As a result, a large amount of people haven't been able to clear it due to the fact that people aren't used to this type of battle, and as a result, it's nerfed. While this type of encounter may be seen in Heavensward, this is the first of its kind.
if you can get to SoF, you should be able to clear it...
coordination? it takes 1 person to properly shoot dragonslayer spears. tanks to pull mobs, and ppl to shoot cannons. how is that any more coordination than SV HM, cannon fight? or any other instance battles.
if ppl aren't used to it, maybe it's time to get used to it, after getting that far. SoF doesn't need a hard mode, it needs ppl to start learning how to play the game, on even a basic level.
I don't even see how it's possible to fail the fight, if you seen it before, and know the mechanics. Do ppl expect to get carried through all the content, as long as the game exist? maybe ppl should stick to watching anime or something, if you can't even beat such easy content.
It's not about hardcore vs casual. there's plenty of casual ppl that are skilled players. Some of the coil world first clears, were made with casual ppl on the teams. If you can't clear this content, after coming that far, you're just really incompetent, and lazy. You just need to ask ppl with clears, to help you out, but even that seems beyond the capabilities of these incompetent ppl. they just whine and demand nerfs, to already easy content.
it's just mindboggling how ppl can't even follow such simple directions, as to clear this content. What were they even doing in earlier content? afk their way through it all? What part of SoF, is difficult?
