    Difference in damage in Coil T2 ADS?

    Have a group that reg gets to T4 without too much fuss, and we noticed this week that on the final boss of T2, if the tanks get up to the 4th stack of debuff before the hate trade, they can easily be one shot, even with a cooldown up. This was definitely not the case before, but after several attempts we really felt like something was up. Anyone else noticed any sort of difference in ADS this week that felt off?

    We just engage him with 30 seconds left and kill him while enraged, healing thru it. He does none of his moves and you just all stand there killing him. Easy prey.

    Does not answer the OP's question at all. Not everyone likes to waste 8 minutes standing around when there already capable of killing it in 2-3.

    On Topic: We ran ADS with 1 PLD and 1 WAR this week. The WAR is iLv84 and died a couple times during the same pull, but we just chalked that up to not knowing how to use his new tools. PLD seemed fine though.

    Ran this last night with PLD and WAR. Both tanks had 5 or 6 stacks a couple of times during our 5 or so attempts. Never caused a wipe once as we were always able to survive and swap before anyone went down. I'd look at your healers.

    I got up to 6 stacks on ADS this week on accident and still lived so I don't think they have changed turn 2 at all. If your tank was a PLD, there seems to be an unconfirmed bug going around where shield oath doesn't apply correctly. Some of us have noticed we need to turn it off and back on when changing instances. He may not have been receiving the 20% DR.

    I've noticed nothing new. Its all the same and sometimes I end up with 5-6 stacks (wasn't paying attention) and I'm a WAR. One time I ended up with 8 and still survived though not recommended I just wasn't paying attention and had boss healers. I'm not getting one shotted but my hp is spiking faster than wall street so maybe its all in your head.

    Hmm I guess we will make a note to reset Sheild Oath just to be sure either way. Yeah, we have ended up with 5+ stacks plenty of times in the past on PLD and not has serious issues. At one point we got it down to like 10%, after a lot of good attempts that were getting rolled by random tank 1 shots at stack 4.

    We will try some more tonight and see if we can lock down whatever the heck was happening I guess.
