leilaliebel8767: I literally had this same reaction. I didn't die the first time after I realized what was happening but I definitely yelled back "GIRLIEPOP THAT IS NOT WHAT WE SAY FOR THAT MECHANIC!"

vivian-alexandrarivers897: GOOD TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS A UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE!

zankumo: I did the same thing! I immediately thought it must be like a Blizzard mechanic, and I died horribly

scaper12123: “Blizzard mechanic! Got it!”

“What… does that mean-OH NO!”

JS-kr8fs: SE like, "I have changed how this common mechanic works. Pray I do not change it again."

SweetyMiki: Sphene would be a horrible raid caller. :V

Javontah: Am i the only one who actually kept moving in a a straight line? Lol. I see so many people saying they died to this.

Bikutolu: She's not wrong with the fact that you DO need to keep moving. But telling us WHEN we should be moving would have helped.

xapapetsugaming2311: YOU SAID KEEP MOVING NOT MOVE OUT OF IT!!!

Ninjax2000: The trick isn't to keep moving. The trick is picking the exact right time to move and knowing when the circle snapshots.

FallzVentus: I DID THE SAME THING

-.-6428: thank you very helpfull queen sphere of alexandria

kmeanxneth: i mean she's not wrong

1jidion: I’m like, oh, it’s gonna be the ice one where you have to keep moving

Clank_Bot: In Sphene's defense, she doesn't know about other raid mechanics, like Blizzard/motion

MissShar: My teammate ran ontop of me, killed me with it and got mad i died

chizik7777: i'm glad this was all of us

brachyzoid: The exact same thing happened to me. It would've been better had she not said anything at all lol

indiebee5668: heaven forbid the lightning doesnt work like the blizzard...

bloodyninja2411: I just played and didn’t die I guess some people are just built with different issues listening.

armadyleanarchon4754: Giant marker on the ground...

Boss fight...

NPC saying "Move your ass"

Conclusion: I should be anywhere but this spot. Seemed simple to me?

kuldana413: yes, confuse the scholar, that will keep you alive

3creps: Oh, motion, sure... Dammit sphene!

cameronmiyao2673: it shot one snap and I knew immediately it was an akh morn.

Jumf1: Better than the guy I saw a few weeks ago, who refused to move during that mechanic through the entire length of the fight

karuy988: Ah I didn't even notice this, had the game in japanese and was too tired to read the popup xd
