How about... an easy mode Coil?

[Boobooman]

Why? The gear is outdated, Alot of the Myth gear is better, which you can pretty much gear out in couple of hours doing hunts, Sure the T5 weapon isnt bad,

T1-4 are a joke now! Just for fun, last week i qued for 1,2 and 4... Got T4, Instant 7k hp as a brd (i109 from hunts!) In between phases i was /dance.... Everything just died so fast, T1-4 does not need any more adjustments, T5 just needs people with abit more brains and less /ragequit

like I enjoyed the x primals but then when you have others that don't move out of the way or you know that 1 second lag spike then people bail out it just becomes a total waste of time (for me) I have spent countless hours learning them and 5 months ago I said to hell with it and quit the game due to FC being Dix and people being rude. I came back and started to find more content that they added and started to focus on my tank classes more so that when I get groups I can enjoy it and not be rude to others as they were to me.

p.s. the only type of FC's I see recruiting are ADD teenagers that have ego trips, Im 37 years old and don't have time to baby sit the angry kids. Though I will say I made a toon on cactaur server for a bit and found the community to be very cool and friendly over there. Might have to do a server change soon.

This right here is part of the problem, having higher gear in t1,2 and 4 allows players to flat-out ignore several mechanics of those turns - such a thing is simply not possible in t5

I think the real issue with people not passing T5 are the instant-death mechanics involved in it such as twister/dreads. Also don't forget just 1 person not knowing divebombs can mpk the whole party by themselves. You still see people having problems in Titan-EX for similar reasons. T7 as another example will be a block for a lot of people regardless of echo unless they actually change/nerf the actual mechanics involved in it. Actually, even T6 probably has enough mechanics involved where simply having echo and trying to brute-force your way to victory won't work.

As I said. Outside of turning the fight's mechanics off completely, I don't see how they could make T5 any easier. You simply HAVE to learn how and when to avoid certain mechanics in there.

You're already playing the easy mode. You have to click off the echo to see the normal mode and you still have the benefit of i100-i110 gears to soften that.

This is endgame, you need to be able to learn mechanics and find 7 other people that are capable of the same.

It's also old content, it's very easy to look online and find info on every mechanic in the encounter.

What you want is youtube. If you don't want the satisfaction of clearing difficult content, watch a video.

We have Story mode, Hard mode, Extreme Mode, Savage Mode... 20% base echo, 50% max echo, +20 ilvls of new gear, various nerfs.... it's a step in the right direction but...

We want Extreme......ly Easy Mode! Make it happen SE! Crank easy up to 11 pls.

At the currently level of easy, I can only hold a drink in one hand. My other hand desperately needs to hold a frozen icecream treat. Make a game that can play itself so I can snack properly!

This is the reason for the OP's suggestion. Practice Mode would give a player hands on experience.

I fully support the idea with one addition: you must complete all 5 turns on normal before you can unlock 2nd Coil.

In a way this is EXCELLENT FANTASTIC AMAZING mechanic. Simply putting a brute force instant death move and smack players who refuse to learn game mechanic is great way to enforce "DDR or DIE". But I can see how this has become a big problem in DF party, since you are thrown in together with random players who may not be aware of these and never learn how to play their roles properly. If anything SE should "fixed" the instant death move to leave you with 500 HP and 150 HP poison tick per second, you won't die, but if your healer is slow with the heal, you will surely die within the next 3-4 seconds.

Failure gives experience. OP needs to fail more.

Are we really discussing turns 1-5 so seriously still? Granted, turn 5 is still a duty finder pain in the butt. But turns 1-4? I duty finder those to try and get my lion mount on paladin and find that they are still easy to beat with even the most motley crew. Everyone could be in reindeer costumes (weird stuff like this actually happens) and we still win... Yes there are groups that fall apart but, oddly the ones that do fall apart are usually the people that are geared full soldiery gear... lol Give me the nut in the reindeer costume and together we shall conquer eorzea!

Turn 5 should be so easy but really, people need to pay attention. If it wasn't turn 5, it would be turn 6. There is always going to be some part of the game where you actually have to turn off the tv and put down the hotpocket.

t5 with echo only has 3 "instant death" mechanics.
Twisters - simply pay attention to your and other people's path
Knocked into wall - stack better
Enrage - 13mins(IIRC?), if you're seeing it the grp has severe DPS problems

And I completely agree that it's a good thing the t5 mechanics can't be brute forced
