I'll sum up what I said in another thread. FCoB fights are designed in a way where echo/overgearing does help, but it has some focus on performing your role rather than the fight. You have the constant pressure of a DPS check, tanks managing cooldowns and healers being on top of mitigation/topping off in each of the turns in FCoB. There's a good balance of both the mechanics and individual role performance.

In SCoB, all of that means jack shite and you're looking at dancing with the bosses than actually performing the role. You moved during blighted? You're dead. A little bit too close to the Renaud? You're dead. One foot in too deep in anything involving T9? You're dead. Overgearing/Echo does absolutely nothing to SCoB the way it was and it'd never be DF friendly unless they actually changed the mechanics.

That being said, I really hope they don't do anything other than add echo and maybe nerf T11's trash for FCoB. Honestly it's less overall BS Than SCoB and wouldn't need any other changes to be more player Friendly.

Poetics weekly cap unlock...maybe? hopefully?

I don't get this resentment over the easing of difficulty on Coil, those who care about it have all done it already. Let those who can't get a static group enjoy it for a change.

are you implying that with a 20 ilvl increase (when the fight came out 110 was the ilvl limit) and echo the fight is not easier? lol. is still a hard fight yeah, but it's a lot easier than what it used to be.

See: Every other MMO.

Well if they nerf fcob this patch what changes?
Ppl gonna clear normally as they were farming all week everyday.
Besides it's pretty close to expac so idk y u'd wanna cling onto something tht will be like lol wut its not even worth the hassle when u can do the new alexander raid etc.
soon ppl won't do fcob similar to how ppl don't do t3 because its pointless and will only be for clears and maybe crafting materials.
Hopefully they fix/ add a few more QoL things and tie up some loose ends before 3.0.

I'm sorry, I can't quite understand your language. Did you have a point mixed in there somewhere amongst the u, y, wut, ppl, tht?
