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

[Noctrin]

Tried it today with my group, with 2 well geared healers it's very hard to do. Both of us went oom at like 10-20% hp. With a 3rd healer it should be cake, but we honestly found it more convenient and fun to do it the right way, waiting around for 7-8 min for clicks to reach 1 also sucked.

We also had 1 of our dps derp and die right as we pulled, so.. err, the might factor in lol. I think it's doable with 2 healers too. Just didn't bother trying anymore due to the long wait.

Seems less stressful than wiping due to people not getting out of AoE, High Voltage going thru or tanks letting the stacks go to over 8 and then being blamed for "not healing enough".

This strat allowed us to include PS3 players, players with no voice chat

lol

More experienced groups may lean more forward ti taking it out the 'standard' way, though this one may be more forgiving to newer groups that find themselves wiping a few times. Of course, haven't sufficient-level gear's also a key factor.

This strat allowed us to include PS3 players, players with no voice chat, and players that are coil beginners into our group(s), its not as easy as it sounds, you can run out of MP and get killed if your healers/DPS aren't good enough.

I'm 100% OK with that.

So it doesn't go super nova?! This makes me sad

I play PS3 with no Vc, and I get to turn 5 every week with my static. We kill ADS the normal way to. Pass that rot

If you have beaten turn 2 with the "normal" mechanics then id use this new way of beating it every time. I've dealt with rot AND tank swapping, its not a tough fight, just takes coordination. This new way of doing things make it so if I do PUG the turn, its actually possible with less competent players.

This video was from the healer's perspective (big shoutout to Koeta for recording, my capture card died mid-record) .[...]

None else bothered by this? I can see a blm playing.

If you're beating the fight without dealing any of its mechanics (other than the enrage AoE and 3 standard moves for the first 1 minute), everyone standing still and just hitting their rotations, I would consider this to be not working as intended.

I also think the rage should really mean rage and the AoE should at least hit harder every time, or just one-shot the whole group.

Not an exploit.

Just another way to do it. Not everyone can heal through that, they have to be geared and the dps too.

I don't think there is anything wrong with doing that at all.

To those that do think it is an exploit are talking out of their back side.

If SE decide to change something that is up to them but certainly will not get anyone banned for using a mechanic in a different way than the rest.
