Lord of the Whorl - Primal Battle Preview (02/28/2014)

Should go like:

"Know the fight, iLvL90+ onry, will queue Coil T9.. don't bother if you have not won"...

Lol, I had the exact same thoughts. Would be fun to write that just to troll on day 1 of the patch. I'm mostly looking forward to the new storylines and the actual battles. Makes me wonder what kind of "wtf?!" surprises are to expected from the battle.

On another note, I hope that the storyline leviathan can be compared to a primal hard mode in terms of difficulty. I don't want to breeze though the storyline this time.

Nah, they stated anything storyline related will be easy in order to not prevent players from progressing. It's why they nerfed Moogle fight long before 2.2.

Casual friendly main story content (I don't mean that negatively). Coil (and Ex primals) is for the hard "lore" ^^

Though I do wonder if what we're getting from Coil/Ex/CT will be back-story for a major expansion (or even for future 2.X releases)..

Other than that, this fight looks sweet, can't wait to give it a roll.

For some reason, I expect this fight to be like fighting Plesioth in Monster Hunter. Water lazers and hip checks of doom.

I think he will have "Water Jails" and since the "Fighting Zone" also changes, it will be really interesting..

The shield looks cool.

[Nekome-sensei]

They show scepter AND shield, so they drop in pair or so ?

[whiskeybravo]

This looks like there could be bubbles that trap someone o_O

That's what Leviathan normal mode is for.

I want that axe... I just hope I'll have access to levi ex without having to pass titan EX.. Just impossible for me atm

Leviathan EX will most likely requires you to beat the first 3 EX just like to attempt Titan, you had to beat Garuda, etc.

My guess, coming from previous encounters from the game, is that it's either a trap bubble (like in Brayflox), a Bomb-like bubble, or a shield. I can't wait to fight my favorite Primal <3 think of all the possibilities!
