    Turn 9 Meteors

    This is got to be the stupidest part of any fight in this game, its to precise especially for DF. Maybe wouldn't be as bad if you had a regular static to perfect all day but otherwise forget it.
    It's like every fight you have to explain to the new person so much I think thats why they quit. Even with exp'd players 99% of the wipes occur here at phase 2, 6 meteors. I suggest not to use anything where one player instantly wipes whole party instantly again, more of a single player game mechanic.

    Coordinaton is hard apparently. Both the sprint method and position method are easy enough for randoms to do of they can pay attention to what is going on. At least it isnt 8 like in Savage...

    And the meteors aren't nearly as tough as the last phase.

    But, t9 isn't meant for everyone to beat. It got only the echo for a reason, no mechanic nerfs

    And honestly, if you can't handle t9, you don't belong in FCoB at all, which is the main reason for anyone to beat it now

    Well, most of FCoB is easier than Nael, especially now that everyone is in full poetics gear. With that being said, I agree that they shouldn't nerf it.

    The last phase is way easier than second set of meteors, as it is scripted and not RNG.

    I myself don't have issues with the second set of meteors, and the method our static used worked very well.. but every so often RNG will screw us.

    And joining other groups that run different tactics is the most intimidating part about T9, as I've seen some downright terrible meteor strategies.

    Once you see Heavensfall, it's usually a win if it's a clear/ farm party.

    Personally, I've seen a lot more fails in last phase due to people derping on dive bombs than screwing up meteors in clear/farm parties. Or, even better, throwing lightning on the party because they're in last phase and tunnel-vision their dps

    Even with a VOIP, you still can't fix that. My original WHM in my static was proof of this.

    I'd argue that part is tricky, but no where near as bad as teaching people elementals in the final phase.

    You're talking about doing a high tier endgame raid with a bunch of randoms of varying degrees of skill and experience whom you'll very likely never meet again. Honestly, do you really expect something to come out of it?

    It only gets harder after T9, so if you can't get a group that sticks and gets it done then you're going to have even more trouble later on.

    You say this like it's the only instance of such a mechanic in the game. *cough*T5/6/7pre-nerf/8/EXprimals/Atomos*cough*
