Nerf a FCOB fight!

[Eidolon]

I remember stepping into FCOB week 1. I remember the first time we cleared T10, we started making jokes about how SE would nerf the turn. For fun, how would you change the fights if you were nerfing them?

I.e.

t10
Heat lightning no longer applies vulnerability!
Adds no longer tether
Wild charge can be soaked with any class without CD
Heat lightning now increases damage dealt rather than inflicting vulnerability

You had to remind me... This makes me sad that this isn't even a joke thread and that SE will be nerfing it once the lockout is removed and it is put into DF you can expect the complaints to roll in about how difficult it is and lo and behold ez mode.

I do believe they mentionned that there will be no echo boost right as the lockout is removed, maybe at a later time, but not in this next patch.

Turn 13 will be a pain with echo, we already have to slow DPS so we don't push into 3rd phase before 3rd add in 2nd phase.

More time to manderville.

If they were to nerf all adds in FcoB, each turn would become significantly easier. Only real exception would be t13, as dealing with Flatten/Flares/Ahk Morn is still a tight heal and tank check.

Edit: But to be specific
T10) Adds no longer get tethered for being too close, so now you can AoE zerg them.
T11) Adds no longer tether, damage mitigation removed. Tethers don't instantly kill your partner.
T12) Bennus deal less damage, Rebirth does less damage.
T13) reduce hp on all adds... not much else you can do outside lower Bahamut's damage.

[Dererk]

They never nerf the last turn of any coil except for echo but I can see them at lest nerfing the health of the adds in T12 but please keep it that they need to be spread out.

T10: Ninjas can sneak past Imdugud, heading straight to the loot.
T11: Tank Tethers all day long
T12: Phoenix loses stacks every time someone dies
T13: Bahamut sits in the middle of the room doing nothing for 14 mins, then uses Giga Flare enrage.

You guys are taking this way too seriously for a light hearted / joke topic

There's a certain subset of the playerbase who will take this specific topic too seriously. Plus it's possible they could either ninja-nerf or leave them be when they go in DF who knows.

Aha.
For T12, phase auto pushes after the third bennu dies even if your dps is terrabad.
T13, Bahamut gets a permanent dragon kick debuff with no monk present (technically if someone DCs on the pull and everyone else dies Bahamut literally does sit in the middle of the room pretending to cast things for 14 minutes :P).
