One shotting the person (or almost that) isn't enough already, boss HAS to recover HP as well!! WTF

Nael did this in 1.0 as well, so I don't think they'd remove such an homage.
They tend to remove insta-kill mechanics. In T9 this may be Binding Chains, Heavensfall (direct landing on you damage), and Garrote stacks.
Not that I'd welcome any changes to these, mind you.

Blighted hit's for 16-18k I had Vengeance on and was hit for 8.6k and didn't die..

And so the whiners win again and Second Coil mechanics are nerfed. At least T9 is still in-tact, -for now-.

And because I know someone is going to call me some elitist trying to preserve my special snowflake status or w/e, let me just preempt you by saying that's not the case. Fights in this game do not become mechanically easier as you progress, they become mechanically harder. If you can't deal with the mechanics in T6-8 there is very little probability you're going to be able to handle the mechanics in T9, let alone Final Coil. Mechanics compromise more of the actually "Fights" in this game than knowing your class/rotation does, this is why I don't have a problem with echo because you will always have the opportunity to understand or learn your optimal rotation/cooldown usage. By nerfing the mechanics you are basically moving people into content that they don't have the ability to execute, and thus you move the complaints about content into the newest set of content rather than leaving people to figure out content that they deserve to be in still. Not everyone HAS to be in Final Coil, some people still need to learn how to deal with the more complex mechanics of T7-8 before they -deserve- to be able to move on to the latest content (6 was zergable even before these changes, so that makes it even more laughable). There's nothing elitist about that, it's just a reality that people are being advanced into content they have no business challenging just because they're upset about being left behind in content that is only ONE MAIN PATCH CYCLE OLD.
