nerfing orbonne was hella unnecessary

the fight was not hard at all

No, but it's outdated content now, that means nerf it to the ground.

I am pretty glad, tho, that I managed to run it a few times while current. It's a very satisfyingly fun fight when you've got it down.

it's totally necessary, it's not enough until we reach crystal tower level difficulty.

And now the scales will tip!

Given how many people cite Orbonne in particular when they talk about why they gear to intentionally trick the roulette into putting them into the tower climb, are you really surprised?

That said I'm rather sad, gear levels and stats would have accomplished this by the next update anyways.

A shame, Orbonne was honestly my favorite 24 man, Cid felt really cool to down with your group specifically because of how punishing mistakes were, but now its just going to be another zergfest with no real effort necessary anymore, not even echo was enough apparently, have to remove the need to do any sort of mechanics properly, its LotA all over again.

Looks like they even nerfed Red Chocobo Savage. Such a shame, that was an unintentionally hilarious and fun part of the questline. So many AoEs, so many deaths, it was beautiful T^T

Let's take a quote from Thunder God Cid's Crush Weapon move:

"Honed is the blade that severs the villain's head. Endless is the path that leads him from hell."

It seems The Thunder God is now on the receiving end of this quote.

On a serious and gameplay note, even after the nerfs to T.G. Cid specified in the patch, players still get knocked out by all of his other moves, especially the move that has this following quote:

"They who dwell aloft have spoken. Let their words echo in your empty soul. Ruination is come!"

This makes me so sad. They should of just put harsher gear requirements to those that did roulettes. Instead they are gratifying the whiners.

no it wouldnt. orbonne is level 70 so its permanently locked at the max ilvl for level 70 (all alliance raids work this way). you cant queue into orbonne and be stronger than ilvl 400
