Turn 2 "easy mode", disables every mechanic in the fight

[Loxley]

If my memory serves correct from reading the reddit topic last week, you have to be pretty well geared to pull this off and gives the healers work to do anyway so it's not like you walk in with a bunch of new people, lolfaceroll, pass go and collect loot. Besides, why make the fight longer than it actually takes unless your raid group wants to do it to spice things up. Mechanics aren't even hard after getting used to the fight after a week of practice max, but like I mentioned this is a strat that includes being geared so the whole we're all bad at mechanics so let's avoid the mechanics sort of cancels that out. Not saying that Enrage being "ezmode" is intended, but it doesn't make the fight an exploit.

Edit: The music in that video is decent. What is it?

you still have to dodge stuff for the first 25% of its life before enrage, i guess its easy with the removal of rot but in exchange you need more healing power for the AoEs. Don't think it's an exploit, if SE feels that it's unintended they can always increase the enrage dmg so that it's not curable.

Like people said, ADS isn't even hard to kill the normal way.

Find something similar for Ms. Twintania and you'll catch more people's attention.

You can sit there and wait, and then do it "easy mode", or

wait for it...

wait for it....!

Just uh, you know. Kill it normally? It's not a hard fight.

This is why if it gets nerfed I'll be pretty mad.

Yes, it's easier this way but you're also spending a bunch of time waiting around for the timer to go down so there's really nothing beneficial to those who already down ADS easily the normal way.

Uh... hello? Of COURSE it's an exploit! Compare it to the normal fight. Notice how the normal fight is hard-ish while this not hard at all? Coil is supposed to be the hardest content with complex mechanics, while this is easy peasy with 0 effort from the dps required. If you're just mashing your attack buttons until the boss falls then it's clearly "not working as intended."

I expect them to patch this quickly so that when ADS enrages he actually enrages. Until then, I'll enjoy the easy farming while I can. Of course, I might have enjoyed it a bit longer if the OP didn't just make it public to the ARR team. GOOD JOB! *two sarcastic thumbs up*

can we get an offical comment on this??! i dont wanna do it if it get my legacy account ban

not worth the ban

I did it yesterday. It is pretty taxing on the healers. And they are are pretty geared.

It is a dps race. The only way to win is you have enough hp and dps and mp. Yes, it is much simplier. Easier? Yes, since we don't have to deal with rot. But you better have good healers and dps.

This is a clever application of mechanics, not a glitch or bug, and it's also an unconventional party setup. I think they will let this stand.

If you can survive the "range mode" then power to you. That's not an exploit, you're not going to get banned, relax.

I'm sure the collective groups of pugs repeatedly failing T2 for hours on end would disagree. My friend pugged a group, and had teams of all sorts of players, ranging from unable to silence ADS, to not looking out for rot timer, to tanks forgetting to swap.

If you have a static, you clear it easy anyway (after a week or so of smashing heads against the ADS). But if you're pugging this method seems like it's the most pug friendly. Plus you won't have to spend time looking for that "optimal" 2 PLD/2 BRD/1 BLM or SMN/1 MNK or DRG/1 WHM/1 SCH party - you could just take 4 melees and go home (based on the fact that melees are probably the most common DPS classes that cannot get a Coil static - on my server, I see more DRG/MNK shouting for Coil pug parties than any of the other DPS classes). Said friend of mine spent an entire weekend trying to down Turn 2 with pugs to no avail, but cleared it in one shot using this method with pugs.

This is not an exploit. You're not taking advantage of any "bug" or "glitch" here to cause the mob to freeze up or anything like that. The mob is behaving as it was designed.

I see this as similar to tanking Chimera on the top of the hilltop by those trees to basically take Dragon's Voice out of the equation and making that fight easy-mode. Not an exploit and they haven't "patched" that either.
