The groups that rely on the enrage mechanic to clear T2 are, frankly, being cheated out of the ability to learn the proper mechanics, and are put into an unfavorable position when it comes to the coil or extreme mode primals. And the pug groups that pick them up and wipe repeatedly are the casualties of this pattern.
    having more il-90 gear allows more room for mistakes lag-related or just reflex-related. It allows those who actually want to learn to get a more comfortable background to learn the fight than just a "error => wipe" like it is against Titan HM (I dunno yet how unforgiving it is for the EX primals). If people are unwilling to learn, then you can pick others. There are plenty who are seeking statics.

    I can't believe that people are really saying that this is just "creative use" of mechanics while maintaining that they're not making an already easy fight laughable. Do it however you want, but at least admit you're doing it because you can't coordinate with other players and that you cannot step out of a red line. Good luck in the new Extremes.

    Edit: I feel bad for players with legitimate ISP issues, but there's really no excuse for those without said issues.
