I've talked to a lot of people recently about CT being i80 and whether or not it was going to damage end-game, and at the time I hadn't touched Binding Coil yet. It was a speculative concern. Now, a week later, without full Darklight, I've cleared Turn 4. Carried or not, as a undergeared broken main-tank class I'm at the final encounter of the game, and it has all been extremely fun and well tuned, but not difficult. Most of the fights are memorization and I wasn't even required to buy any HQ food to tank this stuff. I can't imagine how they thought you'd need another tier to prepare for this, Paladins are broken, whatever, that's a mistake and you can fix it next tier.

I really like this game's content, pacing, boss mechanics, ect - the primals were great, Coil is a good starting point, but it is' about equivalent to Zul'Gurub in vanilla WoW.

Then again, tons of people are still unable to pass Garuda / Titan, so I guess I don't really know how deep down the bottom of the barrel really is.
