What is Midcore? Why does it matter?

[Ririta]

Which coil fights were easier than current normals (T3 doesn’t count)

1 was around an easy extreme, 2 got gear cheesed but used to be around a mid extreme it only for allagen Rot and it’s tight enrage, 4 was kinda a joke, 5 was a full savage fight, 6 besides leaf storm being cheesed was a regular savage, 7 was evil, 8 was a normal savage, 9 was a difficult savage, 10 was very hard for a first turn savage, 11 was a normal savage, 12 was a control fight so something incredibly rare these days, 13 was a regular savage

I'd say First Coil Turn 1, Turn 2, Turn 4, Second Coil Turn 1 and Turn 2, Final Coil Turn 1. Iffy on Melusine and ADS but honestly, all it would take for a random DF group to kill them nowadays would be for somebody to speak up. All of those had fewer mechanics than today's normals. If people can dodge all the crap that Athena or Themis or that Vampire dude throws at them without getting hit once, they would totally silence ADS and pass Rot, spread out for Heat Lightning and then stack if they didn't get hit, kite an add into the boss, or step in thorns if they're marked.

I'm not snobbing on Coil, if anything I miss its innocence, but the game has evolved a lot. It doesn't looks like it because we've been doing this years, but the mere concept of Erichthonios doing a room wide cleave while you need to look for the color that he's shining and having to DPS all at once would've blown most old Coil raiders away I think. Like, we killed Rafflesia's bulbs because moving to a place that has no thorns was too gigabrain...

I'm just trying to explain why "everybody did Coil" like Lyth proposed. As somebody who was there, I felt like my experience could add some value to this topic. Honestly it's quite bizarre that you saw that as a complaint.
