Hows A8s nowadays?

[Sanghelios]

Hello there. Back then my raid group only got close to a A7 kill before creator came up so i never got the chance for A8 and its pretty rewards. So i was looking for doing it unsync since before sb it was quite impossible to find groups for it on pf. Now i gathered some people with various exp so we can go for a kill. I just wonder how much of the difficulty did remain now with the all the buffs for the party (Echo, Unsync)? Dont think its that easy already but would like to know what am i looking at.

Thanks!

Only did it on i270 on lv60. Going from that, I don't think it's gonna be easier on 70. You will have to do mechanics, maybe not all of them, but if you fail the ones you see, you'll likely still wipe. At some points higher ilvl and more dps made it harder, even on 60. Looking at you adds...

It's been made many many times more difficult (if not near impossible) because of how Gavel works in the last phase.

You are required to take damage in various ways to get rid of stacks, but because of the level difference these can now miss you.

I'm not sure if SE is aware of this, I'm sure someone has put in a bug report for it though.
