Implementation of Alexander Gordias: Savage Adjustments

[CorbinDallas]

Server delay still makes the mechanics in A3S wonky as fuck. One run you can't pass digititis while both people are running through each other, you have to have one person stay still, but then the next it decides to do the complete opposite.

Don't even get started on drainage tethers. Our BLM had one, stood still and away from the puddle, and our PLD is stood in the tether for a whole second and it doesn't pass. BLM dies, we wipe because the add the BLM was killing got through.

Even when you're on top form server delay and rng still screw you.

(For context, my raid group is currently tackling phase 4)

This literally cannot be true.

English is so damn hard late at night, lmao. Fixed.

I am a bit worried about what will happen to A3S and A4S. I actually think new gear - echo is enough, but I was thinking about this for BcoB and ScoB and some turns were nerfed...
ANyway, at the moment no on knows, so impossible to answer OP's questions.

Binding coil didn't have any adjustments when the next raid tier came, only second coil. Needless to say the fights in second coil are completely different now than in 2.2. That said, there's already a story version, so there shouldn't be any need for players to actually complete it as it doesn't lock anything. As for echo, to this day there isn't echo in savage coil so I don't think there will be...

If A4S is required to get into A5S, there will be a nerf.

If A4S is required to get into A5S, there will be a nerf.

I honestly doubt that it will be as it was unlocked via the wandering minstrel. There wasn't a quest given to complete AS so there won't be an entry requirement. Also if you can't clear the previous floors overgeared then I'm not sure you will make much progress in the new tier anyway.

I'd say that's doubtful. It'll more likely be just a 'complete A8' requirement.

But there was a requirement to unlock Alexander savage which was complete heavensward and have beaten ultima EX so who knows, might be gated behind must've completed this or straight unlock

There was actually a quest associated with completing the mistrals ballad trial with ultimate weapon. There wasn't an outstanding quest that completed when you beat AS4. Furthermore, the requirement was not to complete heavensward, it was to complete the normal version. And it's likely to be exactly the same (including complete ultimate weapon).

There were adjustments. Don't remind everything, but stuff like High Voltage which stay for a shorter time and can be dispelled, for example.

[Kuwagami]

Nerfs brought to coil :
high voltage (T1-T2) lasts 8 seconds instead of 30 and can be dispelled
Conflags (T5) have less HP
Bouquet (T6) no longer kills you (damage nerfed from 14k to 4k or something)
Petrification (T7) lasts 10 seconds instead of 1 minute, and you no longer die instantly if you get hit in this state

Thses are the only nerfs I can remember on all coil.
IF AS ever get a nerf, the only one I could see besides echo would be a dapage nerf on digitis, maybe ? (I think that's the right ability. Been 3 month since I last entered AS3)
