some of your debuffs.

>defeat boss easily
>cutscene
>boss defeats you in cutscene

is the best way to do DOT effects on bosses just give them like %50 resistance to them?
or make them numerical instead of % based damage?

proportional proportion maybe
like say an attack does 1/10 health loss for 3 ticks on normal enemies, on a boss it does half that, so 1/20 health loss
...which I just realized is the same as what you said

>final boss with 36 phases
>boss is shit
>boss wasn't real final boss
>real final boss is shit
>game was shit

If %-damage doesn't work on bosses then it shouldn't be in the game in the first place.

>Game/MMO has a Crowd control type class
>Crowd control does nothing to bosses or in raids

>instant death spells miss more than they hit
>its one of the more expensive spells
>easier,cheaper, and more safe to just fight them regularly.

Is there any game that does instant death magic right?
