I remember stepping into FCOB week 1. I remember the first time we cleared T10, we started making jokes about how SE would nerf the turn. For fun, how would you change the fights if you were nerfing them? :p
I.e.
t10
Heat lightning no longer applies vulnerability!
Adds no longer tether
Wild charge can be soaked with any class without CD
Heat lightning now increases damage dealt rather than inflicting vulnerability
Nerf a FCOB fight!

You had to remind me... This makes me sad that this isn't even a joke thread and that SE will be nerfing it once the lockout is removed and it is put into DF you can expect the complaints to roll in about how difficult it is and lo and behold ez mode.

If they were to nerf all adds in FcoB, each turn would become significantly easier. Only real exception would be t13, as dealing with Flatten/Flares/Ahk Morn is still a tight heal and tank check.
Edit: But to be specific
T10) Adds no longer get tethered for being too close, so now you can AoE zerg them.
T11) Adds no longer tether, damage mitigation removed. Tethers don't instantly kill your partner.
T12) Bennus deal less damage, Rebirth does less damage.
T13) reduce hp on all adds... not much else you can do outside lower Bahamut's damage. -
03-23-2015, 09:43 PMEidolonIt kinda was meant as a lighthearted set of jokes /nerfs. :p I mean, may as well poke fun at the inevitableQuote:

They never nerf the last turn of any coil except for echo but I can see them at lest nerfing the health of the adds in T12 but please keep it that they need to be spread out.

03-23-2015, 09:46 PMEidolonT5 they reduced conflagration and dread HP iirc.Quote:

QQ... Meanwhile I still haven't cleared T9...
-
03-23-2015, 09:49 PMdragonflieI do believe they mentionned that there will be no echo boost right as the lockout is removed, maybe at a later time, but not in this next patch.Quote:

T10: Ninjas can sneak past Imdugud, heading straight to the loot.
T11: Tank Tethers all day long
T12: Phoenix loses stacks every time someone dies
T13: Bahamut sits in the middle of the room doing nothing for 14 mins, then uses Giga Flare enrage. -

Going for realistic options.
T10:
- Damage dealt by Wild Charge has been reduced
- Vulnerability Up's potency has been reduced
- Damage dealt by Cyclonic Chaos has been reduced
Keeping the add tethering as is, SE is not going to remove the remaining mechanic that prevents solo tanking.
T11:
- Damage dealt by Repelling Cannons has been reduced
- Damage dealt by Nanospore Cloud has been reduced
- The rate at which Aetherochemical Nanospores α and β apply stacks of Vulnerability Up when near to the opposite effect has been reduced
- Forked Lightning deals less damage and the effect of Paralysis has been changed to only last 10 seconds and can be removed
- Damage dealt by Nerve Cloud has been reduced
T12:
- Blackfires no longer apply stacks of Vulnerability Up on contact or when too close to each other
- Damage dealt on passing Arm of Purgatory or Chain of Purgatory has been reduced
- Damage dealt by Flames of Unforgiveness has been reduced
- The potency of damage over time inflicted by Redfire has been reduced
- Reviving Bennus will no longer grant the effect of HP Boost to nearby Bennus
- Damage dealt by Cloak of Death has been reduced -
03-23-2015, 10:17 PMsiverstormThere's a certain subset of the playerbase who will take this specific topic too seriously. Plus it's possible they could either ninja-nerf or leave them be when they go in DF who knows.Quote:

T13, Bahamut gets a permanent dragon kick debuff with no monk present (technically if someone DCs on the pull and everyone else dies Bahamut literally does sit in the middle of the room pretending to cast things for 14 minutes :P). -
03-23-2015, 10:25 PMEidolonNoted, Lol. As a raider myself I can't help but poke fun at how SE will nerf it. :3Quote:

T10:
*No electric field on the floor
*Sons and Daughters paw Imdugud while he's charging up because they're hungry and daddy's just sitting there being lazy
*Wild Charge damages the boss with severe Recoil (Pokémon)
*Tether + Charge possibility removed
T11:
*Lightning up a Fire spell during Gas causes him to explode.
T12:
*Only 1 Bennu spawns in the whole fight
*Only 1 plume and tethered Egi appear each time
*Placing all 3 Blackfires in a perfect tethered triangle unlocks a hidden Half Life 3 trailer courtesy of Louisoix
*The Fountain doesn't tether and buff Phoenix, but instead puts on creative and colourful displays of erupting fire for your entertainment while taking 1k damage Revelations.
T13:
*100% echo, and a picnic blanket with tea and muffins appears in the middle before Teraflare -
03-23-2015, 10:39 PMSove92It's a bug affecting every boss fight that doesn't have the 15s area lockdown, meaning most trials, T9, T12 and T13. It happens when someone disconnects pre-wipe and the next wipe happens before the DC'd person has been booted off the server, in which case the boss keeps looping the script until the DC'd person is booted off the server, at which point the fight resets.Quote:

03-23-2015, 11:23 PMSeifI haven't cleared t8 yet and NO ONE is doing it anymore?!Quote:

Please add Triple Triad cards or crafting mats to these fights (also mog ex!) so that people won't ignore these awesome challenges in favor of completely mindless grind like haukke manor that we all have done at least 40 times by now. -

t10: The damage from the lightning field will be decreased.
Wild charge will deal less damage, making it so you don't need a tank to take the hit
t11: Reduced damage on nerve gas, no vulnerability
Egg node no longer moves
Reduced damage from repelling cannons
reduced damage from tethers
t12: Haven't actually done this one yet ;_;
t13: Won't get nerfed. Pattern recognition: Other than echo they have NOT nerfed the final phase in BCOB or SCOB beyond bug fixes. Thus, t13 will not be nerfed.
Mog EX does have triple triad cards...the same as HM >_>Quote:

03-23-2015, 11:30 PMSkeith-AdelineThere is no point to queue T8 anymore. Casting Glamour only. The fight was the easiest pre-nerf, so like... there is absolutely 0 challenge in it. As for nerfing Final Coil...Quote:
