Twisters, dreadknight, and death-wall still be giving people problems in T5.

Orly, I wonder if every new fight was harder than the previous, wouldn't they reach a limit? Wouldn't they reach a point where the skill required would be too high? People kept saying the same even about trials but each trial has its own difficutly level not related to the previous, it's not much different here, I bet if you asked around you will get different opinions on which was the easiest and hardest turn.

And yes, you are just trying to preserve your special snowflake status, denial wont hide that.

At least people will be able to farm it faster to gear alts.

So Titan and Garu EX still have 1 shot mechanics and tank swapping while T6 doesn't?

Am I understanding this right?

I'm softcore and I don't really see how that makes sense.

T9 shows you ahead of time where they'll be diving in from so you can prepare for it. T5 is just whichever spot is closest to the target, and then does it three times in a row to randomly picked targets with a shorter time frame to get away in comparison to T9.

Death wall is a mechanic at any rate since you're supposed to avoid hitting it, and divebombs have the added large knockback effect to drill that into your head. The pit just ended up being ideal since it removes the need to check for Twin and dodge to the side of wherever he's pointing at.

People who had trouble with twisters and divebombs in T5 are going to be in for a shock when they try to do T9 in the duty finder. In the coming days a bunch of T9 is too hard topics.

I personally welcome the challenge of T9.
I found T5 fun. The fight part. Not the DF part. xD

I'm not a huge fan of instant kill mechanics in the first place. I think they should be punishing, but not crippling.

At least I feel that way about instant kills in non-endgame fights. In the true badass boss fights at the ends of coils or tops of towers or whatever, yes. Instant kill mechanics. The bosses leading up to those badass fights should have lower-level versions of those mechanics that are less punishing, in order to prep you for the instant-kills in the final bosses.

I've done t6, and honestly the instant-kill bouquet was never something I particularly worried about... Except when it happened to me randomly when I literally wasn't doing anything at all. Or if I wasn't paying attention. :P Anyway, I think it's a good idea to "Dumb this down". As for the nerf in t7, I'm fine with petrification no longer one-shotting you (For already stated reasons) but the rest seems like kind of a cop-out. I've never made attempts on 8 so I can't comment on that.
