20% Coil Buff Not Being Implemented???

In regards to 1st coil turns 1-5 (5 specifically):
I haven't heard any word on this next phase of the buff. Did I miss any announcement on this?

According to SE's own imposed schedule (found in 2.25 patch notes) the 20% buff should have been in effect last week.

Not only did we not get the buff, but we didn't get any word from SE either. If they aren't going to do it....fine. But at least let us know. My FC is pretty close to beating it for the first time and while we don't NEED the extra buff it would help. I don't want to get any father behind on content :3 and that new coil gear is sexy. Would be nice to finally get into second coil for the first time...

It's likely it got delayed by a week due to Golden Week in japan and will probably be this week instead.
I don't see it as too big of a deal at least when it comes to T1, T2 and T4.

I thought it was odd too that there's been no word on it though, and if they plan to delay it until 2.28 (end of may), they really should say something.

Yep, it's the lack of annoucement or word on it that bothers me the most. Just want to know either way.

For 1-5, or 6-9? 1-4 is cake with echo, almost all mechanics can be ignored because of it

It's really only T5 that more echo applies to at this point.

If you're still having trouble with the T5 mechanics, in full i90+, with a flat-rate 15% boost to HP/cures/damage from echo, you're going to have some pretty big headaches with T6.

That said, I don't understand why they made the echo a free boost on old coil, while everywhere else does the "when you fail" routine.

I do fine in t5. It's lack of a static even within the FC and lack of awareness that get us everytime. Right now, we are up to the dreadknights and others die from the twisters while dpsing the knight. The buff would be nice so we can blow through the snakes faster to practice that phase more. I'm proud of the progress we've made for a non-hardcore FC but this turn 5 things is a personal thorn in my side. Death to the Dragon!

well party finder t5 is terrible atlest on my server, and alot of toxic people who think a pure pug group will 1 shot this fight.
even echo 20% half the server wont see t6 for long long time.

Better fix it before moving on. If you can't dps dreadknight while dodging twister, you'll have a bad time dpsing bulb while breaking vines in t6 or dpsing add while not stoning other people in t7. Make twister absolutely highest priorities. If you get hit by dreadknight, only 1 person will die. If you get hit by twister, you will die and most likely people around you will die. Even though your FC is non-hardcore, people should still learn to practice their rotations.

While going from 15-20 % will get you marginally more practice time. I don't really see an extra 5% buff drastically reducing that thorn in your side. Probably the best advice you could give your team is to focus target twin and move that focus icon next to the middle of their screen so they can see it easily while dpsing. If they are having trouble handling two mechanics at once, the group isn't ready for SCOB.
