    Changing Titan Ex Echo

    It keeps popping up where ppl want adjustments to Titan EX. Technically speaking, the Echo stat buff doesnt help with people that are trying to get past Titan Ex, it's not the outputs, its the mechanics that makes or breaks Titan Ex. Echo buff currently causes Titan's rotations to skip, for example healer runs to outside for gaol and the Echo skips over Titan's rotation and he jumps and u fall to doom inside the gaol. (Used as an example of how Echo fails to improve survivability, yes healers can learn to circumvent this)

    Instead of buffing outputs for TItan Ex, why not have Echo adjust the mechanics so ppl with latency or timing issues dont instantly wipe the party where Echo stat buffs will never help.

    The whole purpose of the Echo is to make the content easier to push through because the content is considered Dated. If Echo nerfed the mechanics instead of buffed the outputs, it's really the only way to achieve this purpose on Titan Ex.

    The people who got past Titan Ex back before it was dated will prolly whine how that would be 'too much nerf' but to point to an actual example in the game of 'too much nerf' all you have to look at is Demon Wall in Ampadour Keep. At least with the Echo adjusted in this way, every time u enter Titan Ex, it will be it's 'pure' form, and only lessen the mechanics over time as you keep at it, resetting back to its 'pure' form each time you go in.

    I'm not saying the mechanics adjustment should be implemented in addition to the Stat boosts, I'm saying the Stat Boosts should be removed and replaced with Mechanics adjustments

    Another completely viable alternative:

That sort of thing would make it easier for those who are having a lot of difficulty clearing the fight without just turning it into Titan HM.
    EDIT: As of 2.3 Titan EX wil no longer be required for access to Thornmarch EX and Wholeater EX. Totally different direction but works for me. Thanks Devs! Still leaves it a completely viable option to train LS or FC members on the fight but they aren't stuck in the Statis that clearing this fight has been causing too oftenly.
