If you're hitting at enrage at 2% then people are dying, or they're not using 130 or 135 weapons. And people are already not going back in because they have all their gear. I'm only going in there to sell content now.

Hahaha, lol, NO!!
it's still 10% more damage and 10% more heal than before.
If your group did 2000 Group-DPS, they now will do around 2200 Group-DPS and not 2800 ;-)

But the part with 2/5th of a player and 1/5th of a player should be correct ;-)

Toggling off the echo doesn't change the mechanics to the way it was before the nerfs. Echo =/= mechanic nerfs.

There weren't any nerfs, unless you count the 3rd Shadow not spawning anymore as a nerf (I guess MNK loses stacks on the transition, but that was usually how it went anyway).

That's less of a nerf and more a fix imo.

My team normaly push the dps so much bahamut cast gigaflare while 3rd add pop. So we always have to wait for it.
with 10% you will push it even more.

Woot pony drop increase, i'll finally get the last 3 i need

Unless they just increased the drop by 1% >_>

That may be. Mostly the people still stuck at T9 are there for pure performance issues; either the mentioned lackluster dps, mechanic handling or finding a proper group to do it with. I'm not counting people new to the game or raiding, but rather those people who are stuck at the instance for months.

Overall I have pretty mixed feelings about the echo in general. While it's now easier to go farm and I can generally play them more easily with a group of not so hardcore frands now, it also rewards complacent people who do not pull adequate dps as you mentioned. I think there should not be lazy people in an instance regarded as the current hc end-game in the first place. I've already seen MNKs with 200ish dps in the FCoB. O__o

That is just my opinion though, gratz to anyone just getting into the FCoB now. Hope it's as much for you as it was for me.

@Cyrus. Damn phone.
