One more thing not in the video: AOEs traveling across the ground in a straight line instead of chasing a player are usually refered to as "Exaflares". They are usually indicated by a regular yellow AOE circle having a arrow ontop of it indicating which direction the AOE will move in.

There's also what I call the "merry-go-round." These are usually found in the Dalmascyn raids aka Lighthouse, Monastery, and That one other one that's pretty boring. Those are attacks that start off doing ONE direction, but will then change direction, sometimes in a circle, sometimes in a line. Lighthouse is a good example with your Third Grade Math teacher, as he will drop a cone AoE that will target the north corner of the arena and quickly rotate the arena, then once again when he goes into 'Demolish' state, upon which you will need to avoid this but with the addition of needing to have sprint up or movement options to avoid biting the dust.

Other additions: Continual-hit stacks, AKA Akh Morn stacks, where you have to remain stacked for several hits of the attack and if the person with the marker dies it will jump around to other players until the attack ends or you wipe. Blizzards: Opposite of pyretics, where if you're NOT moving when the attack goes out you're frozen for several seconds (you do have to be moving, just attacking won't work :( ask how I know). The Ozma variation of the Dice, where for whatever reason you get the pyretic effect for the 3 seconds during the dice's countdown and on the execution of the dice it explodes causing bleed to everyone around you, because Ozma's a jerk and needs to feel special. Sweep The Leg, any 270-degree front attack leaving a small safe cone behind the enemy. Magnet Tethers, where two things (such as players or AOEs) are tethered together with big + or - signs; they work like magnets (if the symbols are different, they're yanked together; if they're the same, they're blasted apart). New addition as of 6.0: Tank stack, a combination tank buster/stack where at least 2 tanks have to eat a buster together, indicated by a red circle around one tank with two orbiting red orbs. Do not try to stack in this if you're not a tank or you'll be sad.

I dunno what people call it, but another reused mechanic is what I call "swords", first seen in the Ravana fight as Swift Slaughter. Where some players are marked with different numbers of blue swords above their head which indicate that the boss is going to attack them in that order, usually by charging/jumping at them in a line. There's also the similar "numbers" where players get marked with blue or red dots above their head, which also indicate the order of targeting. There's also one that sometimes shows up in alliance raids, where some players get a red triangle marker on their head, which just means stack with at least one other person with the marker.

Another common variant of the tether is the Magnetic Tether. The tethered players will have a polarity that changes the way they'll interact with each other. Similar polarities repel away, opposite polarities attract. Usually, when it's an opposite polarity mechanic, the players will receive damage and a debuff if they get pulled close enough to touch each other. This first appeared on Living Liquid in Alexander. Another that pops up occasionally is the "vital hit box" as I usually call it. Three out of four of the quadrants of your hitbox are marked with a crackling yellow indicator while one quadrant remains normal (front, back, left, right). The boss will use a targeted ability that will kill you if the side facing him is vulnerable to the vital hit. This first appeared in Orbonne Monastery's first boss. The "Numbering System" also keeps popping up lately. Each player has a certain number of dots above their head, indicating which order they'll be targeted in. Sometimes this can also appear in the form of swords. This mechanic made its debut with Ravana but became more popular with Cruise Chaser in Alexander (and now Diamond Weapon Extreme).

Another mechanic not pointed out here is the blue puddle-like knockback marker such as in Sephirot and Titania. Staying in the blue puddle deals massive damage, while staying out of it knocks you back, usually shows up in fights where you can fall off the arena. Although not really a marked mechanic, there's also what some people call Akh Morn, a stack marker AoE that hits multiple times so everyone needs to stay inside for the full duration. Although it's recurring it's not always called Akh Morn so some people might be confused when hearing the term.

Very good job there, it looks like you really dig into it by going to old fights desync just to record them, that's dedication. Some other ones I can think about and you forgot to mention are: "Divebombs", green or orange circles over a players head that needs to baited away and when it disappears run back to the party (since Twintania in T5 and then most fights that have a big Dragon usually, UCOB being divebombs paradise). "Puddles/Pools" to remove a debuff (to remove dooms from Nael at T9 and UCOB, Etc.) or transform your self into something to avoid damage or status effects (Antitower's last boss until Dalriada's second boss, some other in-between) or soak other mechanic (since Twintania's neurolinks T5/UCOB or water puddles at Syrcus Tower first boss Scylla to decrease damage from Ancient Flare). "Bleed/poison/electricity bubbles (or just bubbles?)" that targets a player and that person needs to place them away from everyone because they begin to grow and if you step into them, they give you a nasty bleed or other debuff (Sephiroth, Thunder God, Sit of Sacrifice, etc.). "Liquid Hells", small single orange icon over the head of a character that need to be place away and always left behind a puddle of fire (since Twintania T5 until second boss at The Puppet's Bunker and many other fights in-between). One that is new but is already been used in other fight is "Ferrostorm" from Ifrit in Eden's Verse Furor, 2 to 3 big horns that come out from the ground around the boss that shoots a cone attack from each of the horns, It is also in the fight against the Queen's Knight at Delubrum Reginae Savage, the mechanic name is "Optimal Play" but since it has the same horns as "Ferrostorm" is now the standard name. Also, "Donut AOE" is called "Lunar Dynamo" by many old players since Nael (T9). Thanks for the video.

Something with Glare/Gaze attacks: If you have an AoE attached to the Glare/Gaze you can avoid it in two ways. 1) Get out of the AoE. Then it doesn't matter if you're looking at the caster or not, you won't be affected 2) You can stay in the AoE, but turn away from the caster and you won't be affected. I've had a few novice healers Rescue me out of Gaze/Glare attacks with AoEs because I didn't get out of the AoE even though I had turned around and was safe.

Those are waymarks, they usually get used in endgame fights. We place them down to help the party so we can be like “for this part of the fight go to A if it’s red” ect. Also sometimes it just helps you find where north is if you get lost.

@@DeviHyuga we can also place other waymarks on people like a triangle (dorito) to indicate following and stacking on them for safety or marking an experienced player who knows where to stand for newbies to be with. Letters on a person to assign group seperation mid fight or an X as a warning to give someone with a dangerous mechanic assigment a wide berth.

To add some clarity, the video describes the indicator as “a triangle”, but this mechanic is three arrows pointing away from the player you need to avoid - essentially a visual opposite to the Stack Together indicator.

Hello, I was wondering, when fighting diablos, there is a stack mark with a red eye, how to avoid this attack?
@VicWrightFFXIV

So there’s a mechanic I’ve accidentally left out of the video where the eye marker appears above a player and to solve it everyone looks away from the player. In this fight you have to stack in with them but not look at them. So just turning to look out of the edge of the aoe you’re at should do the trick.

Hey, the video was a bit too fast for me to follow, and I'm still having a hard time understanding it as a beginner. Sometimes I wasn't even sure what you were talking about, so maybe adding some still photos could help newbies like me tell the difference.
