I do think that Square does a good job with their game mechanics, and new players do have an excellent lesson plan if they complete every dungeon/guildhest in sequence before moving onto the trials/raids. The difficulty progression is very steady, much moreso than WoW, where the difficulty sometimes varied heavily between encounters.

And no theres nothing 'new' in Turn 5, you can dissect the fight down to WoW mechanics if you wanted to.

:-\

I tried to do Guildhests the other day. No one follows the mechanics anyway. >.> They just brute force their way through. The NPC is yelling at you, "NO NO NO DO THIS" and people are just like, "herp derp, pew pew pew" and they win. I'm not sure anyone learns anything of value in those, tbh.

Yet those are basics which you should have already accustomed yourself with before even going into coil.
While silencing is not one such mechanic on many things outside of Coil. (Pre 2.1 Chimera comes to mind. I haven't fought him after yet) dodging is taught even at lower level.
(See red lines, step out)

The T1 ADS fight does not prepare you for anything other than those two mechanics which are pretty much the easiest parts of the entire fight.

No problem with the lazy players method. However it would be hilarious if they ninja patched it to go super nova. That would give me a good chuckle :)

Besides its a nice way or people who can't communicate to get this turn down.

It is as easy as people make it out to be all you have to do is LOL heal thru it. And what you said, it's a nice way for people who can't comunicate to get the turn down!? Sorry, if you can't communicate and coordinate in a raid you don't deserve to get it down.

If that happens, please send someone over to pick me up from the floor.
Anyone that does not expect this to be fixed deserves to be laughed at by, well, pretty much the entire planet.

lol the only problem I would have with it is that people who can't coordinate simple mechanics in turn 2 are now getting access to turn 4 to screw up the people on that one.

I'm laughing already, everyone would be like "what happened!?" ...everyone of course would be thinking it's the healers fault, and so they would try again, but wipe again and immediately start raging on healers...lol...

The reasons that people wipe on turn 4 can be boiled down to 3 things:
1. Tanks do not get aggro/keep aggro. Healers get chewed up. (Tank problem)
2. Things don't die fast enough. Group gets overwhelmed. (DPS problem)
3. Tanks died. (Healer problem)

Don't try to blame it on mechanics.
