    I miss 2.0 when coil T1-4 was difficult, yet could be done without a static. While PUGs failed most of the time, it was still possible for those without statics and much playing time to progress up through t4. Those of us with little time could still progress but not as fast as those with statics. One week you would make it all the way through t4, the next you would only get past t2. It was a nice challenge for those who were not hardcore raiders. None of that is happening now, either have a static or you are getting nowhere with coil. I hope they figure out a better lockout system to get away from this.

    Casuals didn't really didn't start doing coil till like the CT patch 2.1 when they figured out how to cheese T2 with the enrage strat. Back then I was like people using an enrage strat in T2 to bypass almost all the mechanics won't get much farther in the game because passing rot is a very simple mechanic compared to what they throw at you in T5 and beyond. Honestly these people did themselves a disservice by not learning how to do it the correct way and it shows with how far they progressed in coil, because they lack raid awareness.

    Perhaps you should ask SE about making the boss explode when enrage, making that strategy impossibly because the dameg would exeeced even an i130 Tanks's Heath, let alone any group of healer's capacity to heal.

    Also make it all at once instead of a gradual (and though cheesable) DoT.

    Seeing as to how clearance of T2 is not required to continue progression in coil, chances are likely that if SE makes it more 'challenging' than it currently is, it'll probably no longer be done at all .
