This nonsense isn't fun anymore.
Exactly, can I ask what iLvl are you? This is the main issue, even if you worked your way up to iLvl 120, due to the heavy mechanics of Titan EX you'd never beat it. Not your fault, it just takes a couple people to mess up, if the devs want to fix the scaling issue here, they need more creative solutions to ease the fight rather than just a blanket 5-25% echo boost to stats.

Like the OP says, the game is mostly based on mechanics, fights are like on average 75% mechanics and 25% gear/stats. Some fights are skewed more towards mechanics or stats but regardless, it's overwhelmingly mechanics. So their solution to make the fights easier for lesser skilled players is to ease the stats dependency, which is the most insignificant determiner of the fight? Lazy balancing in my opinion, that will do a lot of harm to the game because we're losing players like you.
