    I really don't see how they could make T5 any easier outside of just turning the fight mechanics off altogether. I'd have to say that if you're still stuck on T5, you just might not have enough time to play an MMORPG at all. With the 20% Echo buff, free i110 gear being handed out, and no lockout whatsoever, there's really no reason that even a DF group shouldn't be able to steamroll Twintania by now.

    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.

    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

    "Alot" is not a word. Allot is but it's unlikely to be what you want, try "A lot".

    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.

    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.
