    I accept that it worked for you personally, but for me, it just would not. My main problem (and the reason I could not clear T5 so far) is that everything happens just way too fast for me. Could be because I am a bit older than most players (yes, at age 34, your reflexes DO get worse. Not extremely, but in things like coil, it shows. Look forward to it, today's elitists ), it happened to me a lot that I had to look down at my crossbar b/c I needed to see my HP and the current CD times of my commands, but when I looked up back again, I was dead. The problem is that I cannot learn from this because I fail to see why exactly I screwed up. I would love to see some kind of "rewind and replay" function, but currently, it just isn't there.

    Compared to that, I prepared for the previous fights (like Garuda and Titan HM) by watching videos, pausing once in a while, taking my time to understand what is going on, and then resuming the vid. Maybe I am isolated case, but I am curious if other players feel the same way.

    You want to debuff the mechanics so they don´t instantly kill you?

    So breaking news is, you survive a Divebomb if you get hit and have enough HP... Conflags won´t kill you as likely, as you deal out more damage and bring them down faster... fyou need no VIT Gear to survive fireballs, due to increased HP...

    additional to echo, you buy i100 Gear, thus giving you a even more boost (which should be quite full by now)

    ECHO adresses (nearly) all of your "don´t kill me instant" issues,... ECHO is not easy mode, it´s "please don´t touch me" mode... *

    we did weeks over weeks training this turns, with lesser gear, and without echo... so by now this should be a walk in the park - with or without echo...

    you don´t train for climbing a mountain by running in the plains...

    what this is: you get content on the silver plate, and you aksing for the golden one ...

    * im not sure but i guess a challenge would be doing T1-5 in Job Gear, and im pretty sure, with 15% ... it´s doable...

    Coil isn't too hard though.
    If you put in the practice, you can learn the fights in a short amount of time. The mechanics of each fight are not difficult to understand, and countering them requires slight focus at most. Hitting enrage shouldn't be a problem either, considering that a lot of people who don't run BcoB2 are now hitting i100 on their main classes.

    I'm not saying this to try put anyone down. I just wish more people would properly give the fights a try before saying, "It's too hard."

    Learning the mechanics in coil is actually harder than you think. Party finder barely has any learning parties, I found one "learning" party for T5 and I quote learning because it said basically only people ilvl90 can join. Personally, I think that's illogical since the mininmun requirement for it is 82. Anyways back on topic and to make it short..people will never learn if barely anyone is willing to teach them..that or if the person learning is stubborn.

    Then make one. This is the biggest problem I see with this argument. "There's little to no learning PF parties" Because you, and others who want to learn, won't make them. It's just expected for them to be there.

    Didn't read thread but, all I want is a "story mode" coil, I don't care about loot, I just want to know the story and see the cutscenes.
