Any plans or discussions about getting Phase Displacers for Unity Wanted Battles?
A side question: Does anyone fight Tumult Curator often? Any tips?
This or something really dumb that does the same thing basically will happen, it's not quite old enough yet though.

You can solo most 119 Unity and honestly, I don't see a reason for nerfing the 120+.

To be honest, I find rather difficult to get ppl to higher tier NMs. Been trying for a while to get folks interested in Tumult Curator. I don't know its because they dont have access or just intimidated. Also the same reaction I get when doing certain Escha-Ru'Aun NMs (i.e. Warder of Courage). Not asking for a nerf but something bring them down a notch or maybe introduce temp items like they did for VWs and Escha areas.

I understand and sympathize with you plea if you are on a low-populated server, however I really feel asking the 140 Enemies to be made sorta defeat their purpose: This is a MMORPG, you should do it with people, not alone.
And more importantly, several items they drop are among the best in the game, 90% of the game is already soloable/easier, I think it's fine to leave few enemies unapproachable unless you are in a solid group.
You can already solo with trusts several escha T1, most wardens and UNM up to 119 after all.

The problem is the gear ladder is pretty broken. Ambuscade could help if they made it a bit easier to get +1s but overall most of the gear from it isn't better than [A] skirmish gear. Frankly, almost nothing that's easier to get is better than properly augmented [a] skirmish gear... but [a] skirmish gear is not good enough to do content over 119. There is just no good path for people with lower tier 119 gear to work up to 124 content. That's the issue.
I'd love to play with others more, but the people only want to do the absolute hardest mode. Like, good luck getting folks to do difficult ambuscade instead of very difficult, for example. Same with hard mode BCNMs.
I don't feel like I am geared enough to contribute to that sort of thing so I end up soloing, not because I only like soloing, but because I can't get over the gear gap between 119 and 124 solo.
I am not sure what the solution is. On the bright side there is still a lot of gear etc I can aim for that I am able to solo, so, for the time being I'll keep working on that.

True, true, I agree with you.

I understand where you and Jin_Uzuki are coming from. So, if SE can come with a better solution to maybe adjust some of the NMs behavior on certain content, we could probably get a better turnout for people to try at fighting these NMs (or BCNM/Ambuscade) and having a shot at better gear.
Based on Freshly Picked, it looks like we will be able to +2/+3 our artifacts. So maybe that will lead us in a better direction in terms of durability & utility (and not just a bunch of stat vomit) and getting more folks putting their reforged gear to the test against some of the toughest NMs (i.e. Tumult Curator)
