So Second Coil has been destroyed

[Dashuto]

I wonder how many of the angry people in this thread are actually just run sellers, upset that they can only sell Final Coil now.

The OP's whining aside, I like how the ilevel requirements are overshooting what you actually need for once: it was really rare for someone to be i105 when people were first clearing t9.

I'm confident that I'd still be able to sell t9, DF still can't do t5 most of them time lmao.

Also, I don't see anything indicating the mechanics can be 'ignored', only that their punishment damage has been reduced from 'instant death' to what is likely 'severe'.

At least you don't need to worry about getting rid of honeys in T6 now as they won't lead to bees spawning in last phase.

I feel sorry for one of our Coil teams that got T8 to 5% last night and is going to clear it on Thursday. They have been working on it for a long time now and were so close to beating it, and now they'll have to settle for the nerfed version. At least the only nerf in T9 is the echo.

Edit: Ironically, I'm also not sure if all the group members will be able to enter these last turns now in their current gear.

If ppl already beaten 2nd coil why complain that the mechanics you like isn't there? Why do ppl do that?

You kinda answered the question already. I'm just sad because I can't really see the mechanic anymore. Missed out for taking too long :/

If players can't clear SCoB they won't clear FCoB anyways, why move players into content they have no business being in?

I'm pretty sure this is why Turn 9 was not nerfed, actually, beside the slight echo bonus. Which is actually something I'm fine with. That's the one that actually locks Final Coil progression, and it's still going to be hell. There's also Savage Coil still, which yeah, I'm really glad has been completely untouched because I can still get the Crazy Batshit Version of the fights if I want. (Which I do)

Either way it remains to be seen exactly how deadly these mechanics remain (10 seconds of the entire party stunned due to Cursed Shriek, while not an instant wipe anymore, is still probably going to hurt like a bitch, and I fully expect that while Blighted Boquet won't one-shot you, it might still do so if you're not sitting at max HP or really close to it.)

Run selling is a real thing. It's broadcasted every day/night on twitch.tv. People from my server are broadcasting it, everyday, making serious bank off of it.

Besides, SE are the ones who can see the number of people clearing second coil.
They nerfed it, then obviously the numbers were low, maybe even more so on the console end of things.

This will help more of the community, and you've got savage, like everyone else has been saying all along...

nothing and cry, nerfing was no surprise, and there are still a challenge in the second coil it has been out for awile.
There are not many people who have downed Second Coil of Bahamut (Savage) t8 and t9 yet and T9 normal is difficult still.

This isn't a matter of prestige for me. I'm really upset they took one of the best designed fights in any MMORPG I've played and butchered it (T7). I'll never get to experience the original again.

The requirements were a bit high, a tank with full 110 on the left side and pentamelded ruby accessories on the right side will not meet the minimum requirements for T9.


With the nerfs the hardest part of each turn will probably be getting through the trash.
