    If you're still having trouble with the T5 mechanics, in full i90+, with a flat-rate 15% boost to HP/cures/damage from echo, you're going to have some pretty big headaches with T6.

    That said, I don't understand why they made the echo a free boost on old coil, while everywhere else does the "when you fail" routine.

    I do fine in t5. It's lack of a static even within the FC and lack of awareness that get us everytime. Right now, we are up to the dreadknights and others die from the twisters while dpsing the knight. The buff would be nice so we can blow through the snakes faster to practice that phase more. I'm proud of the progress we've made for a non-hardcore FC but this turn 5 things is a personal thorn in my side. Death to the Dragon!

    Better fix it before moving on. If you can't dps dreadknight while dodging twister, you'll have a bad time dpsing bulb while breaking vines in t6 or dpsing add while not stoning other people in t7. Make twister absolutely highest priorities. If you get hit by dreadknight, only 1 person will die. If you get hit by twister, you will die and most likely people around you will die. Even though your FC is non-hardcore, people should still learn to practice their rotations.

    While going from 15-20 % will get you marginally more practice time. I don't really see an extra 5% buff drastically reducing that thorn in your side. Probably the best advice you could give your team is to focus target twin and move that focus icon next to the middle of their screen so they can see it easily while dpsing. If they are having trouble handling two mechanics at once, the group isn't ready for SCOB.

    well party finder t5 is terrible atlest on my server, and alot of toxic people who think a pure pug group will 1 shot this fight.
    even echo 20% half the server wont see t6 for long long time.

    Snake phase is a fixed duration, unless you're unable to kill big snake before Twintania appears for Aetheric Profusion for whatever reason. 5% more damage won't change that problem though, unless you're struggling to clear second phase within 3 conflags also, in which case there's a real DPS issue.

    As for lack of awareness, make the folks who can't notice Twister coming to make their focus-target as large as it can get, and place it near the center of their screen. If they can't tell on their own when a boss is using a certain attack, you're going to have even more head-aches with T6 swallow-targets, and T7 voices.

    That's PF in general. If a fight involves more than two mechanics, and it's a complete PF group rather than partial static of folks who know what they're doing, then good luck!

    makes it more consistent. some groups have a little trouble figuring out how to burn the snakes down without screwing over their tanks/melee dps.
