Turn 5 Downed by JP Group? Exploits or Legit?

[Alkimi]

Many people I know flat out have no motivation to run coil past turn 4, which is probably the opposite effect SE intended

I think you can count most groups who have cleared 1-4 into that category. If even one group had beaten it legitimately then there would be a lot more motivation for others to try, but if the best players in the world are still wiping after 800 attempts then what's the point?

My group only plays around 3 hours a night, 4 days a week so the chances of us beating it are virtually nil.

The way I see it though, even wiping that many times, you will have gotten everything to that point down pat. I see this as a perfectly good reason for new groups to run it past this point, yes you will be constantly wiping, but at least then you know the majority of the fight and will be able to complete that much easier when the bug is fixed, and if for some reason it's not a bug, you'll still be that much more ahead of the game when the encounter does end of being beaten.
