Glad I beat it before echo, but even more glad it's just echo they're adding and no mechanics nerf. And no punishment for extra DPS.

T9 never got a nerf, iirc. So...

(Also Echo isn't a nerf since mechanics are the number one killer in Coil, and those tend to be live or die type mechanics regardless of HP totals)

It can definitely make a difference depending on group. My FC's T9 groups were actually greatly aided by a 5% echo boost because it gave some additional stability to the phase change into final phase without having to blow LB, due to the way our DPS worked out. It also amplifies the margin of error on a number of things - "just barely killed" becomes "just barely survived" (such as back to back meteor streams).

This isn't to say that it's going to neuter a lot of mechanics though, because a lot of them are still going to be fatal and major focal points, but, better stats can make a difference.

That's good for the players who actually have gotten that far. But for those still stuck at T9 due to horrible parties not being able to get past Meteors...yeah, we're still waiting for help on that (outside of getting better players).

Ultimately alot of players probably won't be completing t9 (or t5 for that matter), atleast not anytime soon, because it is supposed to be some of the hardest content out there. I wish you luck in beating t9 and beyond of course, something I haven't done yet myself. But at this point finding players you can trust to be good alongside yourself is your only hope.

This means my static will get to beat FCoB before any significant nerfs. Shame about the Shadow, but I suppose I can live with that. xD This'll make farming a little bit faster and pushing 4 bennus guaranteed for pretty much anyone, which is good.

A little annoyed that Poetics cap isn't removed. It'd be nice to start collecting some BiS pieces...

[Sirius-Khan]

The lack of removal killed my vibe. I just want to get all my classes crit built for pvp dangit.

So no Steps of Faith adjustments? Just avoid Trials Roulette like the plague or instant dropout and take the 30 minute penalty?

Or, you know, try and help out the newbies. Its not a hard fight unless half the group isn't listening, and you won't know if its a bust until you give it a shot.
