Endwalker: An opportunity to rebalance old fights?

[Elkanah]

Which Thordan? Extreme or normal?

Normals are not meant to be hard anyway, but I agree that they should balance Extreme and Savage when on Minimum IL No Echo.

Especially ARR, because this is not balanced the way it used to be. Titan Unreal was harder than Titan Extreme because Titan Extreme didn't last as long with all the changes, like potency buffs, replacing Accuracy with Direct Hit, replacing Parry with Tenacity which increases damage and things like that.

You can out-balance old content with level 80 food that gives you a lot more vitality and substats and damage potions that last for 30 seconds instead of 15.

Let's be real-- the ONLY reason Titan (Hard) and (Extreme) were even REMOTELY difficult wasn't because of the dps checks or dps in general. It was because that fight had SO MUCH lag that dodging a stack of plume puddles or the three way landslide was near impossible. Definitely should bring that back for the challenge. XD

I didn't have much issue with that. I think people also didn't understand how damage checks were applied either.


This was the beginning of "cast bar matters" for dodging mechanics, and people tended to go off animations, as well as it being still early 2.0, when people were all still noobs.

Aether DC had tons of issues with Titan hard and extreme afaik. Everyone read their tool tips back then (unlike most people not doing so now days). But that lag in titan was brutal af

I was on aether. On Balmung in fact. I never really had lag issues in titan hard, and I did all of my relics lol.

Might've been different on Gilgamesh then. Cause I recall a lot of folks stopping the relic because of the lag killing vs plumes, and EXTREME being nearly impossible due to that same lag

Yeah, no issues when I did it. And I did it as a squishy, 4600hp PLD. (for hard mode).

EX really wasn't much worse. I died more to misjudging the hit box of the 5-way landslides than I did to any kind of lag.
