Take it easy on the Nerfing :/

[DracotheDragon]

Personally I'm okay with them nerfing content if it is needed to progress the main story, such as with Steps of Faith. Non required content such as the Coils, EX Primals and CT should not be nerfed ever in my mind.

the thing is did it need a nerf a slight nerf to visap hp ok but look at the mechanics

The boss has a lot of HP answer - cannons
Lots of adds - cannons
Dps is to low- CANNONS (and dragon killers)

i went into a lot of SoF just to help people and once they wiped once and know what to do with the cannons and towers they won, it wasn't due to bad dps or being over whelmed by adds it was learning the mechanics and thats why i think a lot of people are annoyed with SE because a mechanic driven fight can now be ignored if you dps the boss hard enough :/

Nerfing old content is good (2-3 main patches old).
nerfing actual content before the next main patch is sad.

Lets not forget this is the 'FINAL BOSS' of FFXIV 2.x, and there is currently no content after him, so nerving him -now- seems fruitless. :c

What people fail to realize is that SE has logs from JP NA and EU for every trial, duty, dungeon and raid and nerf content according to what the numbers say.
If they overture an instance and the numbers say it's over tuned it will be nerfed regardless of how long it's been out.

this is true in most aspects but for the SoF i beleave they made it nerved for the smallest 'wont even try' groups so 'everyone' can get into heavenward,, they wouldn't of released the fight to begin with if they didn't think the masses would win.
