How likely is Alex savage to be nerfed.

[Lone-wolfe-02]

I ask simply because of SE's track record of doing so, many people don't seem to think so but i just have a feeling it will happen eventually. Thoughts?.

Did they nerf Coil savage?

Did they nerf Coil savage?

Savage coil wasn't a part of gear progression it dropped nothing more and it was just there for a challenge, savage alexander on the other hand is a part of gear progression so it probably will get nerfed in 3.2 when the next alex raid comes out.

Did they nerf Coil savage?

yes, by adding more item levels that did not sync and crafted gear, and then even more with undersized party

Probably won't be outside of outgearing it. Savage Second Coil wasn't nerfed, we just got stronger. Alex Normal is already in place for easy mode raiding. But if they do decide to do so, Echo does the job.

[Felis]

It get nerfed with higher ilevel gears

Eventually? Most definitely.

Before 3.1 launches? I'd say unlikely, and if anything, I imagine some bug fixes that essentially make certain clear methods of A4S harder are incoming.

You mean like how they fixed the enrage method 'bug' from T2? Lol.

Quite a quantitative difference between the two. Enrage method relies on poor design in the fight's mechanics. Taking 2 balls at once with your dead body relies on faulty netcode and using a mechanic in the game (death) in a way that clearly isn't intended, and most likely isn't functioning correctly.
The comparison falls somewhere inbetween T5's first clears that clearly abused a glitch, and the enrage method. It's a bit lame, albeit clever, to use the poor netcode the game has always had against it but it certainly doesn't take away from the fight as much as Twintania cheese did, there's still a substantial challenge in clearing the fight.

Snip.

So you don't think Lucrezias clear is legit then? I mean why else would you believe it should be 'addressed' if not for that very reason.

Folk using the infamous pit in T5 to dodge Divebombs isn't necessarily intended either as you're able to move out of the vertical range of said Divebombs by clever use of the terrain.
